Psychic Tiff Suggests

And now, a few thoughts from our friend Tiffany Smith Johnson, psychic and medium, and author of Picture Yourself Developing Your Psychic Abilities. Every so often, Tiffany pops by to share some wisdom, talk about pop-culture and discuss her role in the paranormal community.

Psychic Tiff Suggests:

So I watched Angels & Demons the other night, and based on the title, it seemed right up my psychic alley. But not so much. I didn't feel it. I kinda get the "Angels" thing, but the "Demons"? That part was severely lacking.

John Zaffis would have been like, "WTF?"

Meanwhile, I LOVED G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Frankly, if it's a comic-turned-movie, I'm in. X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade: You name it, I'm there.

Tiffany will be appearing next for a group gallery reading on Saturday, Jan. 30 at the Wingate Hotel in Fargo, ND, at 7 p.m. Purchase tickets for $40 at http://www.wix.com/cocovinna/laska. Tiffany will also be conducting a group gallery reading at the Gulf Coast Para Con on Feb. 26-28 in Fairhope, AL. Get tickets at the Para Con Web site.

Zombie Reagan raised from grave to lead GOP

In a move to desperately find their next Reagan-esque leader, the Republican party decided to simply re-animate their last Reagan-esque leader, the formerly alive 40th president, Ronald Reagan.  It took a lot of brains to figure out how to do it, and those brains will likely be rewarded by some gumming from the Gipper.

It's dawn (of the dead) in America again, and under the re-leadership of Zombie President Reagan, our country is prouder and stronger ... and hungrier.

Here's the report from the Onion News Network:


Zombie Reagan Raised From Grave To Lead GOP

Kristyn Gartland TAPS into the power of 'Ghost Hunters,' reality TV

It's best to let Kristyn Gartland speak for herself. The TAPS case manager, occasional Ghost Hunters co-star and co-founder of Anomalie Paranormal is the kind of person whose opinion is best when unleashed and unedited.

The Contrarian's Chris Parizo recognizes this and lets Gartland do the talking in a Q&A about life before and after the show hit big. She also discusses her take on the world of TAPS, and about how fame and editing can affect one's perspective of the world.

It's an enlightening piece with an honest voice of one of paranormal pop culture's funniest, most forthcoming figures.

'Twilight' parody excerpt: Harvard Lampoon's 'Nightlight' knocks 'em undead

As New Moon continues to pull in the cash with a specially-made money rake, now seemed like as good as any to run a short excerpt from Nightlight, the excellent Harvard Lampoon parody of the tween vamp saga.  The language is so eerily similar to the source material that I half-expect Stephenie Meyer wrote the spoof herself just to squeeze every possible ounce of blood out of the franchise.

Enjoy:

Bite to the future? New 'Daybreakers' trailer hits

Vampire scientists in the not-too-distant future face a diminishing blood supply from near-extinct humans. One researcher wants to save his blood-sucking race and the humans, while an evil corporation wants to farm what's left of their natural resources.

Who will win? How will humans fare? Will the future have a fluorescent glow and have human blood banks filled with Matrix-esque harvesting pods? Find out on Jan. 8 when Daybreakers hits.

Personally, I'm looking forward to it. Sure, a science fiction vampire flick with an environmental conservation message does sound hokey.  Then again, it's better than sparkling, fey vamps, right? And if the trailer below is any indication, we can expect a lot of bloody vampire action. Plus, even if the plot sucks (word play!), we can expect some scenery chewing from Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill and Ethan Hawke.
