Pirate Radio

Apparently one of my new neighbors has an unprotected wireless network (”None of your preferred wireless networks are available. Whould you like to join the wireless network ‘lyinksys’?” — Oh, would I?) and so, in a new house and five days away from a network of my very own (because the Comcast service department sucks), [...]

Nice Line

“Her heart thumped in her chest like a kitten trying to get out of a pillowcase.”
(Heard that tonight on Prairie Home Companion while I was making dinner. I assume Keillor wrote it.)

Brian in Dallas is a Comic Genius

You know, there’s some really great comedy going on out there . . . but it all pretty much sounds the same after a while. And then, every once in a while, I discover someone like this guy — this kind of thing makes me happy. I like comedy that spreads like low-level evil throughout [...]

I’ve been messing about with the layout of the site this weekend, just playing with some new tools I found online.
I was trying to republish things this afternoon and sort through some issues and bugs with the archives when, suddenly, I was looking at an empty root file.
In layman’s terms, this means there wasn’t a [...]

Pan’s Labyrinth

I’ve been hearing bits and pieces about this movie over the past few months. Over at Dark Horizons, they’ve posted some pictures from it that just make me want to see it more.

But it’s the description from the Official Site that clinches it for me…
PAN’S LABYRINTH is a fanciful and chilling story set against the [...]
