In the Water, Under the Sea
My love of zombie movies is well known here, but I haven't said much of my love for the far more esoteric genre of sea monster movies. Sharks, sea serpents, kraken, whatever. I love them. Over the past two days I have seen Piranha, Piranha 2: The Spawning and Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy. The piranha movies deal with mutated piranha. In the first movie ( Read more... ) -
Library Greatness
Today I was at the library killing some time. As I was browsing the movies I saw that they had the legendary 1978 Mark Hamill vehicle Corvette Summer on both DVD and VHS. Amazingly, neither was checked out.

Post o' the Day: Other Things I've Written
As I mentioned a few days back, I had another Topless Robot piece. It went up yesterday (ironically, the first day I haven't checked in the two weeks since I sold it) and it is about real-life ideas more insane than the pulpiest science fiction. If you click on it and read it and maybe comment or submit it to a vote-up type site, it helps me and a ( Read more... ) -
Just Checking In
November is heading toward being over already. How does this happen? Where does the time go? I've been keeping fairly busy, but not busy enough. I've been doing the usual slate of stuff for Westword. This past week has been one of those intermittently busy ones. I got a couple extra assignments, which will be some extra $$$ in a short while. I ( Read more... ) -
Marriage is as Marriage Does
Marriage is marriage
Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you're in a non-same-sex marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.
I don't usually do these "do x if you believe y" things, but the bottom line is marriage is threatened less than ZERO by gays wanting to marry. Frankly, ( Read more... ) -
October Already?
So, it's October. How did that happen? Things are good, if busy and stressful. Trying to work more, with intermittent success. Trying to break into new markets, with intermittent success. I should have more to report on that topic soon -- stay tuned! I also have some zombie movie reviews coming, I just need to find the time to watch one more movie ( Read more... ) -
Is This Arena Ball?
After this weekend, I am beginning to think the NFL is turning into the damn Arena league -- or at least to the old AFL-style of football. Those scores are jus ridiculous. WTF ever happened to defense? Please, please Rules Committee, make a few changes this offseason to give defenses a chance and make a defensive team/outlook viable again. Please ( Read more... ) -
I FUCKING LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!!!
Forgive the excitement. Part of it is genuine, but mostly it is just a reference to a 'Net meme I'm particularly fond of lately.
So, football season is in full swing! I'm fully engaged in football fanaticism after an exciting opening weekend. As usual, everyone's preseason predictions are already beginning to fall apart. I guess that's why they play ( Read more... ) -
On My Way to Zombie Fame and Fortune
If you Google "zombie movies," guess what shows up on the first page? My Westword post about my thirty-day zombie movie fest. It's at the number ten (i.e. last on page) position, but that's the first time I have ever made a Google page-one search results page for a search anyone was likely to do (i.e., not my name). I feel awesome.
