Beowulf
I can’t believe people actually took the trouble to make this movie. What a waste of space.
Work it Out
I’ve put on six pounds since J. and I moved in together, largely due to the lack of gym across the street (I got used to the convenience of the gym at The Greene), and our shared love of good food. And, OK, some of this is also weight I put on *because* of the

Excerpt: Black Desert Gets a Plot Shift
Black Desert is currently in the middle of a heavy rewrite. Here’s some additional sceneage I was working on today (I’ll post something with a bit more action tomorrow): ____________________ “Mercia’s mother called,” Suha said. She put out the cigarette and stuffed a wad of sen between teeth and cheek. Her teeth were stained bloody

Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Don’t. Just… Don’t. I’m all about a good Kevin Smith movie. This is not a good Kevin Smith movie. The characters are not only not likeable (which can be forgiven – there are plenty of unlikeable folks in fiction) but not interesting. There’s this crazy misogynist bent running throughout (it’s about porn, afterall. Still, I’d

Gods and Monsters and Valkyries Oh My!
I picked up NorseCode based primarily on the strength of the back cover copy and first chapter, which is usually a good sign (Not always. See The Electric Church for first chapter readings that went wrong). Turns out this is the sort of book that makes me second guess my aversion for books clothed in

Terminator, Or What the Fuck Did You Do With My Sarah Conner
This movie would have been better if I wrote it. It wouldn’t have sucked as hard. How about this: they could have written all the parts that had to do with robots. And I would have written everything that had to do with the people. It’s true, the new Terminator machine concept was great. I

One For the Road
“You’re going to get this treatment your whole life. What are you going to do, stand up every time?” Well… YEAH.
Good Reads
J. was out and about today, so I asked him to pick up a copy of Norse Code on the way home: I’m already clipping through this one pretty quickly. I get the sense that it’ll be inevitably (and favorably) compared to Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. Don’t let the cover fool you. It’s real urban
