Seriously, bikers (Cyclists? Whatever, the non-motorcycle riding type.) are not that great. They are not saving the world. Not very much at least. Hey, maybe it actually is better to drive? Or maybe not, who knows. All I know is the general populace of Portland (or the ones who [...]

I just finished reading the follow-ups to Master of the Five Magics, which I mentioned previously. Sixth, I had read before – but I remembered basically nothing of it. I was amazed reading it how little I remembered, and how nothing came back. There was a scene near the [...]

Lately it’s Big Red + generic flavor Bubble Tape. Before that it was bubble-yum + fake-sugarified Orbitz.
When the flavor from the first has just about faded, I throw in the second, for a mouthful of return.
It helps if gum #1 is a great bubble blowing gum, and gum #2 is a long lasting and/or strong [...]

You know one thing I really hate about Windows?
When you’re doing a giant file copy, and there are several files mixed in that have attributes that set off the “are you sure you want to copy this?” pop-up. And you hit “Yes to all” that first time, assuming it will be the only time [...]

OK.
This is just plain bizarre. Dig around through some of the links (it will help if you speak Spanish…).
I can’t think of anything like this happening in my life/memory that wasn’t based on sexuality or race. I know that particular groups have in the past attacked other groups (punks vs. skinheads, mostly punks vs. somebody), [...]

X-Men Legacy 209
I like this series.
And I like Mike Carey, so I like the series even more.
I’m not a big Prof. X fan, so that means Carey is doing a decent job.
I don’t know where it’s going – it must have an ending point right? Having the Prof just ramble through history forever would [...]

Seriously, what the hell is up with these? Don’t they hurt? They look like they hurt. No matter how much you want, you can’t have girl hips. I’m sorry – live with it.
I’m sure it’s all part of the whole androgyny rebellion thing, but it annoys me.
I mean, in general [...]

Another book saved from the locked vault of memory by a bulk book emailing from my dad, and a great one at that.
This is not a master’s fantasy like those of Jordan or Martin, or even an advanced fantasy like Saberhagen’s later work, but it is still excellent fantasy.
You know how I know [...]

I’ve had crazy dreams the last two nights, partially because I’m sick I’m sure, but I’m thinking the Sudafed must have helped, because I’ve had that in particular on those two nights.
So last night, the first one starts off with me being a “big brother” type to this South American kid without a dad who’s [...]

Man, I am just not enjoying these as much as I hoped. Honestly, I can’t remember if I liked them the first time through or not, but I do remember that I thought (and still do) that the whole idea of psychohistory is pretty neat.
Unfortunately the execution has been un-exciting so far. [...]
