No spoilers here, promise! Based on an explosion of search phrase hits to my website in the past hour, I have a fairly good idea of how “The Stolen Earth,” the penultimate episode of Doctor Who‘s fourth season, ended. (Being in the United States, I won’t have seen it just yet.) Who’d have thought thatContinue reading “On “The Stolen Earth” and Search Phrases”
On Saturday Morning Blahs
I hate the heat. It was hot last night. Very hot. Stuffy. Stifling. I couldn’t get comfortable in bed. I tossed. I turned. I woke dehydrated. My mouth felt gummy and gross. It’s Saturday morning. I feel “blah.” My mind, already mush, became, if possible, even more mushy. I wrote 30,000 words this week. Thirty.Continue reading “On Saturday Morning Blahs”
On Discovering a New Band
I have odd listening habits. Take, for instance, the BBC’s Scotland Introducing podcast, which plays music from unsigned Scottish bands. I’m not sure how I found this podcast, but it’s the kind of thing I’d be interested in. Scottish bands like Travis are just really my kind of thing. On the latest episode, Vic GallowayContinue reading “On Discovering a New Band”
On Mental Mush
My brain feels like mush. Headache. Sleepy. Mush. * * * * * Today is Thursday? I don’t pretend to understand. The week’s gone by in a blur. The days have blended together. I blame the mush. * * * * * I picked up a book over the weekend. I knew, before I boughtContinue reading “On Mental Mush”
On an Honor Too Awesome For Words
In San Francisco, they want to memorialize President George W. Bush. But this would be no ordinary memorial. Not a school, or a federal courthouse, or a stretch of interstate highway. This would be a sewage plant. The George W. Bush Sewage Plant: [A] group going by the regal-sounding name of the Presidential Memorial CommissionContinue reading “On an Honor Too Awesome For Words”
On George Carlin
Somewhere, Thomas the Tank Engine bows his head. Mr. Conductor has left the station one last time.
On Comics Musings
I’ve never had any real interest in writing comics. Except for Hawkman. I don’t know what it is about Hawkman, but I just love Hawkman. In particular, I love what Tim Truman, John Ostrander, and Graham Nolan did on Hawkworld in the early 1990s, even though that’s the point where DC Comics took Hawkman continuityContinue reading “On Comics Musings”
On Life Annoyances
I have a poison ivy rash on my wrist. It itches. Oh, does it itch. It itches bad. It itches so bad. Is that grammatically correct? I think not… Itch! I hate itch. Blech.
On Viva La Vida
Coldplay’s fourth studio album, Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends, came out on Tuesday. It was thanks to either Mojo or Q that I discovered Coldplay. Probably through a concert review, and whatever was said was intriguing enough that I imported The Blue Room from the UK. So, after Parachutes and “Yellow,”Continue reading “On Viva La Vida”
