Dear Ms. Kinney,
What’s the best way to dispose of a body?
Thanks,
Purely Hypothetical
To Whom it May Concern:
Body disposal is not a hypothetical matter. It is a concrete problem solved with the tools at hand. If you know ahead of time that you will have a corpse, make [...]

On the breaking of many things, not least of which, Kings.

Spoilers for X-Men: Kingbreaker follow, also War of Kings, most recent X-Men comics, and some allusions to other Marvel titles.
One of the ideas my friends and I toss around is the concept of a “Phoenix Corps.” Sort of like the Green Lantern Corps from DC Comics, only with a small team of women imbued [...]

Advice Column

Here’s a meme from my LiveJournal FList –
Ask any character I’ve written or Role-played for advice, and they will provide it, advice columnist style. Your problems or fictional characters’ problems both welcome. Management is not responsible for the results of following said advice (especially if provided by Rachel Summers-Grey or Starbuck.)
Helpful list of characters I’ve [...]

I like lists.

1. I heard the band BLK JKS on Studio 360. Downloaded the mini-album, Mystery, from Zune Marketplace. This strikes me as exactly how art is supposed to spread — Kurt Anderson interviews this South African band on their trip to Los Angeles for a concert, I hear the interview three weeks [...]

Love and adoration

1. My son, M, has been saving his allowance.
M is five and half years old. And M has . . . great difficulty, sometimes, maintaining a train of thought or focusing on a goal. Yet despite this issue, he has saved his money for six weeks to buy the Nerf N-Strike Longshot [...]

Clean off desk

find tax info
teach school
go to The Works learning center with the kids
lunch
transfer Doctor Who “Battlefield” to Lockheed (my Zune player)
nap
go to work
But I have some blogging thoughts, first. I’ve [...]

Let the Right One In

This is a really, really good film.
If you were a powerless twelve-year-old boy being bullied, why wouldn’t you let the attractive vampire girl in?
All the questions I had about Twilight, all the questions of motivation are answered here. Here we have the vampire, who is entirely not-a-human. Not anymore. And we get [...]

Not what you want to hear.

My doctor looked up my nose and said “Wow.” So, drugs for a sinus infection.
I did get new comics today, but I’m not at all certain when I will get to read them. On the other hand, the family has a working bicycle pump. This is vital as it enables my stir-crazy [...]
