Apologies
I discovered I had a whole lot of comments that had stacked up while I was away in Los Angeles. I will be better about checking and approving the messages. I promise. In the meantime, my apologies for ignoring folks for several weeks. Crazy busy and some big...
Finale AGENTS OF SHIELD
Home at last and while I’m tired I’m also restless so it seemed like the perfect night to watch the finale of AGENTS OF SHIELD for a second time. Len and I were doing a great deal of hooting and hollering so I wanted to watch it again with a more critical eye. My...
The Blacklist
There are just so many way THE BLACKLIST is a mess, but I’ll try to focus my thoughts about this show that has me yelling at the screen every time I watch a recorded episode. Problem one is the fact James Spader completely outclasses everybody else in the cast. If...
Late Night Musings on AGENTS OF SHIELD
I’ve been pondering on AGENTS OF SHIELD ever since the follow up episode to THE WINTER SOLDIER. I think the show is finally finding its footing. Sad that it had to happen this late in the season leaving its fate in doubt with ABC. I hope they give it another chance...
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
For the first time in many months I actually drove to a theater and went to see a movie. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. I had really been looking forward to this film since the first movie is one of my favorite superhero movies ever because of the lovely...

Longing For A Game
Let me amend that to say I'm longing for a good game. Life right now is a bit stressful, and I'd like to have an escape. I think it's time for a return to Ferelden and Dragon Age: Origins. I used to just load up one of the Mass Effect games and go play in that...
Selling
I found myself pondering the art of selling. How people craft a commercial that will hopefully encourage a viewer to buy a particular product. My reaction to two very different television commercials made me realize how very fraught this effort must be. There is a...
Disposable Clones — And Yes, It’s about Mass Effect
A few weeks ago I found my mind wandering as I ran on the elliptical machine at my gym, and my mind went wandering back to Mass Effect. In particular I found myself pondering the fate of the clone from the DLC CITADEL. The writers gave us a pretty ambivalent ending...
Mean Girls And Bully Boys
I admit I'm a political junkie so this developing story in New Jersey about the bridge and the Sandy relief money has had me fascinated. I watched a lot of Governor Chris Christie's press conference where he tried to put the bridge scandal behind him, but as I was...
