This is a list of archived entries published in December 2006.
Just a reminder, be sure to visit The Snow Miser’s Cooler, which I’ve run for more than seven years now. This month my visits have more than tripled (as usual) thanks to Snow Miser fans. It’s good to know a puppet from a thirty-year-old Christmas special is way more popular than I am.
But I kid [...]
I thought I’d squeeze one last blog entry in before Christmas. Today I blog to you from sunny Simi Valley, where today temperatures were in the 50s…much like New England at the moment. I’m staying with DG’s family for my first Christmas away from home. As I jot this down, DG and her family are [...]
I went through a lot of toy fads as a child—He-Man, Star Wars, Godzilla, Robocop, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, just to name a few—but none had so long and successful a run in my interest as Transformers. I was into Transformers for almost five years, I think, from ages five to ten, and then [...]
So it’s Christmastime again. Ever since I left my parents’ house, Christmas seems to go one of two ways for me: either I go all-out and Christmasize my life to the max, or December flies by and before I know it, Santa has come and gone and I’m a year older (because my birthday give [...]
Apologies for the lack of updates, but there’s just not much to report lately.
DG is at a conference in San Diego this week, so I’ve had the apartment to myself. That means I get a whole week of the apartment relatively clean and uncluttered, the way I like it.
This week has confirmed for [...]
Came across this article in which Hellboy director Guillermo Del Toro says he’s trying to film a trailer to convince Warner Brothers to finance his big-budget adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. Apparently the studios are “very nervous about the cost and it not having a love story or a happy ending,” [...]
Recently, with all the love being lavished upon the Wii by the likes of Ed and Robin, I considered the possibility of requesting a Wii rather than an Xbox 360 (my birthday comes four days after Christmas, so these days I tend to just ask my parents for one big gift for both Christmas and [...]
I’m only about a week behind on this, but the first story arc of the third season of Veronica Mars wrapped up last week, ending the story of the Hearst College rapist in a twist was a bit too much like Scream.
For those who have never heard of Veronica Mars, it’s probably my favorite show [...]
I hate it when websites have terrible search engines. It seems especially common with sites who should know better. The immediate impetus for this complaint is Salon, whose search provides results in no discernible order and no method of sorting them by date or relevance. And this is Salon—ostensibly a literary magazine whose archive of [...]
