Creepy good music video {3} 9 Crimes, by Damien Rice



Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you

Creepy good music video {2} The Fear, by Lily Allen



I don't know what's right and what's real any more
I don't know how I'm meant to feel any more
When do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Creepy good music video {1} Chasing Pavements, by Adele



I build myself up
And fly around in circles
Waitin' as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle

Way out of my league ...



She's a high 9, and you're barely a 4!  She's way out of your league, man.

One-Minute Time Machine


Every time the beautiful Regina rejects his advances, James pushes a red button and tries again, all the while unaware of the reality and consequences of his actions.
On the bright side, you're the first successful multiple suicide. That's pretty cool.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [3] Leviticus


(image credit)

One thread in the complex storyline of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the link between verses from the Book of Leviticus and gruesome murders of women. Leviticus is the 3rd book of the Hebrew Bible and also of the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This novel and film are set in Sweden, where there is no longer an officially recognized church. While Swedes still identify as Christians, the majority of them don't believe in God. It is in this context that the storyline of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo unfolds: For 40 years, no one could solve the mystery of a young girl's disappearance, because even the most dogged detective, distraught great uncle, and curious townspeople thought one of the girl's journal entries was phone numbers - instead of references to the Leviticus. It took the investigative journalist's daughter to notice, offhandedly, that the entry pointed to Biblical verses.
