Just running through the things on my mind: -Downloaded the Kindle App for the iPhone today. It was free. Love the idea, but can't read it for long stretches at a time. Be good for a ride on the PATH or sitting and waiting for something, but it's not a thing where I can read 100 pages and not go bli...

Been a while since I've done a writing post, but since I believe in talking about the process, I thought I'd pop in on my progress with the next book. I'm in the middle of the fourth draft of the book, and it's proving to be a major re-write. That's fine, I'm really excited about it. But at the same...

Oh, man, I crack myself up sometimes. I went to see He's Just Not That Into You this afternoon, and figured I'd dash off a few lines about it now. It's a romantic comedy where women (mostly) learn that guys often don't like you, but women play games in their heads and think that men do you like you....

-Guard Mike Rosario is exhausted. Most of his 3 point shots are hitting front rim, and then he overshoots on the next one. His best moments are when he drives to the basket for lay-ups. But it looks like all the pressure on him to be the guy, plus taking on the top defenses is taking its toll. I thi...

Gonna pop in the DVD right now. So get yours in too and let's play along! 7:46: DVD is in the X Box--heh, X-Files on the X Box and getting ready to start. Hopefully it's a fun flick to tease. 7:47: Now I checked out on the X-Files series about a season after the movie came out, when the story got to...

Holden Carver is a super hero spy undercover in a terrorist organization. When his handler is shot and put into a coma, Carver is left afloat in between two organizations, trying to stay alive and not give up his cover. That's the basic set up for this four graphic novel set. It's a hell of a lot mo...

Another term in the Dave White High School lexicon. Munitz (moo-nit-z) came from my friend's father. He claimed it was Italian for junk or garbage. I'm not sure, I've never looked it up. In fact, it could have been Italian-Jersey slang--for all I know. (If you've ever seen The Sopranos, you know wha...

New Jersey has had its share of corrupt politicians. We are, perhaps, the most corrupt state in the Union (and yes, that makes us awesome). If you remember about 3 years ago, we had a governor named James McGreevey. He was married, handsome, young, a typical politician. Except he was gay. And he was...

Frustrating. When it comes down it, that's the most positive and negative review I can give this movie. If you haven't seen this movie, Will Smith plays a drunk, loser super hero who destroys everything in his path. The city hates him, the criminals hate him, and he hates himself. Until he meets a P...

As opposed to things I've learned in 2008: First the easy ones: -Villains are bad shots, egomaniacs, and will explain their entire plan to you while trying to kill you slowly. -A good quip to a woman behind a hotel desk, airport check in, or border patrol will cause her to lie to government official...
