Call Me Crazy
But I have a strange compulsion to watch The Wanted again. Maybe all I really want is a big gun and a sweet-ass tattoo.
Knowing What to Keep
I’m sitting here on my porch on a hot summer night with a beer, watching the fireflies and listening to some good music. Man, it doesn’t get much better. Saw The Wanted tonight. Blood and gun battles in Chicago (in my old neighborhood! He snipes from one of the houses right next to the Wrigley

The Sugar Festival
I picked up Paul Park’s The Sugar Festival back when I went to Clarion, but never read it (he was one of our instructors that year – I read The Gospel of Corax instead, which I enjoyed). Mainly, I didn’t read it because the first few pages… few, man, at least 25 or so, were

Torchwood
I like that her boyfriend is boring and normal and cooks her dinner and babbles on domestically about nothing at all, all full of squishy affection. Yet I tend to only fall hard for people who are just this side of nuts. I get bored otherwise. Yeah, I’m trying hard to grow out of that.
Spamalot
Took one of my dates out last night to see Spamalot (yes, that’s Clay Aiken now appearing in the Broadway version). Fun times were had by all. I don’t know that I’m crazy about the ways they chose to “reimagine” Monty Python & the Holy Grail for the stage. I was overly worried there at
Curse of the Golden Flower
Pretty, but lame. Like a hot date you can just never get yourself to care about.
