He Doesn't Realize
My love got another tattoo. The phrase that is now etched along his upper back is eloquent, and very fitting. No Hero is Proof Against Injury. What makes this all the more interesting is that he does not believe h… -
Could it be?

Reflections on a Passing Moment
My writing is often impetuous, thought out only in the moments my fingers strike the keys. This is no different. I feel compelled to write. The drive is beyond any reasonable sense of control. Why is this? … -

Crichton Can't Catch a Break
I put up with the first two Jurassic Park films. I put up with the film version of Timeline. At least these films were marginally close to the fantastic tales woven by Michael Crichton. I have read a great majori… -
Priorities People
On Monday this week, the local papers (The Province, Vancouver Sun, Metro and 24 Hours) ran as their top story, the grief of the masses over not a child, not a nation, but over a dead monkey. Yes, the monkey, Joc… -

So I saw Iron Man today, or rather yesterday now. It was spectacular. In fact, I would argue that it is the best Marvel film adaptation to date. This is quite the statement coming from me, as anyone who knows me is w…
