I'm talking about those of you who are good friends who have blogs too. Too many of y'all have gotten more than a bit slack of late. What, you think I like reading my own all the time?! I go to you guys' blogs too... and it's absolutely heartbreaking that too many of you have seemingly abandoned your poor blogs!At least Jenna St. Hilaire is still busy with hers. Not only that but she also just finished writing an entire novel. What do the rest...

Lots of Christians weighing in on THE BOOK OF ELI
When I saw The Book of Eli last week, I figured this movie would cause a lot of discussion in the Christian community. And I've no doubt that this is just the beginning as more people see the film...CJ Thomas posts his take on the movie and particularly about star Denzel Washington's opinion about what some might consider to be The Book of Eli's inherent "controversy". Meanwhile...
So thankful that our collective priorities are in order
Tonight is the State of the Union address (which doesn't have to be a speech anyway, or even an annual event, just look it up) and as his predecessors have never failed to do, President Barack Obama is certainly poised to waste even more of our money.But never mind that! The entire western world is anxiously holding its breath over the announcement of Apple's new tablet!(No, sarcasm is not my usual forte....
Funny - and true - commentary on this season's college basketball
A friend named Ray Crompton has said it best..."It's sad that the best basketball team in NC is the Bobcats."This is the wonkiest year I've seen for college basketball in this state in Lord knows how long.I haven't checked though: how are the Western Carolina Catamounts doing? ...

Prison inmates banned from playing Dungeons & Dragons
The inmates of a prison in Wisconsin have so far failed to mount a successful legal challenge against their being banned from playing Dungeons & Dragons. According to the article, the staff of the prison deemed Dungeons & Dragons inappropriate because "one player is denoted the Dungeon Master... [who] is tasked with giving directions to other players... [which] mimics...
Fifteen gadgets that were WAY ahead of their time
Think your iPhone or BlackBerry is the wave of the future? Feh! Behold the marvelous technology of 1913, represented by E.C. Hanson's "automobile wireless telephone". With his buggy outfitted with two telephone poles and various high-voltage insulators, Hanson could make calls from the road up to 35 miles away.Technologizer has a fun lil' read up on their site about Hanson's...
Pathetic!
I know of no other way to describe it when a person arrives at this blog via a Google search for, and I quote, "scarlett johansson seks".(I hope the person found what they were looking for on this post that I made over three years ago.)What kind of a world is this coming to when even "sex" is getting misspelled...

Chris says that THE BOOK OF ELI should be seen by EVERYBODY professing to be Christian... and everyone else too!
(Proprietor's note: Before starting the review proper, I just gotta get this out of my system: The Book of Eli is the movie where Denzel Washington kicks the butt of local cult leader Johnny Robertson. Because Johnny Robertson is exactly the character that Gary Oldman is playing in this movie. I'm not the only one who's thinking this either. Okay, 'nuff with that. Back...

High-class Hobbit hole
This subterranean house in Vals, Switzerland is just the sort of place that Bilbo Baggins would have loved had he been able to blow his loot on such conveniences as digital satellite television and outside lights...The house, designed by SeARCH and Christian Muller Architects, includes "all the facilities a common house has, such as a guest room, an entertainment area, but...
Practical fusion energy takes step forward with levitaging magnet
Previous attempts at harnessing the power of fusion reactions have involved containing plasma within a magnetic bottle. Now comes word of a radical new approach thunked-up by researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The new method takes a massive levitating magnet and causing the plasma to flow around it.If further experiments continue to bear good results,...

Hey, Congressman Brad Miller: IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY TO GIVE!!!
Look folks: I, for one, do want to see the proposed McMichael Civic Center for Wentworth (the county seat of Rockingham County, North Carolina) become a reality. As an active member of the Theatre Guild of Rockingham County and participant in several past productions, I can certainly vouch that a dedicated stage and associated facilities will absolutely be appreciated, for...

See Dawn Swartz channel Gollum in BEN PICKLE!
I've written about Dawn Swartz a few times before on this blog: about how she's a very sweet friend and terrific actress! She had one of the leads in our film Schrodinger's Bedroom a few years ago, and recently she was seen briefly alongside Richard Gere in Nights in Rodanthe.But look at Dawn now, in this screen cap from the short film Ben Pickle...Dawn, girl... what did...

James Oldfield is FULL of crap tonight!
How long has it been since I've posted about those lunatics from the local "Church of Christ" cult? Awhile, at least.Time to have some fun with them again...Earlier tonight it was Micah Robertson talking about satanic sex (bear in mind that this is the same young man who recently went on a weeks-long spate obsessing about Abraham's libido) and Mark McMinnis, who for once didn't do his whiny act about "...those Baptists made me lose my job in Danville...
The Supreme Court overturned parts of McCain-Feingold today
Read about it here.Y'know, I've always thought that McCain-Feingold was horrible, horrible legislation......but I'm also rather troubled by the idea that corporations, labor unions etc. as artificial organisms en masse should have the same rights as actual, living citize...
