this was … the most unexpected thing …. the gay ass walk out of his car … fruity flick of his wrist to turn his car off …. jumpin up thoze stairs ……… weakest push imaginable …….. watching him TUMBLE
TV: Stuck on “The Sportsball Channel,” much to Bird and Lt Buddy’s dismay. I’m stoked. 🏈
Today’s calls: There’s a switch somewhere that turns everything from “normal” to “weird” and someone must have flipped it to “weird.” I’m using stuff that I haven’t seen since training. The LAST time I dispatched ambulances (2006).
For now, I’m chillin on the rooftop patio of the backup center:
It’s freeze your ass off cold in there and hot out here, so I’m basking in the sun like a damn lizard.

For better or worse (almost always downright wrong) Louisiana Voodoo and Hoodoo are likely to come up in any depiction of the state of Louisiana. I’ve created a list of works on contemporary and historical Voodoo/Hoodoo for anyone who’d like to learn more about what this tradition is and is not (hint: it developed separately from Haitian Vodou which is its own thing) or would like to depict it in a non-stereotypical way. I’ve listed them in chronological order. Please keep a few things in mind. Almost all sources presented unfortunately have their biases. As ethnographies Hurston’s work no longer represent best practices in Anthropology and has been suspected of embellishment and sensationalism on this topic. Additionally the portrayal is of the religion as it was nearly 100 years ago- all traditions change over time. Likewise Teish is extremely valuable for providing an inside view into the practice but certain views, as on Ancient Egypt, may be offensive now. I have chosen to include the non-academic works by Alvarado and Filan for the research on historical Voodoo they did with regards to the Federal Writer’s Project that is not readily accessible, HOWEVER, this is NOT a guide to teach you to practice this closed tradition, and again some of the opinions are suspect- DO NOT use sage, which is part of Native practice and destroys local environments. I do not support every view expressed but think even when wrong these sources present something to be learned about the way we treat culture
*Start with Osbey, the shortest of the works. To compare Louisiana Voodoo with other traditions see the chapter on Haitian Vodou in Creole Religions of the Caribbean by Olmos and Paravinsi-Gebert. Additionally many songs and chants were originally in Louisiana Creole (different from the Louisiana French dialect), which is now severely endangered. You can study the language in Ti Liv Kreyol by Guillery-Chatman et. Al.

Hello, hello! I bit off more than I could chew trying to get this done by today. But! Here is the first part. They'll be shorter than my usual because it fits the story better.
The title comes from Voodoo by Godsmack, of which was used as the credit song in the first season of the series.
Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moonlight
Why my thoughts aren't so clear?
The story takes place in a universe where the show continued past the two seasons it was given and is set in 2006. It is also set where the events of the first four seasons happened to other people, but their lives mirror the lives of the people in 1986.
Summary: In the fifth season of the landmark MTV series Fear, they take five college age adults and drop them into the ghost town that is now Hawkins, IN. After the earthquake in 1986 the town was evacuated due to a leak at the now defunct Hawkins Lab.
Steve, Eddie, Robin, Nancy, and Jonathan must now complete tasks or dares over the next two nights, tapping out before completing the task forfeits your chance at $5000. All five will be tested to their limits, but will any of them come out of the experience unchanged?

