Just seven days. . .

SOME OTHER PEOPLE by GENE HILL The spring air was not sweet and in the DOT it was sticky and tasted of over-boiled coffee. The numbers slowly belled, "157. 158. 159. . ." "What number are you again, mother?" "163." She said, squinting down the bridge of nose and bifocals...

A sixty-four year-old woman is finally getting a sweet sixteen, and all the excessive children are being born on excessive time. Yay for Leap Year.

Oh, that Entropy. He's not happy unless he's doing things in his own way, all crazy fang-like and full of tomfoolery. Rather than pick a simple property, or franchise, or genre, or something that gives people snuggly soft boundaries to work in, he has to go and throw you up the creek without a...

So really, what IS more impressive. The fact that we could and did develop the technology to travel to and then set foot on the moon; or the fact that we not only could conceive of the notion that the Moon was a place that could be traveled to, but then verify that notion, gather the resources...

You know, all that talk of trying to get McCheese and Houde to duel in the Greatest Member thread got me thinking, "could anyone here beat ME in a fight?" And the simple answer is. . . no, no they couldn't. However, I decided to be fair and give them (i.e. YOU) a chance to rebut. So...

I got a call yesterday from my cousin to discover I had a free plane flight and five-day stay in San Fransisco this Thursday. The first thing I'm going to do is go down to In and Out Burger and get a double-double animal style. What should I do after that though?

Just got a new joypad for my computer for Christmas, so I've been doing a little retro-gaming. Anybody here a fan? I've got fond, fond memories of playing the original as a young 'un, and now I discover I'm also pretty kick-*** at Descent 2 (D2X) as an adult. Seriously, anybody who hasn't...

Basically the title says it all. I'm always looking for something new or different to listen too. I always like to recommend things to people to listen too. So, let's all share. Post an album and a write-up of it. You don't have to go into too much detail, but try and give some basic info...

Alright boys and girls, today's entre is presented to you by me but selected by one chef moonmaster. Do what you will, make a sequel, spin-off or even (somehow) remake one of the films from THE TARANTINO-VERSE Just to clarify, the films specifically are-- Resevoir Dogs Pulp Fiction...

Yes, yes, yes, a fine and short little quiz designed to gauge how much like me you are. Who's up to the challenge? Remember, some questions have specific answers and some have very specific answers. And don't worry if you get a few wrong, the scoring system is done on a Base-2 scale. 1...

Ok, so sue me, I like The Golden Girls. In fact, I damn near love it. In fact, anymore it's gotten to the point that I can't go to sleep until after I've watched a double dose of it on Lifetime. So, without further ado, who's your favorite? And don't try being, "oh, I never watched The...

I'm looking for someone who can design a font for me. However, I've got a specific want that I'm not sure can be done. See, I'm currently working on a collection of interlocking short stories, and one of the primary characters of several of them is grapheme synesthete. For those who don't...

Just like the title says. What are your favorite things right now. I've made up a quick list of fifteen that I'll post here. It's by no means inclusive, so if people want to suggest additions, go for it. Anyways, here's the list. RIGHT NOW, MY FAVORITES ARE. . . Movie : Music : TV Show ...

Scorcese won. About damn time. That is all.

A short piece I just finished hammering out (after a blackout ;)) Anyways, I'm posting it splintery rough, no editing or anything. I will post a polished verison later, but I want to get my original thoughts out there right now, just to get some feedback and because I have a tendency to...

And here it is. Let's discuss great vampire movies people.

Where is the thread for this? It damn well needs one. I just saw this earlier and was completely surprised. I expected at least a fun action movie, but this was like Guy Ritchie directing a Michael Mann flick crazy. Who else has seen it?

A bit of short fiction I just finished, looking for feedback. Enjoy My Murder Ballad by Gene Hill There is a cemetery under the highway. In the shadow of 235 West you'll find it, right by the exit ramp. A little spot of forgotten ground that no houses stand by, fenced off in cast-iron and...

I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but in Time Magazines 100 Greatest Novels from 1923 till present, Watchmen was included on the list, the only graphic work to be included. The list itself assigns no numbering system, but on the readers choice rankings, Watchmen managed to score the...
