This is a Post
It is full of things. 1) Xmas. I would like one. But I have a deadbeat landlord who still has not returned our security deposit, though he signed a lease with new tenants three weeks ago. So, no presents for us. Hopefully it will come by week’s end. Then: I will click the Amazon “buy”
The Warrior’s Way: Ninja Assassins and Blowing Shit Up in the Old West
The Warrior’s Way is a beautifully shot, silly little film that’s apparently been stuck in post-production for years. This doesn’t surprise me, as anybody who starts mixing genres is going to have some trouble with marketing. In this case, it’s a mix of martial arts movie + western, with all the silliness that that implies.

The Mad Men Tango
One of the things that makes Mad Men so consistently watchable is that it defies soap opera conventions. We’ve come to expect certain things from TV shows. We expect these people to live crazy, over-the-top lives full of great tragedies and great good fortune (but mostly, great tragedies). We expect miscarriages, drowned children, car wrecks,
Women, Guns, and Gods: The Horns of Ruin
I found Tim Akers’s last book, Heart of Veridon, by accident at the local bookstore. I enjoyed it so much that I eagerly awaited his next book, The Horns of Ruin… until I read the back cover copy. See, it had all this stuff that annoys the crap out of me. I’m not a fan
