Serenity

Posted by Mark | Filed under Movies, Reviews

As my long time read­ers might recall, I watched a show called Fire­fly a while back and greatly enjoyed it. This week, thanks to one of my co-workers, I had an opporunity to drive 5 & 1/2 hours to plant my butt in a packed movie the­ater at 10 o’clock with a bro­ken air conditioner. […]

Posted by Mark | Filed under Links, Reviews

Later today, I’ll be post­ing PLotW1 but before that hap­pens here’s a dif­fer­ent link that you should really check out.

The Wheel of Time is a series of books by Robert Jor­dan. The series started out very promis­ingl, inter­est­ing char­ac­ters, good descrip­tions, bet­ter dia­log than I could ever come up with but the last cou­ple of books, Cross­roads of Twi­light in par­tic­u­lar, have failed to deliver on that early promise.

Speaking of TV shows

Posted by Mark | Filed under Reviews

I also hap­pened to catch tonight’s CSI and while I enjoyed it; I did feel some­what cheated. See, Wil Wheaton was one of tonight’s guest stars and since I reg­u­lar read Mr. Wheaton’s blog I’d been rather look­ing for­ward to this episode.
