So back when I started this blog, it was right at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown. I pretty much had nothing to do other than sit around, watch movies and write about them. Consequently, I was able to get 3-4 written a week, and built up a buffer of several months worth of reviews. … Continue reading Upcoming Schedule Change

No Reviews Next Week
Just a quick programming note. I'm getting my second COVID vaccine shot today, and given how I felt after the first round I doubt I'm going to be up to doing any writing over the weekend. Regularly scheduled posts will begin again on April 19th

I Live!…..again
So, it's been an interesting month here in America, hasn't it? I'm pretty sure that I don't need to go into everything that's happened since my last post, even for my international readers. We'll just say that there have been plenty of distractions being thrown at me over the past 30 days or so. So … Continue reading I Live!…..again
I’m Still Alive!
I didn't intend to take an entire month off from posting, but here we are. I mostly blame the release of two long-awaited (for me, at least) pieces of media on back-to-back weeks: Brandon Sanderson's book Rhythm of War, which clocked in at 1200 pages; and Shadowlands, the new World of Warcraft expansion, which got … Continue reading I’m Still Alive!
No posts next week
Sorry everyone, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take next week off from posting. As you might be able to guess, I've spent the last couple days hitting Refresh every 11 seconds on the election map page, and therefore haven't gotten any of my movie watching done. Hopefully things will return to normal … Continue reading No posts next week
No Posts This Week
I'm officially taking this week off. As of last week, I'm finally back to a full work schedule at both of my regular jobs. Which is great, as it's been more than five months since my last shift at the college. However, that means that the movie watching and writing schedule I've gotten used to … Continue reading No Posts This Week

This virus still sucks
Sorry about missing a couple of posts over the last week or so. We had a positive COVID diagnosis in my household, and while no one else got sick (and the person who did has recovered), we still all had to quarantine for 14 days. With that, and the testing and tracing that we all … Continue reading This virus still sucks
