Time Warp: The Greatest Cult Films Ever Made Part 2, Horror and Sci-Fi and Part 3, Comedy and Camp: I enjoyed the first parts of this and was eagerly waiting to watch the other two. Part 2 is the gem of all three because of its focus on genres that for years were on the …

Check Me Out on “Dial F for Flanger”!
Paul Hix (Waiting for Doom, DCOCD, The Gary Show) recently had me on his podcast Dial F for Flanger. Over the course of the show, I got into the background of The Uncollecting, my collecting habits, and we also talked about getting older and what's going to happen to our stuff after we leave. It …

The Week in Uncollecting, 8/2/21-8/14/21
Yeah, I realize that's two weeks, but I didn't get a post in last week, so it's big update time sorta. I'm winding down the summer (in fact, I go back to work on Monday) and while I can say I have accomplished my podcasting and writing goals (for the most part), there was a …
Personal Archaeology 18: That One Summer
Part of my 1994-1995 scrapbook project. At left: an essay about being in Paris. At right: a page of all of us taking pictures of each other taking pictures at the top of The Arc De Triomphe. Among the three notebooks (and several folders of MS Word files) I have left from my personal journal …
Personal Archaeology 17: When I Was A Teacher Blogger
On my phone, there's a screencap from an old Innovative Educator post that begins "The unspoken truth about teaching writing in school is that few people doing so are writers themselves."* The first two paragraphs of the post I screencapped. I removed distinguished characteristics of the blog, but you can Google all of this to …

I'm also on my final ten movies on …
The Week in Uncollecting, 7/25/21-7/31/21
After a really productive week, a bit of a lull, as I started two books and have spent much of my downtime watching the Olympics. But I've got a few things of note here, one of which is that my movie list grew because Kanopy put a bunch of new documentaries and other films I'd …
Return of the Writing Pile
A little more than two years ago, I wrote about how, in the twenty years since I graduated college, I have written a lot but actually never considered myself a Writer. Much of that has to do with the lack of formally published works, which I could blame on gatekeeping if I ever actually stepped …
The Week in Uncollecting, 7/18/21-7/24/21
A rather productive week, at least when it comes to comic books this week, as I wound my way through the remaining books in my "to read" shortbox, and also finished a book and have been working my way through a couple of television shows (although there's nothing to really "report" here). So let's get …
