| Jeanne says:
I love words and love trivia, so it figures that I would end up a librarian. During the day, I struggle with the intricacies of copyright and distribution lists; at night, I read - books, magazines, online journals, bulletin boards, CD liner notes, etc. - and dream of writing spookily oriented coffee table books. Hobbies: reading, photography, dancing, recorder music, genealogy, searching yard sales and antique stores for daguerreotypes and early photographs Favorite Audio: Nick Cave, They Might Be Giants, the Pogues, Dead Can Dance, Assemblage 23, Anything Box, '80s synthpop, swirlygoth Favorite Video: MST3K, Young Sherlock Holmes, all things Muppet, Star Wars, offbeat documentaries One day hopes to: see the Bone Chapel in Prague, live near the ocean,
learn what it takes to be a pet psychic or play tenor recorder for an Elizabethan
chamber music group

| Bunny says:
My name is Bunny, a nickname given to me by friends many moons ago.
I am a B-Movie fanatic, collecting and absorbing as many of these classic gems as possible. My favorites are: William Castle's "Mr. Sardonicus", Hammer Film's "Frankenstein & the Monster From Hell", the thinking man's sci-fi "It Conquered the World" and the George Romero classic "Dawn of the Dead" (which I shudder to refer to as just another B-movie). When I'm not researching embalming techniques or cataloging books about the existential crisis humans undergo in the grief process I am immersed in one of the following interests: Hobbies: videography, photography, classic video games, computers, scriptwriting, roleplaying, reading. Favorite Authors: H.P. Lovecraft, Desmond Morris, David Gerlernter, Dr. Michio Kaku and Forrest J. Ackerman (Uncle Forry!) Favorite Video: MST3K, Doctor Who, Classic 80s Cartoons, B-movies of all shapes, sizes and decades! One day hopes to: Own a souped-up hearse,
manage a traveling sideshow
or finally get that tattoo of Ookla
the Mok

| Look past the volleyball
Look past the squawking gull Ignore the mountain of discarded folderol... --They Might Be Giants Folderol began in April 2000 and is one girl's view of what makes the web interesting. It's updated every day Monday through Friday, barring vacation and/or catastrophe. Each day has its own theme, as seen below: Mondays: Music, Dance, Art & Literature

| A valiant attempt to catalog the passing of celebrities both famous and forgotten, the Dead Log is updated weekly with the latest personages who have crossed over and are now pestering John Edward. The Shroud keeps them immortal, or at least in a small image. |

| This is Jeanne's experiment with a journal. It's so experimental, in fact, that she has no idea how long it's going to last or how often it's going to be updated (ergo, subscribe to the notify list if you want to be, um, notified of anything). See what spooky librarians dream about at night. Electric sheep are not out of the question. |
 |
| This is Bunny's experiment with capturing those fond memories, strange feelings and wicked-good ideas. We expect this to be a hodge-podge, a cornucopia, a pot-luck, crap-shoot and any other metaphoric phrases you can pull out of your high school vocabulary work book. Come by and explore a topic with me, hey, it sure beats working. |
