SHOCKtober recap: Horror Mini-Reviews
October being ... well, October, I spent a lot of time watching and reading horror stuff, much of which wasn't actually on my to-read/to-watch list. We're talking new horror comics, some old horror comics, and at least one novel that I grabbed from the public library. But I did knock a few things off the …
Cancellation is Freedom
As you know, I ahve a spreadsheet that I use to keep track of all of the unread and unwatched media for my Uncollecting project. Two of the columns on the sheet are: "Do I own this?" and "If not, where can I get it?" For books, I indicate that I can find them at …

Personal Archaeology 34: Last Drafts
As I moved through these old creative writing notebooks, I had a feeling that they were going to get less and less interesting as far as the content inside was concerned. The first few years were filled with random assignments, an entire conversation with an old girlfriend, and tons of cringe-worth and vomit-laded poetry (literally). …
