What Does Passing a Kidney Stone Feel Like? [video]
The title says it all. I’m currently passing a kidney stone (passing as in moving throughout my kidney, not passing as in I am actually peeing it out on camera). To take my mind off of the pain, I decided to record this video. It didn’t work.

Destroying Books with: a Goat [video]
I’m back with another convoluted way to destroy books. Once again I took to Facebook to ask for some suggestions about how best to destroy a book. This time: A goat. I’m with you, I never thought of a goat as much of a destruction machine, but apparently Amanda Gowin does. Watch as some very finicky goats refuse the delicious meal I offer them.
Book destroyed: Radium Girls by Amanda Gowin. Buy it!

Destroying Books with: Fire [video]
I consulted the TwiBookPlus (Twitter, Facebook, Google+) asking for ways to destroy books. Dakota Taylor eloquently said “fire.” So, that’s what this video does.
This will probably be a series, so look forward to more book destruction in the future.

Breaking Book Spines [video]
Some say that a book is a perfectly beautiful object, that aesthetically the sign of a pristine book without dogeared pages, margin scribbles, or creases in the spine is as close to a visual ideal as anything can get. For those of you who say these things, you may want to look away.

TBR + TBD: To Be Read + To Be Drunk | May [video]
I’ve never done a To Be Read video. Why? I don’t care for them as a viewer, so I felt somewhat false in trying to project excitement for caring for them as a creator. However, I think I’ve found a way to easy my conscious. Introducing: To Be Read + To Be Drunk, in which I tell you the books I’ll be reading as well as the beers I’ll be drinking. Enjoy.
What I’ll be reading:
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
White Noise by Don DeLillo
What I’ll be drinking:
Steel Toe Stout from Ska Brewing
Samaels from Avery Brewing
Huge Arker from Anderson Valley Brewing
Raspberry Imperial Three Blind Mice from Mother’s Brewing
Lil’ B from Evil Twin Brewing

When is it okay to correct mispronunciations? [video]
People mispronounce things all the time. Hell, I do it like five times in this video where I specifically call attention to mispronunciations. So, is there ever a socially acceptable time to call attention to such linguistic slander?

When is the right time to stop reading a book? [video]
Lately I’ve started to contemplate how best to address my ever-growing TBR pile. I’ve realized that it’s not so much the quantity of books that prevents me from making even a dent in the pile, but more my absurd practice of reading every book to 100% completion, even if I know by page 10 that I won’t like the book. This, I have learned, must change.
So, how do a break up with a book when I know the relationship is going nowhere. Please help me!

Rural family noir: a video book review of In the Devil’s Territory by Kyle Minor [video]
Kyle Minor’s In the Devil’s Territory is rural family noir at its best, with lots of back-woods religion overtones, and family dynamics rooted in harsh sexism where women are taught to be subservient to men and men are trained to exploit that subservience.
Buy it here.
What am I drinking? Schlafly Coffee Stout. Mmmmmmm.

We Play Stephen King Plot or Adult Swim Show! [video]
Come spectate upon a rousing game of Stephen King plot or Adult Swim show in which I read a brief synopsis and you tell me if I’m describing the plot of a Stephen King book or of a TV show on the ridiculously Stephen King-like network Adult Swim.
My guest today is Gordon Highland.
