                            The only reason why I'm even considering the idea of taking a course in German is so I can watch this movie without the English subtitles.

       Irvine Wlesh   (official)     (fan site)
                                 He wrote Trainspotting, because everyone knows that Trainspotting was a book, then a play, before it was made into a movie.

       Jack Kerouac   (fan site)     (Heavenly Lane)     (Jack Kerouac Haiku Page)
                                 It seems that a majority of people had their first contact with Jack Kerouac when they were 15 due to reading "On the Road".
  I read it during the summer before grade 9. I have yet to recover.

      Slave Labor Graphics
                          Home of Lenore and other comics. I like the monkey.

                            And you thought your High School years were bad.

                            I'm still trying to figure this out. but it's pretty damn funny. Also visit the author's main site Tourniquet

     When I am King
                            Every time I read this, I always think of the kids in my neighbourhood yelling at the poor Dickie-Dee ice cream vendors.

      Web Cartoonist Choice Awards
                            Just as it says. Out of this years nominees, I've only had the chance to glance at "Anne Frank conquers the Moon Nazi's", Sinfest and Demonology 101 . But They didn't make the cut. Boooooooo.

      Nowhere Girl
                            A Beautifully drawn comic about a lesbian outcast.

     Sinfest
                             Imagine if Calvin from 'Calvin and Hobbes' had finally hit puberty and started hitting on the girl next door who grew a foot or two and became a total skank. Also featuring: The best Devil ever, God's Fanboy, a talking Pig, spoken word poetry, Ghetto talk, Angel hunting, and Slash makes an appearance as a Hand-Puppet of God.

Dead Playground Updated sporadically with a few broken links. Damnation was a good comic but the author doesn't seem to have time for it.

MYTHOLOGY

       The Encyclopedia Mythica
                         The name says it. Everything you wanted to know about Mythology from all over the world.

        Myths and Legends
                           More or less a touchstone for people who are looking for web pages about a specific branch of Mythology.

MOVIES AND DIRECTORS

        The City of Absurdity: The mysterious world of David Lynch
                            Que "Twin Peaks" music.

         Cosmo's Factory
                               Throw on your best pair of fishnet stockings and do the time warp baby, because this site has everything  you need to watch the classic cult film " The Rocky Horror Picture Show".    ( Not the artery, but the vein.....).

         Camp Blood
                                  Yeah! Friday 13th movies!. The best way to spend the summer is to get a group of friends together and watch all of these and the Nightmare and Elm street movies. Just to waste time and money. Anyways, there are not many movies now where you can gleefully shout " No don't do that! you stupid... Now look what you've done, you've been caught by Jason. Oh you're free now, well  RUN. Not that way... you deserve to die you know that! GO JASON!". Horror movies today are so sarcastic or based around religion that one can't help but wait hopefully for Witchboard part 15.
 
Ginger Snaps

A lot of people don't like this movie. Yeah well, you suck. 

SITES I LIKE

          Burning Man
                       Everything you needed to know about the infamous Burning Man gathering. Highly recommended for those who are into fringe and communities of a special sort.

          Vault of Erowid
                           Absolutely no comment. You want a site with everything, go here. You want to find what you want, go use Yahoo!.
 

          New City: Alternative America
                           Give it a whirl, you don't know what you might find.

           Urban Legend Reference
                             Has everything you need to know about Urban legends, old and new. It's also here because I get sick to my stomach everytime Little Lori tries to tell me that Tommy Hilfiger dissed blacks and gays on Opera. Now, I'm not a fan of Tommy Hilfiger, it's just that  know it's not true. However, I do want to try the Pink Floyd/Wizaard of Oz thing, which is also on the site.

            Beliefnet
                              This is rather ironic, and Atheist on a seemingly religious site. But it caters to everyone; Christians, Pagans, Atheists, Bhuddist, Zoroastrians, etc..........

            Disinformation
                               I recommend that everyone buy the books. But the articles on the site are just as good. Leftist leaning.

            C-Kartel
                               How in the hell should I know.

           Alternet          Guerrilla News Network
                              Same as DisInfo. Only with a better updating schedule and based more around politics.

           Forgotten Newfoundland: Newfoundland Urban Exploration Society
                                The sort of thing that makes you proud to be a Newfoundlander; climbing over and investigating crap that the Americans Military left behind.

How to Shoplift A controversial article on....... How to SHOPLIFT. My. Aren't we full of surprises today!
