The Week that Stole a Year

May 17, 2012 Personal

It’s amazing how quickly my life shifted from the break-neck pace of “figure out what the hell is wrong with me” to the post diagnosis frantic rush of “kill it with fire.” On the heels of a both a bone marrow and lymph node biopsy I was now going to have a port implanted into [...]

One Year of Movies: The 100th Film

April 20, 2012 Movies

On April 17th, 2012 I saw my 100th film of the year. It was a flick from the early 90′s called Blink which starred Madeleine Stowe and Aidan Quinn. To be honest, this was not what I had in mind for my 100th film. For a milestone of this caliber I was searching for a [...]

The Last Words I Ever Thought I Would Hear

March 21, 2012 Personal

2012 began for me in the same way I believe it began for most people; with the hope that it would be better than the year before and the nagging suspicion that it probably wouldn’t. My own suspicion was confirmed far earlier than I would have liked it. In the height of my New Year’s [...]

One Year of Movies: February’s Results

March 10, 2012 Movies

Even though February was the shortest month I found myself watching more movies than in January (if only by one). Perhaps it was the sleepless nights? Nothing like insomnia to give you more hours in the day. I was also feeling a bit nostalgic this month, so I dusted off some my favorite films like [...]

One Year of Movies: January’s Results

February 13, 2012 Movies

When 2012 started I decided on a little experiment where I would keep track of every film I’d see that year. This post is a summation of my first month of the experiment. The format may change here and there as I figure out the best way to present this info, but suggestions are HIGHLY [...]

Why I Bought a Kindle Touch 3G

January 5, 2012 Personal

I was a voracious reader as a child and even through middle school until high school (aka sex & alcohol) took over my lizard brain. As an adult I found movies to be a great story substitute and my reading habits almost disappeared entirely. The writer in me struggled during these dry periods without any [...]

New Year Movie Experiment

December 28, 2011 Movies

I’m a movie nut in all conceivable ways. If allowed, I would spend thousands of dollars to build up my DVD collection, in a single purchase… every couple of months. One of the few topics I still speak passionately about is film and my knowledge of it is more encyclopedic than my knowledge of Information [...]

Feast: How to Screw with Conventions

November 7, 2011 Horror

A group of strangers banding together to fight a relentless evil is nothing new in the horror genre. There have been many great movies made in that vein (i.e. From Dusk Till Dawn, Demon Knight, etc.) so I thought it was pretty difficult to inject fresh blood into a worn out story. That’s where a [...]

TRAUMA: Immersive Gameplay and Unique Storytelling

November 1, 2011 Nerd

Point and click adventures have been my favorite computer games ever since I first popped a floppy into a drive. I still vividly remember watching the intro to Maniac Mansion and wondering what this wacky game had in store for me. From that very moment I was hooked. I grabbed a hold of as many [...]

Gabriel vs. the Ghost Peppers

September 20, 2011 Food

Everyone has a mental list of stupid decisions they’ve made over the course of their life. Dating that chick with the psycho ex-boyfriend, lending money to your serially unemployed friend and other assorted bonehead moves. This week I added to my own list of dumb shit I’ve done. For those of you that don’t know [...]

Crafting Comics

April 11, 2011 Blog

I’m a nerd. This should not come as any surprise (it’s in the damn sub-title of my blog), so when I profess my love of comic books no one will be wonder where that declaration came from. I’ve loved comics for as long as I’ve been able to read. Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, you [...]
