Hello boys and girls, here's sending you DVR dreams and iPodelicious wishes. Finding the life electronic overwhelming? I'm thinking of starting a neo-Luddite movement. That's right, down with technology! So first steps first, let me put it out on my blog, tweet my friends, and oh yeah, gotta facebook that sucker....damn. When was the last time you turned it all off? Tried living without the boob tube for a week? Put down, GASP!!!! the cell phone?! Clearly, as I'm blogging this, I may myself h...

Yeesh!!!!!!! The first one was scary the first couple of times, but holy crap! In short, I watched the Grudge 2 yesterday, and it scared the beejeesus out of me. It takes a lot to get me going. When I watched Silence of the Lambs, I rolled over to go to sleep. (of course my wife shook me awake and made me watch 45 minutes of fantasia with her......) The only horror movie to ever give me nightmares, was Night of the Living Dead. And I was eight. I think even better, was the fact that the...

Another short limerick review, And not of a movie that blew, The movie's just right, I watched in delight, And to C.S. Lewis was true. Meh. Not my best limerick review.

I've been thinking, every halloween, somehow I'm the one that ends up passing out candy, so I end up stuck in front of the TV watching some old scary movie, and stopping to answer the door every five minutes. But then I was struck with a thought. Aha!!!! What if I invited a bunch of people over in costume, and moved a couch, a bunch of chairs and a big TV outside, and had an all night outdoors fright n...

Big Time Wow!

At last!!! The last book in the Stephen King Dark Tower series will be out in twenty days!!!! I can die happy. I've been reading this series since grade school. I still think it has the best opening ever, beginning with, "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." (My favorite last line was the execution of Sydney Carton in A Tale of Two Cities, Tis a far, far better thing......) There are a few writers I like better, (John Irving, Ray Bradbury, Hemingway,...
