Desert Words

So, I found this old online quiz. It’s been a while since I’ve taken one of these, and I think the last one I took was “What Lord of the Rings race would you be?”, and I turned out to have the most in common with the Rohirrim, which actually wasn’t a surprise either.
Anyway, [...]

Since it’s time to move again, it’s time to cull the shelves and storage spaces.
So far, I have a handful of books, cds, and laserdiscs listed for sale at Half.com, and more will be added to the inventory over the next few weeks.
The best way to check the ever-changing inventory is from the link to [...]

The final edits for my essay, “The Machinery of Love”, have been accepted for BenBella Books’ upcoming Battlestar Galactica Smart Pop collection, So Say We All: Collected Thoughts and Opinions on Battlestar Galactica.

It wasn’t as bad this year as the previous two… this year I was [...]

First, I managed to score 2 tix to tonight’s screening of Serenity for 2 more Dragon Page contributors.
Then, I found out that I could get a ticket, but that I’d have to make some creative scheduling arrangements in order to get there on time, since I was supposed to be in class from 6-10pm, and [...]

Well, there are some happy hockey fans in a few places.
The Philadelphia Phantoms won the Calder Cup, the AHL Championship this past week, and the Trenton Titans won the ECHL Championship a couple weeks ago.
Both teams are affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers, so assuming we ever see NHL play again, Philly might have a pretty [...]

I followed through on my plan to get myself a new Rubik’s cube. I drove by a Toys ‘R Us on the way to the studio to record some segments for some upcoming Dragon Page “Cover to Cover” and “Wingin’ It” shows, and stopped in for a quick moment.
It’s funny, as big as [...]
