Boycotting Ender’s Game

Boycotting Ender’s Game Ever since I heard that Ender’s Game was to become a movie, I knew that I would never see it. At least, not in such a way that I would spend dollars to watch it. I have already read the book, and I have a few other books by Orson Scott Card. This […]

REVIEW – Southern Gods

Light spoilers in this review. Deal with it. The Lovecraft Mythos has ground itself deeply into our modern fairy tales and horror stories. Sometimes it’s subtle and not directly mentioned. But some modern stories have Lovecraft as the centerpiece. Southern Gods by John Hornor Jacobs does the latter. The story takes place in the early […]

More than just Four

Hey all, I talked about the importance of the Fourth Amendment yesterday (and my concern with what our government has been doing). But I’m going to dedicate this whole post to the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution. I’m taking this directly from the government archives website. When was the last time […]

Significance of the Fourth

The Fourth Amendment, that is. It’s the amendement in the US Constitution (it’s been there since the very beginning) that guarantees a citizen’s right to privacy and unreasonable searches. The US Government has been unlawfully spying on all of its citizens. We need to make the government aware that this is not acceptable. There are […]

Meh of Steel

About a week and a half ago, I watched Man of Steel with some friends. I went into it thinking that a Superman movie would be difficult to pull off, or at least impress me. Never been a huge fan of Superman, since we’re talking about a nearly immortal god-like being. What kind of conflict would […]

My sense of taste is on Gliese 581

I am, of course, referring to the spectral type M3V red dwarf star approximately 22 light-years away. Why do I say this? Because I’m becoming acquainted with – and starting to appreciate – parcels of entertainment that were hammered out around that time period, about 22-ish years ago. I’ve been a fan of Led Zeppelin […]

Exhaustion and Frustration

Sorry. Nothing new today. I’ve got stuff to deal with that I’d rather not.

Long Day

I’ve got a long day coming up where I get to drive the long drive back home. I’m going to miss all of my friends who hung out with me at the amazing SoDak Con. Our paths will cross again. Be prepared for it. Even though I’ll miss my friends, I’m so very glad […]

Aftermath of the Con

Over the weekend, I got to go to a convention in Rapid City, South Dakota called SoDak Con. It was great to see friends that I either haven’t seen in a while, or have never met in person before. I was touted as an ‘Industry Guest’ and I had two panels during the con. Did […]

CONNNN!

This morning (Thursday), I’m heading out to my favorite stomping grounds (in fact, the place I consider to be ‘home’). I have some good friends who have organized SoDak Con. It’s an anime convention, but over the years it has evolved into the premier gathering of nerdy goodness in South Dakota and the surrounding region. […]
