I have been re-listening to Ready Player One - and it has made me go from "dislike" to "UGH THE WORST" on the movie. I have moved my dial from "well, you can tell it was "inspired by" to "were they even trying?!?" And I know, they probably had a ton of difficulty getting rights to stuff… Continue reading Writing: I want to write a TV Show

Review (SPOILERS) Ready Player One [Movie]
I can't review Ready Player One without spoilers. I might be able to, but I'd have to go watch the trailer a bunch to make sure what I talk about is only from the trailer. Oh, but can I assume people HAVE read a book that's been out for 7 years? I generally have a ~1yr… Continue reading Review (SPOILERS) Ready Player One [Movie]
Review: Subnautica
I have been watching this game for 2-3 years. I watched JackSepticEye and NeebsGaming playing through the beta/early access versions. I held off buying until it went live (ok, I got it like 2 days early, so technically I was an early access supporter...) TL;DR: 5/5 review. This game is NOT 100% perfect. I had a… Continue reading Review: Subnautica
Review: A Wrinkle In Time (movie) Spoiler Free
I have cried during more movies in the past 12 months than I think I have the rest of my life. A Wrinkle In Time did it to me again. I loved this movie for so many reasons. I loved Meg and Charles Wallace. I thought both of them were so well crafted, you didn't need to… Continue reading Review: A Wrinkle In Time (movie) Spoiler Free
Politics: Too many Boswells?
So some background here (and eventually I'll explain the picture!): As I was writing my thoughts on Scalzi, I went looking for Dickens quotes and found (God I love Gutenberg) letters! In one of them (I was searching keywords but this letter made me pause for context) I found this AMAZING line: I can imagine… Continue reading Politics: Too many Boswells?
Musing: Book of my Time
This is not a review of Collapsing Empire (John Scalzi) because it's the first of either two or three books - and I am chomping at the bit to be able to get #2. I am actually really glad I waited to read it until now - if I had read it when it first came out… Continue reading Musing: Book of my Time
Review: Here, There be Dragons (James Owen)
This book is imperfect (I have critiques) but it is definitely on my list of "books I'll recommend to someone." If that sounds like a contradiction - well, you can enjoy something that is imperfect despite it's imperfections. Here, There be Dragons is, at it's core, a fun adventure novel. I thought it was a… Continue reading Review: Here, There be Dragons (James Owen)
SCOTUS: Searching Cars
There are two cases this year dealing with cars and the fourth amendment in front of the Supreme Court. My little SCOTUS nerdy heart is a little excited. Both of them will be argued today. Byrd v. United States So I can see the argument in this case (here is a professional write up if you… Continue reading SCOTUS: Searching Cars
Review: Star Wars Last Jedi
I don't know if I can avoid spoilers. I am going to try. But if you (like me) did everything you could (including avoiding interviews) so you could go into this movie with as little knowledge as possible - well, I might let slip something you didn't want see. Fair? Good. I would give it a… Continue reading Review: Star Wars Last Jedi
Review: Bad Characters
Oh the irony that I got called out for "always liking the books I read" and then I read something awful. Thanks universe. Thanks a lot. (Thanks OBAMA) Without naming names, this book was pretty awful. It's the first of a trilogy and as much as I hate leaving a plot unfinished, I don't think I want… Continue reading Review: Bad Characters
