THIS IS ENGLAND PART 2

Jet lag hovers over me at all times. When I finally pass out Monday night at 1am it’s really 8 to my body. When I wake up at 5am it’s really midnight to me. There’s something grossly disorienting about waking up far too early in the local time zone and yet at… Continue reading

SUNDANCE IS BIDDING

As a legal and tax paying Utah resident, I put up with a lot of abuse. Rage-inducing driving, bitter cold winters and heaps of condescending “You live in Utah!?” mockery. But when January rolls around and the Sundance Film Festival turns Park City into a sea… Continue reading

TOP 15 NOVELS OF 2006

I want to apologize for my long absence. It was not out of laziness or a lack of things to write about. To make a long story short, you’ll understand if you know anyone that has suffered from pressure sores and if you research them, you’ll understand how bad… Continue reading

THIS IS ENGLAND PART 1

This contains no news. It is not terribly interesting. It’s just a bloggy recap of my first day in London. Read no further if you could care less. If you read further, don’t complain about a lack of relevance. All relevance has been carefully removed from… Continue reading

TEASING THE LIZARD

One of the oddest choices of the Spider-Man franchise thus far has been the inclusion of Dr. Curt Connors, played by Dylan Baker (a man who has done a fantastic job of overcoming a very signature role of cinema's creepiest pedophile in Happiness), in all… Continue reading
