…what I've been up to, more or less…

9.0 William Gibson: Spook Country

I often say Gibson is my favorite author, when I’m not saying Vonnegut is. This one didn’t disappoint. He takes you away to a future-feeling present with tight smart prose, and several interwoven plot lines with his as-always cool-as-ice...
8.5 The Banger Sisters

You could have probably heard me groan when I first heard the premise for this movie – about two women in midlife, one who never “grew up” and one who did a 180, rejecting her wild past. But they pulled it off with style (and lots of great lines from Goldie, she rocked :> ). And...
9.5 Massive Attack – Paradise Circus (Breakage’s Tight Rope remix)

I didn’t pick up on this song until TapTapRevenge gave it away for free, and I realized I already had it on my iPhone. 10 years ago, my friend Zac didn’t appreciate the subtleties of Massive Attack, instead preferring more-direct bands like slipknot and Powerman 5000 that got right to...
9.5 Fallout New Vegas

8.5 IMAX Attack of the Clones

Had a good time watching this one – beautiful panoramic scenes filling your vision while you can feel the bass of huge spaceships with those great Star Wars sound effects move your clothing. And of course who could get bored watching a 50 foot tall Natalie Portman? Ready for the next big...
9.0 Dandy Warhols: The Last High, Godless

The Dandies are great, and these two songs alone can keep you zenned out. Gotta get their new album...
9.0 Dodgeball

Vince in classic form. Evil Ben. Rocks. Go see it. End of story. And stick around afterwards for “Fatty did a...
10.0 TEDx Talks, Raleigh

If you don’t know what TED Talks are, they are 15-minute talks on Really Important and Inspiring Topics, meant to quickly educate and inspire you. They have been going on for quite a while. Bill Gates famously released mosquitos at one talk, and explained his plan for extracting energy from...
