First off: a big thank you to my friend Emily for inspiring this week's blog! Horrorfind Weekend 12 was this past weekend. For those not familiar, it is an annual horror convention, usually held in Hunt Valley, Maryland. This year it was moved to Gettysburg,… Continue reading →
Last weekend, I finally managed to purchase and watch George A. Romero's latest installment of shambling ex-lifers – Survival of the Dead. After the mess that was Diary of the Dead, I was extremely hesitant about picking this one up. Fortunately, Devin's… Continue reading →
The year is 1979. I'm four years old and living with my parents in an apartment complex in Norfolk, Virginia. My dad is in the Navy, stationed at the naval base there. It was a simpler time – a time filled with cliches and hyperbole. As a four year old, my… Continue reading →
So, I'm looking at the new Bespin Fatigues Luke Skywalker figure I picked up a couple of weeks ago (five UPCs from these figs equal a mail-away, rocket-firing Boba Fett figure using the original mold from the eighties!) and a thought occurred to me…… Continue reading →

I can't stand the heat. I know, I know – I should get out of the kitchen. Seriously, though, I'm not a big fan of hot weather. Anything over seventy-five degrees and I'm already starting to break a sweat. And if it's humid, you can subtract about five to ten… Continue reading →
Father – forgive me, for I have sinned. It has been two weeks since my last blog confession. My work schedule has been temporarily changed for the past couple of weeks. This has left me seeing day where you see night, telling me it's black when I know that… Continue reading →
It's been a consistency – from high school up to the present, I have always had friends who like to play some kind of poker, from straight to community and everything in between. Unfortunately, I never really got into it like my friends have. I tried back in… Continue reading →
