The Shattered Prayer

A couple of things I’ve pre-ordered and am waiting for impatiently:
Neal Stephenson has a new book coming out in September. Its called Anathem, and early reviews are very positive, and indicate that there’s a CD of very interesting music with it. Woohoo! Music AND literature. My favorite combination. But […]

I gotta say, Silence in the Library was a kick-ass Dr Who episode. I’ve been waiting for it to air here, ever since it first aired, and was reviewed, in England. It was written by Steven Moffat, who also wrote Blink, and it featured Tubbs Tattsyrup… er… I mean Steve Pemberton. But really… he’ll always […]

I think I saw Miz Wilma today when I took my mother to the doctor to get her eye-patch removed. (She had cataract surgery). Some of you may remember Miz Wilma from the blog-post I wrote about her, though judging from the number of comments on that post, only Bas read it. (Battery […]

As of 7:22am EST, Firefox 3 had over 7 million downloads. The fact that I’m up at 7:22 am to know that is a little unsettling. The fact that I even want to know that is downright disturbing.
I get excited over software. My life has really taken a wrong turn somewhere.
Steff emailed me […]

Knowing the readers of this blog, I’m thinking you haven’t even noticed your lab settings yet. In Gmail, go to your settings. You’ll see a new tab called “Labs”. Click on it to find some experimental features that Gmail has been working on. Some of them are very useful, while some of them… well. Lets […]

The Baptists finally came by to help us clean up the damage done in the yard by the tornady. And yes, it was very nice of them. My nephew and niece were also here, mowing the lawn and helping pick up limbs and what-not.
I, on the other hand, was not doing any of those […]

They both prove I’m gay since I asked about them?
Maybe.
But they really show that I am a comic book geek beyond comic book geeks.
Mojo, A the Girl (yes, our daughter is home from college for a week), and I were watching a show where collectors face off in a test of knowledge and skills […]

I really enjoyed Doctor Who tonight. I am so very glad that Catherine Tate is the new companion. They couldn’t have chosen better.
To be honest, the choice of Catherine Tate could have gone either way. The last time Doctor Who tried to have a “famous” person be the companion, it […]

I did this once before, so I decided to do it again. I thought I’d post the last two comics I bought. There is a theme if you look closely.
Here is the first one.
And here is the second one.
Now, the theme is very subtle, so you probably won’t realize what it is. […]

I’m referring to tonight’s episode of Supernatural, which no one around here watches but me, so why bother discussing it at all?
In the vain hope that some lone Supernatural fan will wander by and dispel my isolation.
My favorite line from tonight, “You know what you’ve gotta do. You’ve got to go be gay […]

The latest release of ScribeFire: For those of you who aren’t using ScribeFire to blog, you should. You really should. The latest release kicks so much ass, it makes me want to start blogging again. So expect posts from me in the near future. They may not say much, but they’ll be posts.
Gingko Biloba: […]

A good night for TV. Sarah Jane, Dr who, and Battlestar Galactica.
Spoiler Alert.
I can’t stand Callie. I was so happy to see that stupid breeder bitch fly out the airlock, I nearly peed myself. Thank fuck we don’t have to hear her whining anymore. Woohoo! Big hug goes out to Tory Foster for […]

I never wrote about Michael’s story on Lost, so here goes. But something far more important is happening tonight. Sarah Jane Smith, erstwhile companion of the third and fourth Doctors (and who has been known to hang out with the tenth) has the U.S. premiere of her show tonight! I for […]

Just a reminder. Battlestar Galactica tonight.

Che has been appreciating the beauty of Smallville’s version of Brainiac (I mean — who wouldn’t appreciate that beauty? Gotta love ol’ Spike.) She therefore right naturally assumed that the comic book version would be just as beautiful.
Well, not quite. Here, then, is a little history of a character who […]
