Bram Stoker’s Notes for Dracula - Robert Eighteen-Bisang & Elizabeth Miller

09/30/08, 8:00 PM

A short while ago, a package arrived at my door. I get a lot of books, some that I buy, some that I get the privilege of seeing ahead of time and reviewing, some that people want me to consider for awards. As much as I love books, the thrill of new books entering the to be read pile can…

I’ve Been Tagged - 6 Things No One Knows About Me

09/30/08, 10:06 AM

I usually don’t do these things, but one time won’t kill me…

1) I have a tattoo on my back of a wizard with a Hebrew word tattooed on HIS forehead. It was supposed to say Yahweh, but I was drunk. No one knows what it says. Closest I’ve come is the Hebrew spelling of Budweiser…

2) When I was an Electronics…

Deadlines Looming - I Present Gram Rabbit in the Interim

09/30/08, 6:35 AM

I have a column due at CHIZINE and an essay due at STORYTELLERS UNPLUGGED so instead of a longer post, I present the group - and the song - that caught my attention during last night’s episode of LIFE - which I find fairly fascinating.  They make very good use of the background music, sometimes turning the episode into a long music…

Weekend Recap - The Forbidden Kingdom, Hell House, Mr. Woodcock

09/29/08, 7:07 AM

We watched all of our Netflix movies this weekend because, frankly, it’s the only shot we had with all the good television that’s been playing. Even with a whole weekend we had to push it, because there was football, and Cold Case premiering last night (it was good).

This weekend’s movies were as follows, with short commentary:

Mr. Woodcock: This one was…

A Thought on the Mortgage Crisis - Thanks to Birk’s Law (which was wrong)

09/26/08, 6:13 AM

I got an e-mail this morning forwarding me something called Birk’s Economic Plan, where a guy with a good heart, but very bad mathematical skills, figured out that they could split up the bailout and give everyone 18 and over a check for (after taxes) about 379,000 instead of bailing out the big companies. The thought was you could take…

McCain Cancellation / Palin Blessed Against Witches / DNA Testing

09/25/08, 8:24 AM

Because I love a good YOU TUBE or two…or three…also included

David Letterman on the cancellation by McCain of his Late Show appearance - and the hold on his campaign…

Sarah Palin receives a blessing against Witchcraft from a… a… not sure what he is….

Don’ You Know what a DNA TEST IS -are you STUPID? (lol) Hmmmm….

Sony’s Ebookstore - Apparently, Finally, I’m There

09/25/08, 6:58 AM

Most authors, I’m sure, check now and then to see what Google is turning up in association with their name.   Some of us have to do that because we’ve fallen onto the black list of such Internet luminaries as the barely coherent Nickolaus Pacione - I found a book review of his this morning on Amazon.com where he gives his…

TV Reviews - The Mentalist, Fringe, & Why Mid Season Finales?

09/24/08, 6:54 AM

I’m not sure whether to be glad that there are so many programs on television that don’t suck these days, or to be totally frustrated by the idiocy of the way they are presented.  When did it become normal to have a six or seven episode season, then a mid-season finale - and bring the show back a few months…

These guys should have had a BIT LESS BEER before making their network television bid for fandom greatness…
