Crom Arnold
/ Movies / Last evening I introduced Conan (and Arnold Schwarzenegger) to Jan, trying to explain to this twentieth-century woman about comics, cartoons, and movies: twentieth-century boys had comix in their blood, twentieth-century girls typically did not: automatic disapproval, defenses … Continue reading
Celebrities I Don’t Know
/ Chat / I’ve blabbed a few stories involving contact with people who may have later become famous; maybe not, maybe I met somebody who would later remind me of some celebrity. I may have once skied with a teen … Continue reading
Trash Wars
Waste Mismanagement: Space Junk My army buddy Phil wrote a story he called Trash Wars: earthlings worry about trash disposal, landfills are filling up: some clown proposes sending our trash into space: we do; extraterrestrials retaliate: they send our trash … Continue reading

Betting on Job
/ Cosmology / Theology / this didn’t come out the way I wanted, i’ll fix it I’ve always loved the idea of God betting with Satan on Job’s loyalty. I’ve commented on the concept at K. for decades. K. got … Continue reading
Fictional Grace
/ Movies / The 2006 film Amazing Grace tells the story of William Wilberforce’ battle against the slave trade, and tells it very damn well, thank you Michael Apted and cast: wonderfully professional in every detail. thanx lahiguera Hope, Not … Continue reading
00Sean
/ Favorites / Art / I just saw Roger Moore as 007 for the first time: Live and Let Die: what a loathsome title. Then again in the 1960s I loathed everything about the Ian Fleming / Hollywood franchise: the … Continue reading
