So I'm Taking A Break From The Internet.
Here’s my away message. If you have anything urgent you need to talk to me about, call me. Not that I expect anyone to, because no one sends me messages or e-mails when things are urgent anyway. Why a break? Well, I guess I feel like I don’t get enough back from my interactions online to justify how much I put into them. Besides, it’s just depressing how infrequently any of those...

This girl, at apex, is falling from a height approaching forty feet. That’s higher than a ten-meter diving board. Holy crap.

If I were a visiting alien from another universe, and I stumbled on our planet, and spent any time watching movies and tv shows, and reading books, I’d probably be sure that New York City was the be-all and end-all of American city life. I...

Tonight, He Comes
I just read the entire script, excepting page 125, in which somehow a dead woman lives again and a super-person disappears.
It’s Hancock, you see. Before Will Smith. Back when it was just obscenity and coincidence, and didn’t have anything to do with Charlise Theron and her stupid plot twist. And it turns out people are complaining about the doctoring of the script, of the complete...

I do know that, along with the other seventeen trillion billion people who have already seen this movie, I liked it. It was cute, it was romantic, and most...
