Tuesday laments what Monday didn't finish

Christian Death's "Romeo in Distress"...

For those of you unfamiliar with this California band, allow me a few observations.
First, Christian Death all-but invented a sub-genre of music known as death rock.
Seconds, they should have never, ever broken up.
Third, you may be thinking "Man, this is a shitty mix" or that the guitars are overly high-pitched. You would be wrong.  This is how XD always sounded.

Welcome to the new Gothlaw

After weeks of work to export, save, migrate and then modify the site, it is finally complete. There are a few new things I'd like to point out first, before I begin re-posting in earnest. Let's begin shall we?



Sure Proust was a wordy bastard, but did he author a pointless blog? 
I think not. Suck it, Marcel!

In no particular order, here are the changes
  • A lot of new folks on the Blog Roll; among them are: the incomparable Stoya's Tumblr site, some new law links, greatly reduced idylls, some humorous and/or juvenile stuff, educational sites, some people I find interesting, new erotica (SFW and otherwise), and, really, anything else that struck my fancy.
  • But, my best find is Siouxsie Law (<-- Psst, over there). Another lawyer of a gothic bent. Needless to say, I was tickled. I knew I couldn't be the only one. So, let's say hail and well met to Siouxsie. I'm not sure if she does litigation and appellate law like me, but we're kind of a fucked up breed to begin with.
  • The look is a lot less polished, a lot more focused, a lot less cluttered, and -- hopefully -- more readable. After all, reading is the point of a blog, and a site design should make it easier and friendlier, not give you a migraine.
  • In the site redesign are some new things. The translation bar still appears, although it as the bottom of the page. To my international visitors, I say thanks again, and I hope that assists you. Some other elements have been removed and/or consolidated.
  • My profile has been updated.
  • I have also included a "popularity contest"; an-up-to-the-moment snapshot of the most popular pages for the current week (I dare say Hot Nerd Girls will feature prominently most of the time...there are about 2+ years worth to choose from).
  • There are new links within each post, for social sharing, as well as direct email functions.
There are some more minor things, as you'll discover. Anyway, take a look around, whistle by the graveyard, and feel free to comment on anything you wish. I'm a big boy, and I'm not easily offended!

If you want to reach me, I can always be reached at concave.scream@yahoo.com. You can also add me to your Y! or MSN Messenger using that same address.

Until tomorrow, pleasant dreams of soft rain humming into a quiet night.

Monday says let's see if we can get this joint jumpin'

Ahhhh, yeah. RATM's classic "Killing in the Name of." What better way to welcome back to the Nox-ospshere than with a classic, high energy, pissed off moment from one of the 90s best albums.

On a side note, I probably am not going to be able to update this 4-5 times a day as previously was the case. That's cool though. Consider it analogous to beer: I'll try to make it count, and give you quality not quantity

Well, Well, Well...Guess who's coming back?

This guy, that's who.

Who's happy to be coming back?
 
As you may remember, I was in the process of moving from my digs in Mid-America to the paradise of Hawaii. Been here and working now for about 4 months, and things have finally calmed down enough to post again on a semi-regular basis.
I don't expect the content to change: Same ole' lefty politics, gallows humor, issues in the law, odd news stories, things pissing me off RE: current affairs, libertine sexual themes, daily YouTubes of whatever strikes my fancy, as well as obligatory/gratuitous hot nerd/goth chicks (work that SEO, yo).

Until then (which shall be soon, I promise) enjoy a Slave Leia Convention! wh00t1!1!

The one in the bikini is totally checking me out...
