poltergeists or psychokinesis?
Is a Poltergeist a Ghostly Interference or a Manifestation of a Suppressed Female Psyche?
A variation on the theme of my fondness for bloody telekinetic females and a brief exploration of cultural unease with female blood.

"The link between femininity and the harboring of otherworldly power signals a cultural anxiety about the very nature of being female and gestures towards a historical view of women as being both cursed and unclean."

And speaking of female power (and poetic blood), check out the Blood Pudding Press blog for a new announcement about what's next from Blood Pudding Press:

And speaking of what's next, here's the latest blurb from Slash Pine Press, who are soon to publish my own latest poetry chapbook, FONDANT PIG ANGST. Yay!
"It's coming in a month: FONDANT PIG ANGST. A chapbook of post-horrific proportions. Never have pastries and missing hands gone so well together. Pre-order available very, very soon."
*
And speaking of bloody horror films, Columbus-based indie film company CutThroat Entertainment (known to me because I do a little writing and PR for them) is soon to premiere their first short horror film, BREAK. You may have heard me mention this before; now I'm mentioning it again, because it's also coming soon--the evening of December 3 to be exact. Tickets are still available; in fact, you can get them through me.
If attending a special premiere party for an independent horror film sounds like an interesting proposition to you, you may find out more via my article here (one difference is that after I wrote this article, the ticket price was reduced to only $10 apiece):

If you're interested in acquiring tickets, just ask me. I'll be there and you can be there, too!

With my next update I should probably start a new entry, but here is one more update for this one. I have a new poem in the latest issue of Melusine:

poetry research (vaginas & poltergeists)
Today I typed myself into a search engine (I do this from time to time; let's just call it "poetry research") and happened upon this bizarre page called Vagina Connoisseur that randomly features a quote from one of my poems:
http://vaginaconnoisseur.com/
What the heck is going on here? I didn't willingly contribute my quote to this site. Does this have something to with my designer vagina poetry or maybe my new hair cut?
While I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, I can't say I'm entirely displeased. After all, I do like vaginas and I do like randomosity and this site seems to have plenty of both and more--from gynecological diagrams to vagina origami to a song playing in the background that sounds like it belongs in some kind of hokey Vagina Western...
If you click on the 'shop' link, you can even buy your own vagina costume.
Weird.

Speaking of vaginas (well kinda), let's talk about questionable self-defense techniques for women.
Questionable self-defense technique #1--Disguise yourself as a vending machine:
http://bust.com/blog/2009/11/16/forget-pepper-spray-disguise-yourself-as-a-vending-machine-for-safety.html
Questionable self-defense technique #2--Wear blades or barbs inside your vagina:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1915454/rapeaxe_is_it_a_good_idea.html?cat=5
Could we have some better options maybe? Pretty please?
*
I seem to be dragging my feet (and all my other extremities) a little bit re: the poltergeist article (and pretty much everything else) I had tentatively planned to complete today, so I might not be completing it until tomorrow.
So if anyone has a little firsthand account of poltergeist activity, feel free to make contact (with me; not the poltergeist) and I'll try to include you in my article.
