BatFag
I completely forgot about this. I’ve had it on my hard drive for eons.
If only there was this scene between George Clooney and Chris O’Donnell. It might have salvaged that train wreck of a Batman movie.
It’s Not "Trekkie" It’s "Trekker"
OK, again, can’t frikkin’ wait.
Wanna know what to get me for Christmas? I HATED the original because of the lame special effects. Now? Oh my! I might become a convert!
Still, Voyager is STILL my favourite!
Not The Brightest Bulb In The Box!
OK, so those who know me know I love to read. A good book and me are the best of buddies.
So, I ran out of things to read as I’d left my satchel in a car with my friend Erik’s book, “Small Magics” so I rummaged through my stack of “bought but not read [...]
It’s Grade Seven All Over Again!
In reading all the plethora of information about “American Idol” and probably sucking in the fact that I’m going to be watching “Canadian Idol” when it comes on1 I’ve been wondering about my “taste”.

Blame George Lucas
It used to be that a trilogy was enough.

Loving The Ostrich
take the plate from the cupboard, the one that no one knows is there
sharpen the blade
cut away
he’s not here, again, so you chop

Poetry: The Funnel And The Straw
he sneers as he stumbles
that crack in the sidewalk keeps getting bigger
he turns his head south to hide the salt
so no one sees the fool