Steve heard rustling around him as he was sat down on a very dusty sofa. He coughed a bit, but it wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be.
They had been told that they had to wait until the grandfather clock chimed the hour before they were allowed to remove their blindfolds.
The rustling continued, but in a restless way instead of a simple being moved around way.
The grandfather clock chimed four o’clock in the hallway and Steve pulled off his blindfold.
He was in a large front room that had faded blue carpeting and matching sofas and arm chairs. In front of him was table that had a bunch of equipment and a velvet covered board that had five colored bands. Behind the table was a weird tower that had a screen on it.
Around him were two boys and two girls. The first of the girls had choppy blonde hair and bright blue eyes that sparkled with a mischief that had Steve fighting back a smile. Her style was what his mother called Bohemian. Which he always thought was the polite way of saying eclectic. She had rings and necklaces and bangles everywhere to match her clothes.
The second of the girls also had blue eyes, but short dark curly hair instead of blonde. She wore black slacks and a plain white button down, the sleeves went to her elbow and it was buttoned all the way to her neck. Peaking out of the collar was a simple heart pendant that fell right below the second button.
Steve could feel his cheeks flush when she noticed him looking at her. He turned his attention to the boys. The first one was a quiet boy with light hair and dark brown eyes. He wore jeans and t-shirt with a simple chain around his neck.
He contrasted hard with the remaining boy. He had big brown eyes and long, dark, curly hair. The leather jacket and ripped jeans only completed the look of the many chains and necklaces he was wearing. His hands fiddled nervously with the many rings on his fingers. His Cupid bow lips were set in a firm line, framed by dimples that where there even when he wasn’t smiling.
Steve forced himself to look away.
“Welcome, everyone,” came the robotic male voice that sounded vaguely British. The screen in front of them lit up and the words appeared on the screen as they were being spoken.
“You will each be assigned a random color,” the voice continued. “That color will be randomly chosen to do dares. You will be outfitted with personal cameras that will record you when you are out doing dares. You will be given a dare and time to do it in. If you fail to do the dare in the time limit or you become too frightened and wish to tap out, you will out of the game.”
They all looked at each other nervously.
“You each have the opportunity to win $5000,” the voice said. “This isn’t a ‘the less people you have the more money you get’ situation. If all of you tap out, a new team will be brought in to finish the dares.”
They all nodded.
“You will eat or sleep only during the day,” the voice continued. “Because all dares will be done at night.”
There was some murmuring about that, but Steve stayed silent. That’s what he figured it would be like.
“Because you arrived late in the evening, you will get one day to get to know each other and get set up for the dares.”
Steve breathed out a sigh of relief on that one. That would definitely make this easier. He wasn’t the only one that thought so as there were a couple others that nodded at that too.
“I will call you’re name,” the voice said, “and assign your color. Remember this random and no exchanging colors.”
There below the TV with talking voice were five armbands of different colors.
“Nancy your color is red.”
The dark-haired girl stood up and took the red band. She walked back to her seat and sat down, all without a word.
“Jonathan, your color is green.”
Jonathan cocked his head with a half shrug. He grabbed the green band and sat down on the arm of the sofa Steve was sitting on instead of going back to the chair they had put them in.
“Robin, your color is purple.”
“Could be worse,” she muttered as she got up to grab her band. “It could be pink.”
Steve grinned. He liked her already. Even Nancy hid her smile behind her hand.
“Eddie your color is black.”
The last remaining of Steve’s companions jumped up, pumping the air. “Score!” He skipped over to it and smirked at the last color on the table.
He made his way back to his chair, his knee starting to bounce almost instantly.
“Steve your color is yellow.”
Steve rolled his eyes. “Like there was any other color left.” But he dutifully grabbed the remaining band.
“Tomorrow at sunset, you will don the gear in front of you and be assigned dares,” the voice said. “Until then rest, relax get to know each other. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as fully stocked kitchen. This is the only place that will have electricity and will be considered your safe house.”
“When will we find out where we are?” Nancy asked.
“Tomorrow morning. Until then everyone, get some rest. You’ll need it.”
And then computer turned off.
Robin stretched and yawned. “Fuck, I’m tired. I could sleep for days!”
Steve shook his head. “I’m going to stay up and sleep after they tell us where we are, so my body could adjust to the schedule of sleeping during the day and being awake at night.”
The rest of the group stared at him in shock.
“And how would you know that, pretty boy?” Eddie asked with a little sneer.
Steve sighed. He was about to lose the chance getting along with at least half of them with his next words. “My parents would take me with them on business trips and that how you avoid getting jetlag.”
“So are you rich?” Robin asked.
Steve shrugged. “My parents are. Me not so much anymore.”
“They toss you out?” Jonathan asked, kicking the sofa with the heel that was draped over the arm of the sofa.
Steve bit his lip. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
Eddie ran his tongue over his teeth and narrowed his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but Nancy spoke first.
“He’s right about the jetlag thing though,” she said. “I travel a lot as a journalist and a new schedule can fuck you up good.”
Robin rubbed her chin. “I think that’s kinda the point though.”
They all stared at her like she was crazy.
“Now hear me out,” she said, her hands in the air. “The more tired we are, the more likely we are to get scared at whatever it is they throw at over the next couple of nights.”
“So you’re telling me,” Eddie said slowly, “that if we follow pretty boy’s plan, we can last longer in the scares?”
Robin nodded.
“I’m down,” Jonathan said.
Everyone agreed.
“So what’s the plan with staying awake, then?” Robin asked, turning to Steve.
