...love the freak show. Friday was a particularly good day for costumes, a number of which seemed more appropriate to an S&M convention. At one point a black angel was seen in discussion with two white angels on the proper construction of a truss to support the wings. The Con has a weirdly sublimated sexual atmosphere. Tight and/or revealing outfits were not uncommon for both women and men. Actually the ratio of women seemed higher than one would expect. I would guess the number at around one third.

Maybe Maguire is a control freak because he never had much control over things as a kid. His parents were 18 and 20 when they had him, and split up two years later.

...throw punches in Boxing Chump or bang on the drums in Beat Freak. And then there's Wishi Washi, where you clean virtual windows and score points for washing speed and thoroughness. (An unlikely premise, but then no one expected the Sims to be a hit either.) The whole package retails around €60. Eventually, Sony plans to merge the technology with other PS2 franchises, like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid. In the meantime, that nasty karate master is coming straight at me: a kick to the groin should do the trick. A Foggy Idea It's guaranteed...

...music booming in the shop is heavy, probably Nordic, and a bootlegged DVD is showing the latest video from the German band Lucyfire. "We're thinking of going for the cowboy look like these guys, at our next show," jokes Otong, Koil's lead singer. "Our fans would probably freak...
