Welcome to the Chair
128 viewsFinding a good horror novel is as difficult as finding a good horror movie; most of what is out there is simply crap. What do we have when it comes to the horror genre? Steven King and his son Joe Hill, Peter Straub and Dean Koontz. Anne Rice is gone, having found Jesus (though it is said she recently lost him, and will possibly exhume Lestat from his literary grave). And Clive Barker hasn’t published [...]

Clive Barker’s Imajica
529 viewsClive Barker is one of my favorite authors, right up there with Stephen King and Neil Gaiman. I haven’t read everything he has written, but most of his works. Weaveworld and The Damnation Game rank up there with Gaiman’s American Gods and King’s It as some of my favorite books. nd I have read Barker’s Books of blood volumes 1-3, as well as volumes 4-6, which were released under other names (In the Flesh, The [...]

What’s That Smell?
110 viewsI am a Jeopardy junkie. I tape it every night, and my wife and I will watch the episodes in spurts.

TV Time 1/30/2010
173 viewsSome thoughts on my favorite television shows: Lost- God, I miss the days of escaped polar bears. And The Others. And inputting numbers into an old computer and pushing a button. I remember complaining about the show back then, but man, it was gold compared to today. Time travel. I HATE time travel. Abhor it. Its an awful premise in any show. And all it has done to lost is make it an incomprehensible mess. [...]

Grey’s Anatomy vs. Porn
588 viewsI am sad to admit it, but I have sat through an episode or two or Grey’s Anatomy. I’m loathed to admit it, actually, because no straight male should ever be subjected to such… trash. Between this program, and the even worse Private Practice, we get a glimpse at some of the most ridiculous story lines ever. I mean, the writers must scour every 3rd world nation for their absurd, and oftentimes disturbing, medical cases. [...]

Dogs Are People, Too
269 viewsGuess what my father and my dog have in common? If you said that they are both alcoholics, well, you’re close. If you said they both have back problems, you would be closer. After all, Friday is a daschund and my father is a dentist, both of which are prone to back issues. But if you said they are both diabetic, well then, give yourself a pat on the back because you win the Kewpie [...]
