I will let Morrissey sing how I feel.

Unlovable
4AD is going to release a box set of Dead Can Dance’s albums! DCD is essential listening, folks. Lisa Gerrard’s voice is really something else. If you’re not familiar with her, you would have heard her voice in the Gladiator Soundtrack. Remember that? Yes, that was her. Anyway, the box set will contain 9 remastered albums of DCD. I have a few of their albums but I still want this. The box set is quite expensive though.
I haven’t browsed boingboing.net for ages but thanks to them, I have these to add to my wish list:
The photos here are the notebooks I want. They’re expensive. $36 for a large one and $22 for small but they’re works of art. I wonder how the etching was done. Anyone feeling generous out there? There are more designs at modofly.net
R.I.P. Vampira

Maila Nurmi, more popularly known as playing the role of Vampira, died last January 10. She came before Elvira and even sued her for copying her style. She gained a cult following later on in her career. Even actors became her fans. Despite her popularity, she experienced a lot of hardship as she aged. She became stereotyped for playing the horror mistress so producers didn’t hire her for any other role except for something horror-related. She had to give up her acting career and just settled for opening up an antique shop in her home and showing up in conventions. She died at the age of 86 but her image will remain immortal especially among fans and goth women who idolize her.

Been feeling a bit nostalgic and watching The Cure videos on youtube.
