When I mentioned going on a date with my wife to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, my mother was actually asking for a review before the date ever happened. Oh well, it’s not as if I couldn’t have predicted that it would be at least as good, if not better, than the [...]
It seems like I’ve been doing a lot of posts like this lately. I don’t like to think my wife and I are suckers, but man it seems like we’ve been getting ripped off a lot in recent memory. I can’t help but think that honest, legitimate businesses just don’t exist anymore. They’ve been driven [...]
Like most songs I post here, I decided I must like 10 Years’ Wasteland after listening to it on continuous repeat for several hours at work without realizing it. Before I looked up the lyrics, I could’ve sworn he was saying, “Change my accent,” in the first line of the song. Oh well, I’ve never [...]

According to an article I caught on Slashdot, you’ll soon be able to download Dungeons & Dragons books as PDFs. At first, I thought it was great news. After all, you can get the book instantly and have it available for searching from your computer. If you’re a savvy DM with a laptop, it’s a [...]
Like most Americans these days, I rarely find myself approving of my country’s legislature. Lately, however, I’ve found cause to give a nod to what the Senate’s been up to. Two amendments, penned by the radical right in complete disregard for citizens’ right, were struck down in June, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier. [...]
