MAYHEM OF THE MOUSE Day 3: CAPTAIN HOOK #mayhemofthemouse
Number three in our line up of Disney’s usual suspects is the big-hatted, blouse-y shirted, fisherman-friendly prosthetic-wearing original Disney pirate: Captain Hook. I usually go into movies either strongly in the hero’s column (like Rocky or Spidey or Iron Man) or at least hero-neutral: rarely do I have strong negative feelings about a hero. Except [...]

Between the Covers Part Fo’
Folks, let me tell ya: GET THAT FLU SHOT! There is nothing sexy about 5-days of fevers and coughing and sore throats and general funkiness the flu brings. I think I forgot. Seriously. I think the flu was easier as a kid or I got soft as an adult cuz it laid me out for [...]
Coming this October: Mayhem of the Mouse!
You might remember a year ago I was chomping on my nails, fretting about the coming October. For those of you who skip that lil Archive link on left, my wife LOVES horror movies. I do not. I do not like them Sam I Am. So every October I gird my loins for 31 days [...]

Festival of Fiendishness – CATWOMAN
I’m no fan of cats. Aside from rampant allergies that make my eyes swell shut like I was popping shit to Clubber Lang, I think cats are assholes. They show love when they want, rip up your shit under the auspices of keeping their claws sharp, and they have no qualms about biting the hand [...]

Festival of Fiendishness: VICTOR KIRIAKIS
You didn’t know I could all soap opera on ya, didja? Didn’t think I had it in me, huh? Well, I was a latch-key kid in the summers in the 80s and one of the benefits/penalties of that was my sister LOVED Days Of Our Lives. That meant, for one hour every day, I was [...]

Wanna Know Where The Crazy Lives? It’s ‘Between the Covers’
As part of the Orangeberry Summer Splash, I came across a pretty amazing author, Terra Harmony. I reviewed her book; she graced my lil ol’ blog with a guest post. Then, we started to talk. I found out a couple things about Terra (she’s really, really funny) and about the writing process in general. We [...]
