Bizenghast Volume Five and Novel
So, I know there are Bizenghast fans who read my journal, so I just wanted to mention that volume five came out a few weeks ago. I shamefully admit that I just got my copy a few days ago, so I haven't given it a thorough going-over.
At first glance, ( Cut for spoilers ) -
Before They Were Stars, They Had to Work Through the 80s
So, not too long ago, some friends and I had a girls' movie night with Dirty Dancing and a cute movie I had never seen before called Shag*. The copy of Dirty Dancing was a little old (as in, from when the movie was released on VHS the first time), so all the previews were ancient, and the commercials managed to encapsulate everything that was ( Read more... ) -
Movie Review: X-Files: I Want to Believe
So, if you are looking for this movie to tie up loose ends from the series, explore the ramifications of the last season, or even deal with them in some sort of coherent way, you’re probably going to want to skip this movie. If you’re still a big fan of The X-Files, I would recommend waiting for this to come out on DVD, renting it, and pretending ( Read more... ) -

The Fantastic Four: Breadbox Edition
So it’s not what you were expecting, and it’s not quite what I was expecting either, but, hey. At least it’s new, right?
(Author’s Note: Fantastic Four does not belong to me, but to Marvel Comics and Twentieth Century Fox. Dr. Evadne's warning: Please remember to take a grain of salt before reading. Do not expose to direct sunlight. May impair ( Read more... ) -
The Federal government in a nutshell
So apparently, the feds decided it was worth their time and effort to send an actual agent to my apartment,* but not to return either of the calls I made requesting they tell me what the hell is going on.
I feel this is typical.
Oh, well. If it was important, I would know by now. I just hope my neighbor isn’t a spy.
*Admittedly, I live just outside ( Read more... ) -
Naturally, I am a bit concerned
So, apparently the Secret Service came to see me at my apartment on Friday.
I was at work, it being, you know, a weekday, but they left me a nice note asking me to contact an agent. I doubt it's that important, as I haven't heard anything since. However, there is this one, petty detail: I cannot think of a single good reason why the Secret ( Read more... ) -
