Welcome back to Fright School! Joe went to Vegas to support Jimmykins' bowling addiction! Joshua remains unconvinced Jimmy is not a serial killer ala DEXTER. Who LOVES to bowl?!?! Make it make sense! On the subject of activities for nerds- Joshua spent the weekend reading with friends. Trixie and Katya of DRAG RACE fame made their way to San Diego! Joe continues his Catholic colonization of the program with THIRST a film that was about as long as the Inquisition and, at least according to Joe, not even HALF as fun! We chat about the intersections of Catholicism, cannibalism, and vampirism. Mmmm... ism.
