Tiptree Ale
At F&SF, after a long day of reading slush, Gordon and I like to kick back with a refreshing Tiptree Ale, “The Only Neat Thing to Brew.”

A History of Violence
Just watched A History of Violence. Um, wow. What a over-rated, melodramatic piece of crap. One of the astounding things about it is just how uniformly terrible the acting was throughout. William Hurt’s performance was worthy of an Oscar nod? And *this* was one of the best adapted screenplays? Was the Academy watching the same movie I just watched? There was no sense of verisimilitude at all, and the movie felt completely tensionless.
Yeck. What a horrible, horrible film.
Exhibit 3
Okay, well this doesn’t really have anything to do with Exhibits 1 or 2, but you could kind of see him lurking in the background, so I figured I might as well show you my Buddha-like cookie jar.
Exhibit 2
My memory card in front of the gigantic box it arrived it, to demonstrate scale.
And here I was wondering why in the hell it costs like $6 to mail me this tiny memory card, which weighs like 2 ounces, even with the blister pack. Now I know.

CAMERA OBSCURA: April 2006
Intergalactic Medicine Show just published the first installment of my new “small screen” or TV/DVD review column, CAMERA OBSCURA. In the column, I review the first three episodes of season one of the new Dr. Who.
I expect a lot of people will disagree with my opinion, so let the hating begin!
Dread Gets Wasted
SCI FI Wire just published a piece I wrote about Charlee Jacob’s two Stoker award nominations.
Keepers Examines Abuse
SCI FI Wire just published a story I wrote about Gary Braunbeck’s Stoker Award nomination for best novel, Keepers.
And yes, working two stories out of one interview does kick ass.
Me & Grandpa
Went to visit my grandfather at his nursing home today. Took this pic (and some others) while I was there.
