So, I had this weird dream where David Cassidy is strutting across a stage, fronting for Led Zeppelin while they are jamming The Lemon Song. Weirder still is that David is doing one of his stock moves from a Partridge Family performance, and the whole thing seems to fit. I have come to understand that [...]

Today, I went to my friend Chris’s blog site to get caught up on his postings and lo and behold I found that his site had been rated using the movie industry rating system. Being amused and somewhat jealous that he had received an official rating I decided to go to the website that gave [...]

A couple of days ago I was watching the TV show “Supernatural” and a particular aspect of the problematic nature of the occult became clear to me. In this episode John, the father of the two main characters, Dean and Sam, was enacting a ritual to summon a demon so that he could strike a [...]

I am currently taking a class on Creative Non-Fiction, a class designed to expose MFA students to various kinds of works within this genre, so that they may identify and analyze the various techniques that authors use in crafting their works. One of the authors that I had the good fortune of reading is David [...]

As the game goes, below are two truths and a lie. Can you tell which one is which? Chris, you can’t respond as I believe you know all my stories.

“Starbuck’s a woman!?! You’ve got to be kidding!” That was my repsonse a couple of years ago when I first heard about the remake of Battlestar Galactica, and though I was disappointed that one of my childhood icons was lost through a change in gender, my interest in the program was only mildly affected.
