Perdido Street Station by China Miéville My rating: 5 of 5 stars I put off reading this for so long, I’d forgotten why I never read it. It certainly came recommended from many sources. A great, sprawling book like the city fixture for which it’s named, Perdido Street Station is a modern fantasy with hints [...]

In an attempt to further understand the writing phenomenon of Joss Whedon, I have decided to attempt to watch the entire run of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, dear reader, I am serious. So far, I’ve made it one whole episode and was so overcome with feeling, that I had to write about the experience. [...]
This year I upgraded my Xbox360′s hard-drive. I decided to get one of the big ones so I could transfer games to it and cut down on load times and hopefully, spare the DVD drive from an early death due to all the thrashing. I loaded up a bunch of games and everything was good. [...]
