Not feeling particularly profound today, but I thought since I was getting back into the routine everywhere else, I might as well do it here by posting something. The routine was disrupted last week, as I was off for a week. I needed some time, and some things needed done. Didn’t get quite as much […]

♦ Slacktivist hits another one out of the park, this time on the subject of hate and it’s means of propogation. ♦ Most of the discussion surrounding the recent rumors about Marvel making a Black Panther movie revolves around casting, which makes sense (and I’m okay with pretty much any of the names floating about). […]

Witness: The trailer to the 2012 movie verion of the musical Les Miserables: I must say, this looks right, and sounds pretty good, thankfully. The cast is theoretically very good, and the fact that director Tom Hooper, I’ve read, insisted that the whole thing be done with live vocals rather than lip synching to studio […]

So, this past weekend was Balticon. I was there. In dramatic contrast to the last 48 hours or so, I mostly had a pretty good time, basking in the communal glow of geekdom (or not…the communal “glow” can occasionally be described as more of a “funk” or “stench”, and is not particularly pleasant to bask […]

If you’re reading this post within a week or two of my posting it, you’ll be able to look over to the left side of the window and see that Netflix brought a copy of the “family” film Ramona and Beezus to my house. It’s a rather pedestrian adaptation of a couple of Judy Blume […]

One’s perception makes a world of difference: I’m rather loving this whole “Coulson is badass” meme…

Around 3:30pm yesterday, I started putting together some disparate facts. I didn’t have to work on Friday. After a bit of checking around, I found that there were plenty of seats available for the midnight screenings of The Avengers in town. I wrestled with the implications of these facts on my afternoon bike ride (fifteen […]

Just gonna leave this here: On a more serious note regarding someone’s idea of manliness, it must be terrifying to live life in such mortal fear of anything considered ‘different’. Seriously.

Not a hell of a lot going on ’round these parts. Was a mostly rainy, quiet weekend, with the wife and one third of the kids out of town. I spent a good portion of the last 72 hours hauling the other two-thirds to various activities, usually involving their proper education in the arts. This […]

You know what, It’s been months since I’ve gotten lazy enough to throw up a collection of random musings and links to things I thought were interesting and/or amusing! Let’s do it! ♦ – The bike commute this week was pretty damned scary. My nerves are a bit frazzled after nearly getting hit four or […]
