Google Ebooks won’t make people read more. Shut up. You know it’s true
Actually, I do read a lot. I’m making myself finish The Prestige this week (It is really good), and I finished The Winter of Our Discontent two weeks ago (It is really, really good). I also teach a lit class part time (My students hate the deep insides of my guts). So, when I hear … Read more
The Walking Monster of Climate Change kills 300,000 each year.
Uh Oh. From CNN: More than 300 million people are already seriously affected by the gradual warming of the earth and that number is set to double by 2030, the report from the Global Humanitarian Forum warns. “Climate change is the greatest emerging humanitarian challenge of our time, causing suffering to hundreds of millions of … Read more
The All New 10 PM Podcast: An Afternoon with DJ Datz
Welcome to the all new, somewhat but not really improved 10 PM Podcast. No, I have no reason at all to call it the 10 PM podcast besides the fact that this is the internet, and you can do whatever the hell you want to. This week, I got the chance to skype up with … Read more
Saying Goodbye to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
It was a good show. And the worst part about it is that there is a whole population of people that will never, ever see it. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canceled. It is gone, and won’t be coming back. Just like Firefly, a great television show has been taken off the air … Read more
The Missing Link is Found and, yes, no one cares.
Some of you don’t believe in Evolution. It’s OK. I totally respect that. I actually prefer the idea of creation due to absolute Will as opposed to growing like a tumor and relaying on mutations to get us on our way. But wait! Look! They’ve found it! They’ve found it! What? You haven’t heard? They … Read more
News Rodeo: Obama vs. Some Old Fart, Epic Fail for Terminator, and Remembering Memorial Day
Welcome to another week of News Rodeo. Yes, thank you. Please, sit down. No applause, please. First up, the stupid and retarded fabricated duel between Former Vice-President and current Ass-hat Dick Cheney and current leader of the free planet President Obama. The reason this is going on is because we didn’t toss Dick Cheney’s butt … Read more
Life After the MFA: Why Your Students Should Care
I teach English part-time at a community college. You guys know that. It is an amazing learning experience, figuring out ways to teach people something that I enjoy. Do I enjoy grammar? Literary theory? All that? Yeah, sometimes I do. What I really enjoy is reading a story, figuring out what we can learn from … Read more
Will “Inglorious Bastards” be any good?
I am not the biggest fan of Mr. Tarantino. I actually was using the bathroom the other day and I thought, “You know, Pulp Fiction was a pretty bad movie.” I know, you probably choked on your Latte when you read that. But, think about it. In the movie, you had an emotional reaction about … Read more
Netflixing: Battlestar Galactica Season 1
Battlestar Galactica is one of those television shows that you hear about and avoid. At least I did. Huh? An epic sci-fi series with tons of characters, ties to an older series and with high themes and over-reaching explanations about human nature? Nah, I’ll pass. Thankfully, I’ve reviewed how stupid I have been and have … Read more
New Auto-Tune the News for your viewing pleasure…
Not as funny as the last one, but still way funnier than watching the real news, which isn’t funny at all.
