Elsewhere

25 February 2010

Ana and Thea, The Book Smugglers, are clearly being blackmailed by me.  Why? Because I’m guest posting on their blog again, this time reviewing a steamy romance novel that I didn’t actually hate.
Oh, and The Utopian, the most emo webcomic written by a grown-ass man, has a plethora of real-world guest appearances in its latest [...]

Lost 6.5: “The Lighthouse”

24 February 2010

You know what I love about a good Jack-centric episode of LOST?
“Is it that you hate Jack so much that you revel in any opportunity to see him damage his own life and the lives of others, especially when he and his myriad dysfunctions are the prime focus?”
Yes, Imaginary Reader I’m Having A Fake Conversation [...]

A Rambling Post About Comic Books With Several Footnotes

23 February 2010

It’s not a book that’s going to launch you to superstardom or put you at the top of the sales chart but I was really proud of what I was able to do on that book and hopefully it will hold up for Ghost Rider fans. I also was happy because I [...]

I’m Posting About Grey’s Anatomy Again

19 February 2010

Without spoilers, because I know not everyone is caught up on the current season, I have to say that last night’s flashback-laden ep was my favorite hour of Grey’s this season. Primarily because of stunt-casting guest stars J. August Richards (Gunn from Angel) and Sarah Paulson (of American Gothic and Studio 60 fame) as the [...]

Friday Cover Songs #900

19 February 2010

Phoenix – Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands (Bob Dylan cover)
Iron and Wine – Same Old Song (Four Seasons cover)
So the theme today is that there kind of isn’t a theme. I’ve been sitting on that Phoenix cover since last week and, while I have more than enough Dylan covers to do a second all-Dylan [...]

Earl Grey And Pandora

18 February 2010

I haven’t seen Avatar yet. Judging by its box office take to-date, I’m in the minority.  I know people who have seen the movie as many as six times (half in 3D and half in 2D, to “really absorb the difference”).  There is a subset of moviegoers who reportedly suffer from depression because Pandora, the [...]

True Geek Confessions

17 February 2010

Over at Alert Nerd, we’re celebrating another annual theme day.  Last week year, we celebrated the wedding of Scott Summers and Jean Grey because that is exactly the type of nerd that we are, but this year we’re exposing our True Geek Confessions. Click over and read along as I confess something so horrible and [...]

An Open Letter To Carolyn

16 February 2010

Dear Carolyn,
My name is Jeff. I don’t think you know me. Certainly, I have no idea how you got my phone number. You might have misdialed, Carolyn. Someone might have even given you the number in error.  Whatever the genesis of the misunderstanding that occurred between us last night, Carolyn, I want you to know [...]

5 Plot Synopses For Me And Orson Welles

15 February 2010

I saw the trailer for Me and Orson Welles last night.  While the idea of an Orson Welles story in which Welles is the antagonist instead of a grouchy, misunderstood genius is something that’s appealing to me, the Zac Efron-ness of the trailer makes me a little trepidatious (the question is whether or not it [...]
