As some of you know, I work as a mortician's aid at a funeral home. I do a lot of the embalming, burial, and in some cases cremation. I do a lot of the hard stuff, because the Undertaker does not need to clean up a "corpse mess". I also help carry caskets to a cemetary. Three hours, twenty dollars an hour, and the ability to take one day off during the work week, while having the weekends off at my will? Sounds pretty awesome right? No, having to deal with dead and their stories is easily the most morbidly saddening thing you will ever experience in your life.

But, that is not what I am here to talk about. Recently, a casket lid fell on my hands. This was due to my hands suddenly falling asleep, and I was unable to properly know if my grip was enough. I should have experience some horrendous pain, seeing how the thing was heavy when attempting to open it. Surprisingly, I only felt a slight sting. During a snack break, another mortician's aid suggested it may have occured due to my CTS. The fact that I later burnt my hand on a hot dish without realising it made me a bit uneasy.

So yeah, not exactly a good thing at all. But, let us lighten up the mood.

I have recently submitted a new poll. Concerning of the concept of Craven and *Ravenpuff's Zapp. I am interested in hearing everyone's insight on it. Not like I really care, but hey... I can try, amirite? So far, it has only two votes. One of which was mine, which was quite obviously the "yes" option. The other was negative and selected by someone who is apparently going to remain anonymous. Lets just call that guy "Alberto" for now. And holy shit, another person said "yes".

I realised that Halloween is coming up in a few months. I am currently thinking of doing a "Grindhouse" fan fiction that day. A grindhouse was a double-feature for horror movies in the 1970's that would normally not get admitted to an ordinary theatre. The idea is to make two stories, both being midly cliche` and rather corny for the sake of it being a tribute to the 70's gore obessession. Not to mention fake little "prevues" before, during, inbetween, and after each "feature presentation".

I have already thought up some ideas for these features. One of them telling the story of a demonic presence on a self-aware Irken spacestation, that is soon infested with a bizzare parasite the demonic entities have possibly manifested, and now only a single survivor has to take on the spawns of hell and his now parasite-infected comrades. Another story revolves around a sadistic guard at an Insane Asylum who is attacked by the patient he once made suffer, and now the entire cellblock has been unleashed; The crazies even manage to get back to Irk, only to be hunted down by a group of defect hunters.
