The number of films coming out that I'm actually considering paying money to see might be counted on one hand. These are mostly because they are continuations of stories I'm already invested in somehow, or because they seem to be the very odd exceptions to the usual rules of trash Hollywood that somehow slipped through … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Kong Trailer
Weirdness Epic
I think I've mentioned before my fondness for Ross's Game Dungeon, one of the more unique game-review pages on YouTube. Rather than striving for 'relevance' with reviews of the latest triple-A games, Ross tends to aim at more obscure, odd, or interesting games, old or new. It's hugely entertaining for two reasons: one because Ross … Continue reading Weirdness Epic

1. So, we had surprisingly massive influx of views this week to my Quick Word on Disconnecting post. If you're joining us from elsewhere, welcome and I hope you stick around, though don't expect a whole lot of content like that one. I try to minimize my commentary on current events and politics, though I … Continue reading Friday Flotsam
Quotation of the Day
"There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him … Continue reading Quotation of the Day

Short version of our current situation: our civilization rests upon extremely complex, delicate technology that … Continue reading Quick Word on Disconnection
Thought of the Day: Nothing to Fear

1. I have been feeling oddly harried these days as I try to hunt for a better day job and try to prevent too much of my headspace from being occupied by insane nonsense that I can't control. 2. I've disliked the designation 'Conservative' for some time now. In the first place because 'conservative' is … Continue reading Friday Flotsam
Escape to Some Fantastic Schools
Want to take your mind off things? Pick up a volume or two of Fantastic Schools (now both available in paperback: a nice, thick volume to decorate your shelf and that can't be digitally taken away from you). Official Blurb:Have you ever wanted to go to magic school? To cast spells and brew potions and … Continue reading Escape to Some Fantastic Schools
Brief Current Events Thought
I have not been blogging lately in part because I've been simultaneously preoccupied with what is happening in our country and desirous of avoiding exposure to it as much as possible. Even small dips left me so angry as to be nauseous. But through one or two trusted sources (there are only a handful of … Continue reading Brief Current Events Thought
