Subtle Bluntness

I undertook the challenge on a whim, but I finished it out and I’m incredibly proud of myself.  NaBloPoMo, at least for this month, is over.  I’m kind of looking forward to the day where I don’t glance at the clock, mutter curse words under my breath, and then realize that I have to post [...]

For some reason, in both things I did this week for Den of Geek (the weekend box office report, back after a short hiatus, and a review of Zack and Miri Make A Porno), I talk a lot about Kevin Smith as a filmmaker.  Maybe it’s because I talked about Kevin Smith’s new movie, but [...]

I’ve never played Portal, yet I love this song, as I’ve said back before FGF was invented.  I absolutely hate the goofy faces the host guy is making in this video, but Jonathan Coulton is awesome as always.  This is, quite possibly, the happiest, most feel-good song ever sung by a homicidal computer.  HAL 9000 [...]

This would be a longer post, but it’s hard for me to express any feelings without blubbering like a fat guy whose cake dumpster caught fire, so I’m going to try to be as thankful as I can with as few tears as possible.  Don’t get used to it, because I’ve got a backlog of [...]

<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –> I am Turkatron. I have come from the year 9595 to save this bird that lies before you for he is the great, great, great, great grandfather…of Goblox…the turkey that’s destined to lead the rebellion against master chickens. Since I’m [...]

I had a friend of mine who started a nascent music blog a few weeks ago.  He recently tracked me down and asked me a bunch of questions about blogging.  It’s no secret that most of my friends know I get paid to maintain blogs and that I’ve gotten a couple of freelance articles published.  [...]

I have a question for my fellow NaBloPoMofos out there.   Since you started posting daily, have you noticed a sharp uptick in traffic for your blog?  I certainly have.  Whether it’s from my posts being better in content or due to the magic of regular and steady updates, my blog has gone up pretty sharply [...]

One of the things I tend to do on weekends, despite myself, is completely disconnect from everything not related to sports or bad TV movies on the Sci-Fi Channel.  I’ll read my friends’ blogs (usually all at once late at night when I’ve got free time), but other than that I don’t really pay attention [...]

I killed a bunch of demons in Space Goat Land. Man, I thought I was out of ideas a few days ago?  When I don’t actually do anything important or leave the house, I really run out of stuff to blog about.  I’ve gotten through this NaBloPoMo thing a lot easier than I ever thought [...]

This week, something bad happened.  The local FM sports radio station, 93.9 The Ticket, lost their press passes thanks to critical comments and the drive-time guy predicting that U of L would lose to Pitt (or something, hell if I know what the real reason is).  As they’re in a college town, if they can’t [...]
