Every time it’s the same. I’ll go to a friend’s house, sit down on his comfortable couch, and proceed to yell comically at the television. My screaming isn’t directed at just a particular show or commercial, and sometimes it comes without warning. To be honest, it’s really just to get a laugh or assert my… Continue reading STOP TELLING ME THINGS! The Art of Screaming at TVs
Dancing with a Giant Book: Review of Martin’s A Dance with Dragons

Thousands of miles to the south, a fourteen-year-old queen tends to three ferocious dragons in the hopes that they will win back her ancestral empire. In between, a beaten populace has more immediate concerns than wargs and winged… Continue reading Dancing with a Giant Book: Review of Martin’s A Dance with Dragons
Brides + Basement = Bad Horror Movies
BAD horror movies bring me a lot of joy. I’m talking about the kind that is so awful it’s insulting. Bad scripts, bad acting, bad special effects, just plain bad.

You can buy Gucci handbags there, Prada heels, or even a mink… Continue reading “Bee Ware” of Great Deals at Double Exposure

Arcane’s Last Show: The End of an Era
Arcane Malevolence‘s first show was December 14, 2007 at Monkey Bar with Age Old Nemesis, Lesser Being, and Year of Confession. Monkey Bar shut its doors years ago and reopened as some dance club.
