Play the Only Level
I admit, most online games are idiotic. They mostly involve rotating fields of jewels and gems in order to make some sort of pattern that causes them to disappear. They mostly involve tetris-like simplicity and the savvy consumer can’t help but notice that the bandwidth-munching banner ads on both sides show three times the technical [...]

Film Review:

Director: James Cameron
2hr 40min – Rated PG-13
I guess it was inevitable.
The last decade seemed to be all about the remaking of crappy TV shows and movies from the 70s and 80s. The Beverly Hill Billies, Bewitched, Land of the Lost, Clash of the Titans. I wouldn’t be surprised if Krull and I Dream of [...]
A Good School
Book Review:
A Good School
by Richard Yates
Remember the loneliness; the awkward social status jockeying of your teenage years? Remember when your world was simultaneously fascinating, mortifying, and beautiful?

A Good School is a [...]
Taste Test: Duritos
First things first:
No, I don’t mean “Doritos.” I grew up American, I know how to spell goddamn Doritos. I know how to spell the name of most types of snacks plus multiple variations on the Cheese, Cheesier, Cheesiest rankings.

Joyeux Noel
Film Review:
Joyeux Noel (2005)
Director: Christian Carion
If you want to mix up the typical Christmas film repertoire – give Joyeux Noel a try. You won’t find Tiny Tim, Grinch, or Whoville. There isn’t a red-nosed reindeer guiding Santa’s sleigh. But this has become one of my favorites for two reasons: first, and mainly, it is [...]

Urine Therapy
…It Came From the Library Book Sale
Did you know that urine therapy may save YOUR life? And no, that’s not just a pickup line I use to engage in “water sports” with reluctant partners.
This piece of investigative journalism came through the library booksale, and I knew that I had to learn more.
This book, unlike many of [...]
