Closing out some weird, weird links.

A kind soul who dislikes my ability to sleep helpfully compiled a list of the weirdest Pokemon ever. And for "weirdest," read "most horrifically fucked-up and likely to cause you to have nightmares which rock the very foundations of your soul. Seriously, Pokemon is totally breeding the horror writers of tomorrow, today. It's awesome.

Speaking of horror, "Everglades" made the Honorable Mentions list for The Year's Best Horror. Yay! Maybe "Pavlov" or "The Box" can make the actual cut in 2011. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

Zombies are the new black. If you've been here for a while, you probably already knew that, but this is a fun article, and I contributed a quote, so hey. No loss here.

Tentacle pot pies. Yeah, you're welcome. I want to make an adorable Lovecraft theme dinner, and have everything be a) cute, and b) horrifying if you think about it too hard.

Speaking of horrifying, this was not designed for me. Or maybe that's not so much "horrifying" as it is "proof that life isn't fair." Woe to me, that I do not have this dress.

And yet Amy Mebberson drew Amy Pond as a My Little Pony to make me happy, so maybe the world isn't such a horrible place after all.

...that's all for right now. I still have roughly a metric ton of links to post, but most of them are reviews or things which require actual thought. So I leave you with this lovely dish o' random to get you through this gloomy Wednesday night.

See you tomorrow!

Pokemon is....seriously disturbing. I have the joy of having two kids who were OBSESSED with it, so I know more about it than your average bear.

Where is it okay to have a children's show that has the love interest of one of the villans chase them around with a bullwhip? Oh, yeah. The same place that brought us tentacle porn.

LOVE the dress! You know, the pattern looks pretty simple. I bet if you could track down the fabric, you could find a seamstress who could recreate it for you.

Heck, *I* want to track down the fabric. And the pattern, because I've got some 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' fabric that would be perfect for that pattern.

And, hey....my 20 year HS reunion is coming up. Have to go in style, right?

Yes, I'm going. Somehow, the freaks and geeks all ended up taking over (aka the English academic team, known for our Monty Python injoke buttons and a team captain who introduced us as "I am Lothar of the Hill People and these are my minions!" Yes, he was both my boyfriend and my GM at the time), so it may actually be fun. AND I get to see my mom, grandparents and baby sister for the first time in two years.

Can't believe I'm looking forward to going back to the town I so desperately wanted to escape...

Hey, you got out, and you got to prove to the world that you were AWESOME.

Going back is just icing.
