It’s the twenty-ninth today and I’m starting to run out of ideas. Then as I was drawing the image in the previous post, I decided to do a poem set in the Warhammer 40k universe. I understand completely if most don’t care for it, it’s a bit more “niche” than most of what I write.…

I was thinking about how as a species we have gone from having too little access to information, to having a surfeit of it. Along the way, precious little has been done to teach us how to critically assess everything we consume now. This poem is about that. Enjoy! A Brief History of Information Overload…

It doesn’t matter who you are, You’ll never be alone, There’s legal things, illegal things, Some things are in between. There’s beauty there and…

For day two, a tribute to one of my all-time favourite writers. H. P. LOVECRAFT In Innsmouth town the folk are strange, Have been these many years. The town is shunned by decent folk, Afraid to face their fears. In Arkham ancient evils dwell, In books of arcane lore. On summoning and sacrifice, And Gods…

Great news for me… Movie screening season is here again! We don’t get any in the summer, but now that it’s snowed here, the screeners are starting up again. And what a start they are off to. My screening season kicked off with the new comedy “Last Vegas”. It stars Kevin Klein, Michael Douglas, Morgan…

I know I’m a little late to the gate, but I’ve just seen Pacific Rim and had to give it a quick review. Awesome! See, I told you it would be short. Okay… Maybe a little more meat on the bone is needed. Freakin’ Awesome! So now that I’ve had my fun, I’ll try to…

I was fortunate to recently receive passes to the screener for “World War Z”. I’ve got to say, it was much better than I had feared. It’s not a perfect movie, but then how many are? I have a short list of favorite zombie movies. “Shaun Of The Dead”, the original “Night Of The Living…
