new years photocollagedrunkfest GO!

Yes, I am aware that I should post about the best movies of 2007 for me. Here they are in short order: Superbad, Charlie Wilson’s War, The Mist, and that’s all for now…I’m drawing a blank and I can only consider the reason for that being there were quite a number of movies that left [...]

best of 2007: Books Part 2

I wanted to take a second and continue my book post and note that my good friend going back seven years TJB gave me his first novel Chimera, to read last night. He’s going to put some finishing touches on the thing and put the final version up for sale on Lulu.com.

Last year it was about how we have inaccurate motivations for helping cultures overseas raise to another lifestyle, without actually doing any research into that culture.

I’m off to Potter-Land.

Happy 4th of July [Cont'd].

One of my favorite things to do is go and work on stuff in public places and people watch. In this instance, the still poorly laid out Starbucks in my hometown of Lake Placid, NY, and reading TJB’s novella, Rehabilitation.
Half way through the work I’ve found that it’s finally picking up, and I simply [...]
