New Wickedness
New listing in my Etsy shop: Anti-Christ-mas ornaments!
Ornaments for those who are sick of having X-mas commercialism shoved down their throat months before the actual holiday.
I'll be busy working on other non-conformists ornaments through mid-December, hopefully.
Also, my website is finally open for business again! Go me!
Now back to the work table with me!

News From the Trenches and Other Tales.
Well, actually I just wanted to catch your eye. I'm assuming it worked since you're here. Just kidding!
The trip across country is now done. Thankfully! It went smoothly considering all of the stress I was holding on to. The last big move from state to state, I almost killed Jaysan. Seriously. This time we did it the easy way and had the Army move us. We were only without our household goods for a week or so which was very nice to say the least. When I was young, my parents had to wait forever to get the household goods. Since the movers arrived and unloaded an entire truckload into a small townhouse, I've been slowly gettting organized. I have a much small house now, so everything has to be in its place at all times. It's hard sometimes being a packrat. I am hoping to get the unpacking completed by the end of this week. We shall see....
I also wanted to pop on here and mention a link I came across this evening.
It's full of interesting stories of the, well, dark kind. Anything from ghosts to swindlers, etc. So if you get a chance, I recommend you check it out. You might find a good story to haunt your friends this Halloween.
I'm off to conquer more packing paper and boxes. Will it ever end? Hehehe...

Death of a Serial Killer
Years ago, when I was 17 and lived in El Paso Texas, there was a killer on the loose in the neighborhood. Girls were disappearing. Girls from the middle school that my family lived across the street from. There were also older girls and a few grown women who went missing. 1987 was shit for my social life! My Dad gave a super early curfew. I was livid. I was invincible. Immortal, as are all teenagers. However, I soon learned about mortality and fear. It came in the form of a man (I use this loosely) named David Leonard Wood. He was a neighbor. He lived in a house across from mine. He was kind of slimmy, but I didn't really think much of it. I figured he was some sort of stoner or something akin. How wrong I was! He killed 6 girls and is linked to 3 more. He is and was a sickness. I have thought of him much over the years. Amazed that I had lived in such close proximity to a killer. I could have been one of the girls whose body was tossed into the dirt of the El Paso desert and buried like I meant nothing.
Yesterday, I was reading Ugly Shyla's blog about the local serial killer. I told her of Wood. I then searched for some info to send her way. What I came upon was this:
It is so strange that I would go looking for info only to discover this. I think I was supposed to find this to then know he was "taken" care of. He cannot hurt anyone anymore. Justice came way too late. 22 years since 1987 when the killing happened. 17 years since he was convicted on all counts. That is older than some of the girls had lived when he snuffed out their lives. Justice? What kind of justice is that?
I wish it was ol' Sparky, and I could see the lights dim all the way in central Texas.
He got another stay of execution for the very thing he got the last stay for. I think they doctors would have been able to determine his mental state by now!!
