This is tech week for Much Ado About Nothing, so posting will be lighter than usual. As such, you can expect posts like this one. Memes, perhaps. At least this meme is associated with what might turn out to be a somewhat worthwhile film (based upon a series of incredibly worthwhile books). I can has …
Really, ol’ chum, it’s better that you didn’t know.
Back in mid-December, I posted about how Jodi Picoult was taking over writing duties on Wonder Woman. December 12, actually. 104 days ago. Earlier this month, I posted a follow-up about how Jodi was leaving and her eventual successor was going to be fan-favorite Gail Simone. 13 days ago. Today, CNN has an online feature …
My morning tea just wasn’t enough to carry me aloft to my office. So I pulled over at the last moment, parked appropriately and stepped into Caribou. My timing was such that I caught the barrista dealer guy-behind-the-counter just as he was about to step away. Not sure where he was going, as he was …
I’m going to post this ridiculousness without comment. “On Thursday night, monologist Mike Daisey was performing his well-reviewed solo show, Invincible Summer, in a 300-seat second-stage space at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge, Mass., when about 80 members of a group got up and walked out.

Most of our actors are off-book, mostly. Many of our costumes are in-progress or finished or acquired. Music for the show has been selected, though not …
The other night, I had to stop by the drugstore. Pollen pervades still, so the supply of Allegra must be maintained. So I went. After picking up a few items from the shelves, I wandered back to the pharmacy area and waited while a pair of other customers sought assistance and paid for whatever. As …
This afternoon, I cursed my car stereo. I heard our President’s remarks at the Virginia Tech convocation, and cursed in disbelief. In a democracy, the offering of condolence is an accepted part of a statesman’s job. Just as there are ribbon cuttings, ground breakings, and state dinners, there will be times of shared hurt with …
The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl continues. And I'm realizing that the author is cheating. Actually, that's unfair, but the word seems still apt. One of the greatest barriers to progressing further with my attempted NaNoWriMo from last November, the one based loosely on my own high school life, was the troublesome use of …
