My 10 Favorite Things at ComiCon This Year
After 20 or so years of going to ComiCon, it is easy to get a little jaded. I fear that happened to me over the last few years, so this time, I made the effort to see things with fresh eyes and have a better attitude. Thus, I have 10 things I found delightful (in […]
Five Things I Love That I Need To Break Up WIth
In trying to make life simpler, more zen and spacious, I am trying to do away with clutter both internal and external. Sure, it wasn’t easy to let go of my entire run of 1990s Wonder Woman issues (I seriously don’t know how they thought that bicycle-pants/leather jacket look was going to stand the test of time), […]
The Top 11 Reality Shows I Would Have No Business Being On
Let’s face it – I don’t care how much scripted TV you binge on, you watch SOME reality TV. I’ve come to peace with that. I once tried out for Nashville Star and didn’t get on (I couldn’t even see the judges from the stage, and in fact pretty much all memory of my audition […]
In Which I Outline The Drops In My Bucket List
While I wait patiently for science to get into gear and develop clone bodies so that I A) never die and B) can fix this persistent tennis elbow, I have been reflecting on those achievements I have yet to … achieve.

The Ten Best 70’s Cartoon Theme Songs EVER (According To Me)
In between the Fruity Pebbles and soccer practice, every Saturday morning belonged to me. I got up early and sat through 4-H programming and reruns of Daniel Boone, to get to the good stuff – the cartoons. With nearly everything available streaming these days, its hard to remember how important it was for me to […]
In Which I List The Ten Imaginary Places I Wish To Live
Whatever city I’ve lived in or visited, I felt it had a character. Some may not be as fully formed as others (but then, which characters are?) but as I live in Sin City and watch as it grows out from under the monopoly of the Strip and evolves into a community, I can’t help but […]
In Which I List The Ten Movies I’m Simply Never Going To See at This Point
There are so many films that are cultural touchstones that everyone assumes everyone has seen them. Some add so much to the popular vocabulary, you feel like you know them, regardless of whether you watched them or not. Some clips are repeated on TV or in other movies so much you can get the context […]
