Mass Effect Fantasy
Major game neepery is about to ensue so if you're not into Mass Effect this may seem like I've begun speaking in tongues. So I had this fantasy about the DLC I'd loved to have played. I had fun with the Citadel DLC, but thought there were a number of missed...
I Guess They’re Scared
I've been pondering and honestly trying to understand the rightwing freak out over the marriage equality ruling. What is it that is so alarming, unnatural, perverse about two people who love each other being married? They're always talking about god's law as...
Bravo Mercedes And Thank You
One month ago my workhorse of a vehicle, my Mercedes diesel GL SUV up and died in the middle of Yale Blvd. down in Albuquerque. I had just dropped off friends at the airport (thank heaven it didn't happen on I25 or during my drive back from L.A. with my cats on...
Inside Out
There will be some spoilers (not huge and probably obvious) but you have been warned. I went to see INSIDE OUT last night. I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it as much as I'd expected to. Like FROZEN I think it suffered from the hype. It's still a very fun and...

The Rabbit Problem
Today as I was working on the second space opera novel, EVIL TIMES, I was faced with the perennial science fiction problem. What do you do about animals on alien worlds? Or in a fantasy novel? In my universe Old Earth is a climate change decimated hell hole. The...

Pavlov Meet App
My technology is training me into a conditioned response. I downloaded this pedometer app for my IPhone, and now that I'm home in NM where it is beautiful and I'm not breathing exhaust when I go outside I have been taking a lot of long, brisk walks. Since I don't...
Razor Shortage?
Okay, the stubble thing is starting to bug me. Oliver Queen in Arrow, Mr. Reese in Person of Interest, Grant Ward and all the other pretty boys in Agents of SHIELD. I also notice that elegant villains get to shave -- Loki, Harrison Wells in The Flash, Hannibal in...
