October 29, 2009 3I was going to sit here and blog about death and how Halloween takes death and turns it into something we fear or something that we joke about. I was going to go off on a rant about how horror movies are bad mkay, and that we are trained by society to fear death.
Then I [...]
I just discovered the magic of Wordpress.org! So now, I’m testing out designs for my blog, and really strongly thinking about ditching WordPress.com, simply because I have so much more control here than I do with them. So, don’t mind the mess…I’ll clean it up soon enough.
I’ve been watching the Firefly series over the course of the weekend, taking advantage of some much needed R&R. If you’ve watched the show, you know that for the most part, the heros in the story are a sort of anti-hero. It has a western outlaw sort of feel to it, and the boundaries between [...]

October 12, 2009 4Before you go getting on my case, I’m not criticizing the President. Hell, I’m not even mad at him for getting the Nobel Prize on Friday. I’m more upset at the fact that the Nobel Committee decided to give him the Prize based on presumed accomplishment, whereas so many others worked hard and could show [...]

So a guy who makes all kinds of great movies has apparently been arrested for a sex offense he committed 32 years ago.
