Classical, that is. Not like liberal ‘men are gods’ humanist. Actually he comes across as more of an opportunist, because most of the time he’s not philosophical enough to be the other. Which is good, because I doubt any yeoman took philosophy seriously back then, but one wonders why he suddenly becomes so thoughtful toward … More Robin Hood the Humanist
One of these days one of my reviews is going to be about something well-known and sensible, I promise. But it’s just so much fun to write about great obscure works and confuse everybody that I really can’t help myself. Well, I could, but it sounds more excusable if I say I can’t. So for … More Down to the Bone
Again, here is a missing scene from my Naruto/Justice League crossover, Connecting the Dots. This is a section from an earlier chapter, that depicts the Spectre, the Angel of Vengeance doing his job. In the original, he also chatted with Sandman’s Death for a while before going on to talk to Deadman. “Marrel?” As if … More
I’d like to point out that these two are not necessarily related. There are doubtless a great many sane talking puppets in the world, living successful and happy lives as doctors, lawyers, and computer engineers. I have the utmost respect for those puppets. Also, I should point out that a great many of insane puppets … More Insanity and Talking Puppets
The funny thing is, we never sang that at church last night. It’s practically a traditional song to sing at year’s end, in fact it doesn’t really make sense to sing it any other time. But nothing. Maybe we’ll do it on Sunday? December actually annoys me right now. Too many holidays packed in close … More Another Year is Dawning
Technically not correct, as I’m writing this at 12:35, which is barely Christmas Afternoon, to say nothing of Evening. But I was in two minds as whether to post this today or tomorrow, and today won out after I realized I’m going to be spending most of tomorrow with relations. So. As a result of … More Merry Christmas (Eve)
Just to be clear, that title is not referring to a two-headed lady made of tomatoes. Nor, for that matter, is it talking about a female tomato with two heads. No, it’s about a lady who sells tomatoes. And has two heads. What does that have to do with anything? Well, we’ll get there. I’m … More Two-Headed Tomato Ladies
For those unfamiliar, this is a deleted scene from the latest chapter of my Naruto/Justice League Crossover, “Connecting the Dots,” which can be read here. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5736374/1/bConnecting_b_the_bDots_b I will be periodically posting more of these for the interest of my readers on FF.net “Your friends at Ground Zero are going out first. We have some questions, … More Deleted Scene: Connecting the Dots, Exhilaration.
It seems a little cheap, maybe, to write a review of something like the Hobbit, even if it IS an awesome book, and even if it IS the most recent thing I read, and even if it DID recently enter production to make a movie (after many complications from unions and bankrupt movie firms). So … More Tolkien’s Tales.
Seriously, that title practically wrote itself. So. In keeping with the tradition I mentioned two weeks prior, I’m going to be posting up reviews of cool books/movies/comic books I’ve read. This is partly because I’m not comfortable with putting my life on exhibition, partly because my life isn’t worth exhibiting. About the only notable thing … More Rabbits, Rhinos, and Ronin. (Review).
