When Art Attacks

by StSean @ 11:12 pm. Filed under Stan Lee, Things I want more than life itself, art


Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles with Golden Apple Comics is hosting a tribute to Stan Lee. Guy’s like 200, right? Guess they figured he needed honored before the Devil came to get his own. Anyway, the art is WONDERFUL! Some more than others, of course, but one item did get my attention more than the others. And oh! I’m sure it’s cost-prohibitive, but if anyone could get this little guy for me

I would do… well, I’d be in no position to tell you what I’d do. Basically, you’d be telling me what to do. Yeah, I want it that badly. And it would be worth doing.. whatever it was I had to do. C’mon! Look how cute he is!! I would love this little guy more than Stan Lee would, Plus, I’ll put out. Stan Lee would not make you that offer, I guarantee!

I saw something today

by StSean @ 4:03 pm. Filed under UFOs, visual hallucinations


This morning around 9:45, I was waiting for the bus out on MLK Boulevard when something caught my eye – a portion of a rainbow haloing the sun. I’ve seen them before, but only today found out they’re called “sun dogs“. They’re apparently a common enough phenomena, but what made this one unusual were the clouds it was made from. They were feathered, wispy almost, and as I looked at them across the sky, they had an overall wave-like shape the went from west to east. The overall effect (and the copy of The Hastur Cycle in my hand) was pretty creepy.

Then I saw a UFO.

Yeah. No shit. A UFO.

A high-altitude plane was flying southeast to northwest through the sun dog, and the contrail was lingering longer than it should have (I thought it might be a chemtrail, but it did eventually dissipate completely) so I watched it pass overhead and then behind me, when I saw a green dot flying in a straight line north-to-south over the Morris Williams Golf Course. It was lower than the clouds, but high enough that I couldn’t see any details.

The object took about two minutes to pass overhead (noiselessly) and reach the feathered-cloud bank, whereupon it disappeared. I don’t know if I lost it in the sky or what, but I felt strangely let down. Being a big believer in the paranormal and the not-everyday, I was expecting that my first sighting of a UFO would be a bit more exciting. Or that I would be overwhelmed and faint dead away only to wake up a week later in my bed with no memory of the preceding days. Maybe things like that only happen to country folk. Of course, it’s always a bad idea to wish for a different conclusion to an experience; the universe usually makes one repeat the experience with undesired outcomes.

I haven’t heard if anyone else saw this object, but then again, I have no idea where to look for such information. Has anyone else ever seen something strange in the sky? Post your stories here.
