Best TV scene ever?
Or just the best acting?
SyFy’s Seven Werewolf Movies
Of course I have slightly different choices/emphases—that’s part of the fun of making lists: they’re always unique to you, and always and definitely “right”—but, man, I really dig the stills they cycled through for this: As for my, say, top THREE, it’d be more like, in this order from left to right (though it may
Best of 2019 so far: the February post
Usually don’t put words in these, but this is the first for the year, and this year’s going to look different. Not just the running title (different titles make them easier to search), but how movie and tv heavy these’ll all likely be for at least the first half of the year. Because? Reading for
Noveling the Novella
Oh, man, this thing I’m writing, it’s one word away from clicking over into official novel land. And it’s almost two-thirds done, maybe, hopefully: Would jam through to the end in a few days, but I got a script-thing and a story on February deadline, and, I mean, February is coming up pretty fast .
Cleaned up the story links
Needed to find a story for somebody, made a wrong click, stumbled into a dead link, and found that, over the last three or four months, man, a lot of those story links have quit going anywhere good. Apologies for that. I miss “Bestiary” being out there, readable. And, goodbye to “Hemingway Hills in the
Galaga Riser DIY / How-to
Which, before I get into it, let me say: I’m the last dude who should ever do a how-to on anything, except maybe writing a novel or a story. But maybe not even that. However, got one of those 3/4 scale 1-Up Galaga machines for Christmas, and of course love love love it. However? I’m
So cool to look back
The “Though it hasn’t yet posted a profit” part is maybe the best, here, though “electronic mail” and “cellular phone” are pretty fun too: Crazy, too, remembering how revolutionary this was, once upon a time. The world was changing with each word he said, yes? Too, of course, Bowie saw it all coming:
Midland, TX, via Hollywood
I mean, really, except for the contour of the land and the vivid green everywhere and the way the people wear their jeans and boots, the fifth season of Monk pretty much nailed where I grew up:
The Magic of Comics
I love finding panels and pages and tricks and storytelling that only works on the comic book page, then throwing it up on the screen for my students. Panels and pages like these:
Pumpjacks
Man, West Texas on The Simpsons, after, what? Thirty years? Worth the wait: Now I just need to composite this ancient-old “Simpsons yourself” trick into that pasture and it’ll be like I’m a real guest star:
Making a list and checking it twice
I assume: Cedar Hollow’s year-end best-of. Honored to have a certain yellow book included:
Chuckywolf
Just wanted to say that, really. But, to be more precise: excellent stack of books to be in:
Best Articles from . . . Lately
Decided to do this as a list this time, instead of letting some of them auto-embed—felt messy, having both kinds of links/previews. So, here’s the best of what I’ve been reading lately: “Crackdown on sexist ads outlaws bad female driver and inept dad commercials“ “Brandon Hobson on Recovering Cherokee Myths from His Grandfather’s Notebook“ “What
