Not a Creature Was Stirring
Dang, y’all suddenly got quiet in the last week. Did everybody go on vacation? Or are you overworked? Overshopped? There are still 330+ visitors a day here, but you’re not saying a word.

Miss Vox has a detailed review of King Kong. I haven’t seen the movie, though it’s on my short list. A couple of comments I thought I’d make here to give me an excuse to ping her – Why don’t movies have intermissions anymore? This movie cries out for one. Jurassic Park was probably every [...]

I’m still boycotting the neopagan Winter Holiday, whatever that is. For this next year, I’m taking it one step further.

Short topics, small commentary today. I have a book review I’ll try to do at lunch, but this should hold you till then. An oddity I’ve noticed: the more I post, the less you comment. There were over 400 visitors yesterday to Chasing the Wind and only 1 comment (and that one appeared to be [...]
