I know, it's boring. Time for one of my monologueish rants about stuff you already know. But I think it's important.

As an aspiring writer, I have a stake in this little legal war. A very real one. And, you know what? Both extremes are wrong, though I've never felt so strongly about that until yesterday evening.

Back again for more reviews. Not done with Star Trek and I’ll have some more of those to come, but first some regular reviews and a break from the Enterprise.

This time round I have something extra special. A treat if you will. I had, not very long ago, the unique opportunity to see Miyazaki’s new film, Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea - which will ( Read more... )

Back again.

In anticipation of the new Star Trek film by J.J. Abrams I’m going to be doing my first multipart Desk from the Past feature - a reexamination of all the previous Star Trek films, which I’m rewatching over the rest of March and all of April as a prelude ( Read more... )

Those of you who were watching this blog last year (or know me previously) probably realize this isn't a joke. April Fools' Day or not today's my birthday.

Happy birthday to me.

Strange being 20. Not so long ago the tweens seemed like a faraway and very alien place - a time and location beyond the ken of mere mortals such as myself. Guess not.

Okay, I had to do something melodramatic there. It's just my way. Granted, my spring vacation wasn't a whole bucketload of fun.

Now if you're actually curious as to what I did and what I mean, read on.

All right, well, again I am here to review. Initially, I was only going do two reviews as usual, but after seeing Watchmen last night I feel obliged to write a review for it as well. So for the tenth installment of my At the Desk reviews I’ll be looking at Gears of War 2, (new) Doctor Who Season 1, and Watchmen for a total of three ( Read more... )

I’m back. All in all, Spring semester looks like it might be my best yet since all the classes are pretty much something I'm passionate about (well, okay, I'm not that passionate about the Caribbean, but I like comparative religion). So all in all, things look pretty damn good ( Read more... )

I'm actually surprised that I haven't seen anyone post on this considering that virtually everyone I know up here is a BioWare fan in some way or another. But hey, it's late February. I know how it is this time of year.

I'm going to be brief here, in large part because there isn't much to say. We've known for quite a while that Mass Effect 2 was ( Read more... )

This is not a full review. I save those until I've seen the entire season in question. However, for those interested, here are my first impressions of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's new show ( Read more... )

Well, here's the moment of truth. I never, ever thought I was going to do this. No - really. Sure, I had a mySpace account (and still do, which I'll continue to keep a few tabs on), but after expanding to livejournal I didn't think I really needed another account.

Until I realized something. Only writers or, at the very least, would-be writers use ( Read more... )
