Believe

On the eve of the release of Halo 3, I want to highlight and comment on the brilliant final marketing push for the game.
Clearly, given the temporary overhaul of my site, I’m a fan of the series. While not without moments of derivation, the storylines are pretty unique, not to mention insanely interesting and [...]

Grammar Geek vs. Classic Hymn

I know few others who appreciate the subtleties of language and grammar the way I frequently do.  For that reason, this may fly over the heads of some, and simply be generally unappreciated by others.  (But it’s my blog, and I’m the grammar geek, so I’ll say what I want.  So there…bleah!)
The words “less” and [...]

"I am so pleased you are not dead!"

A quote from Indiana Jones, sure, but relevant in this case to “24.”  Those not interested in what could potentially be considered spoiler info about “Day 7″ of Fox’s hit show should stop reading now.  However, as this was released in an official press release, it’s probably not hidden info, and will likely show up [...]

Two Princes

And, no, I’m not talking about the Spin Doctors.
Yesterday, it seems, Disney and Walden Media released the first one-sheet for the upcoming Prince Caspian film. The poster is gorgeous, and you can view it in hi-res here.
But looking closely…the towers on the left, the swords, the flapping hair, the glowering eye…does anyone else think [...]

Food for Thought: Wednesday

Today we’ve got another article linked by the other blog I’ve been enjoying a lot lately: Brett McCracken’s The Search. This article is a follow-up to a piece he did several years ago for Relevant Magazine on “A New Kind of Hipster,” talking about the growing trend among young Christians to be hip, [...]

Flower Bauer: A Liberal "24"

Brought to my attention by Dave Barry, the following is a very humorous look by Daniel Chun of The New Republic at 24’s assertions of “going green” this season.  What I’m posting here is merely an excerpt; the full text can be found here, and it’s very funny, despite some adult language (so be warned [...]

Food for Thought: Tuesday

More linkage today! I’ve got two different articles I want to post, though, and I think they’re both important enough to really recommend reading them, so instead of cramming them both into one post, I’ll make two posts out of it and hope that, despite what this blog’s stats reports typically indicate, people will [...]

Bathroom on the Right, Part 5

I think this will be the last one.  There are so many possibilities for mis-heard lyrics out there that I could keep this going for quite a while, but for now, it’s time to rein it in.  I originally meant it to just go those five days, but then with missing a day, plus the [...]
