There really hasn’t been any other television program to even come close to the magnificent magick that is Northern Exposure. Yes, Nina owns the actual handmade rabbit coat that Shelly wore for six years. Yes, we have seen each episode at least twenty times. Our favorites we have seen at least sixty. We use [...]
(Our friend Pi drew that for a Vs. System fantasy card. Skrull Doll for the win! Check his blog too.)
Remember the movie Brainstorm with Natalie Wood and Christopher Walken? If you don’t, you should. What full human experience would you want to share with the rest of the world? For me, it has always been [...]
(That was the random freakiness of the WordPress front page yesterday.)
In the olden days we had to cut and paste from paper magazines to get such profound poetry. Now we know what happens when you combine Richard Nixon with dog-chewed Super Bowl tickets floating in a Peach Flambe doused with Ginger Punch, for free! That graphic shows the [...]

I have seen Stanley C. Panther up close and personal, and the 56th NHL All Star Game has him beat, by far, in one important category. Clownshoes.

Yep, you are not getting much out of me today. We are chilling like a rabbit in a refrigerator. With twelve bags of carrots.
That is my favorite Geordie Tait banner from back in the day. I dig the idea of Starro unleashing a sputtering storm of little pink and purple pointy-headed dudes for the win. Today I am doing the same in my classroom. Each student will create their own little pink and purple pointy-headed corner of the interwebs [...]
Yes, that is what you think it is. The original Alex Garner drawing from the card heard ’round the world. Longshot, Rebel Freedom Fighter. Upper Deck’s Vs. System. The legendary Mulletman.
For those of you that I know and love from our trading card game community, I beg your indulgence today. I need to explain how special [...]

1. Nina and I have been cooking up a short story/novel/screenplay for months, with the myth of The Joker as its focal point.
2. Yesterday Heath Ledger died tragically, and was quoted in multiple interviews saying his portrayal of the Clown Prince of Crime in The [...]
Art leaves a residue. Film is a medium that makes it last a long time for large groups of people. Heath Ledger lives on in his movies, and our memories. Nina and I are especially fond of A Knight’s Tale. We have seen it 24 times. I can hear the bubbling remix of David Bowie’s [...]

Sigh. Things at work are in a major fluxus mode. My Rogue-like superpowers have the empathy melt sizzling like grilled cheese. I love change, and yet I also love a sense of direction. So I juggle.
In another sort of change, WordPress just gave us so [...]
