Captain Lou Albano--iconic wrestler, Saturday morning Mario, and Cyndi Lauper's video papa--has passed away.

It's like a happy neon bit of my childhood, gone...

Good reason not to read the rags: Starsuckers celebrity hoax dupes tabloids [Guardian.co.uk]

A documentary team decided to test the press by phoning in fake celebrity gossip that could be easily verified (or disproved), and recorded how often the press simply ran the salacious stories without checking the facts.

And if that's not good enough for you, think about this: every time you buy one of those rags, Jon and Kate Gosselin gets paid.

Stop the madness, America!

About dream/reading tags

y-* tags categorize dreams.

For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).

For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).

x-* tags categorize books.

Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.
