Seriously. It’s creepy. I’m sitting at about 90k words right now, with 4ish chapters left to write – and it’s the climactic battle and fallout – FUN stuff to write. Not that the rest hasn’t been fun, because it has. But still. This is THE. END. I can see that sun rising over the horizon, [...]

We’re not done with the 00′s yet — so we’ll get to that later. Here’s my question — does anyone know of a song a) as good as No Surrender, sonically, lyrically and thematically (within the quality boundaries of the decade) with b) a title direct, yet powerful enough that one wouldn’t necessarily be embarrassed [...]

Contrary to what Rolling Stone says, at least. IMHO. YMMV. vs. Here’s a couple, completely subjective, ways in which I know this. I’ve only made it through 21st Century in its entirety like once. The rest in pieces. And, tellingly, I never have any particular urge to finish it once I start. Idiot on the [...]

Caveat: I enjoyed the movie, toxicly, dangerously, stupidly, rotundly horrid as the script was. How? Because people punched each other. With super powers. So, let’s get this out of the way – this is one of the worst scripts I can remember seeing visualized: scenes make no sense in connections to other scenes, characters [...]

Seriously. 1/13 chance of winning (although another site said 1% for some reason), NO SKILL INVOLVED. Entirely luck and chance – which is fine for silly things like flipping a coin, but playing a round of this game (even on my phone, where viciously taunts me) takes a good few minutes (more if you were [...]

So glad they spelled motherfucking R O G U E correctly ;). New site is barely up here. Not much info yet, but it looks like it will include access to opposing side content, and at least 2 new powersets (dual pistols & demon summoning (?)). I’m really curious how much of this second world [...]

(Yes I’m lazy and just grabbed Amazon images). My small pile currently consists of: Every damned writing blog I read mentioned this so I figured WTF. This sat on my Amazon maybe/wtf list for so long that I felt bad and shelled out basically the cost of shipping for it. I’m not expecting much. Impulse [...]

Just looping in this order, and I haven’t gotten bored yet. But still, I think it’s time to swap them.

Is this volume 3 or volume 4? I forget. Anyway, they’re back! Yes, it is true – Marvel seems to be at an all-time high for # of x-books again. The bloat is so bad I’m actually NOT buying as many as I am buying… I think. Somewhere in there. Anyway, so, was this any [...]

I’m sure this is probably a meme…how can it not be right? But it came to me on my way to lunch today, so I’m going to roll with it and pretend I made it up. So, the task: Songs that trigger an emotional resonance, or strong memory, when you hear them. THEY DO NOT [...]
