I hope everyone had a great 2013 and are looking forward to 2014! Me, I’ve got a book to write, so I know what I’ll be doing most of next year. Cheers!

Happy Easter
Because that’s how I roll.
For your weekend viewing pleasure
I can’t believe I’ve never posted this, it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time: Get your mind out of the gutter. The only word being bleeped is “count.”
Not a Leap Year
We saw the new Die Hard movie last Friday, “A Good Day to Die Hard.” It wasn’t terrible—the action sequences were good and the concept was there—but compared to the last movie it was disappointing, largely because (for me) the dialogue was very stilted and cliché, focusing more on the one-liners than advancing the plot… Continue reading Not a Leap Year

The big four-oh
So today—which as I write this, is nearly over—is my birthday, and most people know it was a momentous one: 40. That’s right, one of the Big Ones. (From 30 onward they all get counted in tens, of course.) What’s funny is I’ve been mentally rounding my age up the past few months anyway, so… Continue reading The big four-oh
Star Wars + Disney

I’m not particularly worried either way about this new trilogy of Episodes VII, VIII and IX, but I do wonder a bit at… Continue reading Star Wars + Disney
Happy Halloween!
Hope it’s a good one!
