Saturday evening post: Young Belphagor
Ooh. I just found my young Belphagor: Isn’t he sweet? Of course, he should have dark brown eyes, and young Belphagor had no tattoos, until…oh, right. You have to read the second trilogy to find that out. Sorry for the horrible tease. (notsorry) To make up for it, here’s a brief excerpt from young Belphagor’s…

Bonus post: Friday flesh
And because I just happened to have some spare nekkid tattooed people “lying about,” I thought I’d post a few bits of candy for everyone: Personally, I don’t think he’s nearly as hot as Mateo, but…OMG…I’m typing right under his groin! Seriously, though, I prefer this one: And in keeping with the theme of my…

Things are coming…wait, look over there!
There are two things of goodness coming, neither of which I’m able to fully divulge yet. But I can partially divulge them, and partially divulge I shall. I hope to be able to post the full details in the next week or two, but in the meantime, I’ve uploaded a new batch of images to the…

You might be wondering what that slide show is in the banner. Those are the last nine pictures I uploaded to Flickr. At the time I originally wrote this post, they were pictures from my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia in June/July 2006, now shown below. View the progression of sunset beginning at midnight on…
