Lost It’s going to be a very, very long summer.
As expected, Lost did a great job of wrapping up a bunch of questions (although not all of those I wanted to see answered before they ended the season) while dumping a bunch of new ones on us. Some of it was pretty close to […]

My love of bacon is known far and wide.
My own daughter periodically tries to test me and my assertion that everything is better with bacon by asking if I would eat this or that if it were wrapped in bacon. To date, she’s not found a foodstuff I’d refuse to try if it were […]

So I swung by the house today while running lunchtime errands. It’s nice to be able to do that, grab anything I might not have realized I needed when I left in the morning, maybe a bite to eat. And, of course, check on the animals, make sure they’ve got plenty of water […]

My daughter and I like to play Rockband from time to time. She’s easily better than I am at the vocals, and growing ever more confident about singing new songs. Today she let me shoot some video of her singing and dancing to some of her favorites:

This amused me greatly.
Dustin told me tonight about his little grrl playing with her pirate playset on Sunday. Apparently she has decided that the treasure chest is a telephone. On Sunday, she picked it up, put it to her ear, and said “Hello?” She immediately followed up with “Hi, Hairyman!” (her name […]

This needs no explanation.  I am posting it on my door.

In the words of Dustin: “That’s just not any bad man, son. That there is Joseph Stalin, and he’s pile-driving your pet shark.”

What would be your first thought if you had 5 million LEGO® bricks, a leather jacket, and a fedora?
Yeah, me too. Use the LEGO® to build a giant boulder, then dress as Indiana Jones and recreate the escape from the temple scene at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. That’s pretty […]

Lost continues to make me happy.
Tonight, of course, was the first part of the season finale, with parts two and three airing back to back as a two-hour episode in two weeks. So there was a lot of build up tonight, and a lot of threads were drawn together to be tied off at […]

“When the power fails … chaos reigns.”
J.C. Hutchins just released the promo for what sounds like an absolutely fantastic project. He invited a number of great storytellers, the “biggest names in podcasting,” to join him in bringing us tales of what happened during the blackout seen in the 7th Son trilogy. It promises […]

My feelings toward filmmaker Uwe Boll have never been a secret. His films are so execrable that I based an entire film rating scale around them*. I understand how he is able to keep making the movies and destroying everyone’s fond memories of the video games he touches, and it drives me nuts […]
