On My Day
Yesterday. Got to work at nine. Left work at midnight, fifteen hours later. Today? Probably the same. I’ve started mucking with the body chemistry. Two cups of coffee already, and probably a whole pot once I get to work. At least, I’ll brew a whole pot. I feel like a Mack truck is running lapsContinue reading “On My Day”
On Dan Quayle's Wisdom
“It’s a terrible thing to lose one’s mind,” former Vice President Dan Quayle said famously. I know of whence he speaks. I can feel it go. But all is not lost! At least, I don’t think it is….
On Hitchhiker's
I went to see Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy tonight. I liked it. I liked it a lot. I thought it was fun, if not always funny. Okay, some of the great scenes from the book are missing. No Arthur convincing the foreman to lie down in the mud and take his place while heContinue reading “On Hitchhiker's”
On Doctor Who Videos

The classic Troops I have on DVD. The article’s idea is that with Lucas finishing what he wanted to say in the Star Wars universeContinue reading “On Fan Films”

But when the sun goes down, when the world goes still, in the dark she will wander the house andContinue reading “More Thoughts on the Cats”
On My Republicanism
Seen on Bill Leisner‘s blog, a test to measure your Republican percentage! Let’s take a look, shall we? I am: 7% Republican. “You’re a complete liberal, utterly without a trace of Republicanism. Your strength is as the strength of ten because your heart is pure. (You hope.)” Are You A Republican? I tend to thinkContinue reading “On My Republicanism”
More on H2G2
Yesterday I cited an early review of this week’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Today FilmThreat has a feature on the marketing of Hitchhiker’s. Two quotes stand out, both near the end: Between the unfunny posters, unfunny trailers and unfunny website Disney isn’t doing a very good job of marketing this as a movie. TheContinue reading “More on H2G2”
