Hey Lulu

Somebody Needs Therapy

Being way out here on the West Texas frontier fighting Wickidity can get pretty trying for one's sanity. That girl, our Lulu, might just need a little therapy, so here's something to make her feel a little better.

Song For a Lunar Eclipse -Holger Czukay

It's a dark night in West Texas, a threatening shadow passes before the moon. What could it be? We're sure it's a hex or spell, or at least an omen of evil portent. Lock your barn doors, and shutter your mansions. Secure your barbeque pits, because a strange scent lofts abreeze.

A Spell-- With Belly Dance

We've decamped from the mansion for a time to study the art of belly dance in a remote mountain lair. Of course, something wicked has followed us to this pastoral place, but that's to be expected. West Texas can breath easy for a time, but for denizens of that foul locale, it's probably best not to get to comfortable, as she will be back.
