I've only attended the Minnesota State Fair once, the year I moved to the state. Ever since I've avoided it like the plague. For those of you that don't know, the MSF prides itself on its many ‘on-a-stick' concoctions. These include anything that can be… Continue reading
I'm sorry to say, oh my loyal readers (all two of you), that I am a liar. In my half-assed little blogger bio I stated: "He's (Gabe) written for DVDActive.com for almost four years now, and racked up over 300 reviews, but still hasn't managed anything worthy… Continue reading

Edit: I noticed some lame typos. I'm sorry about that. I've got a million ideas floating around in my head right now. Devin's editorial about the future of DC comics in movies helped focus me, for a blog post at least. I don't really consider myself a comic… Continue reading
