5.19.2011  I, like most people I know, would like to be in better shape than I am. Where I live and what I do restricts when I can exercise; I don't really find anything like free time until 8:00 pm or so, and then I'm usually not wanting to leave home for a gym, so I'm left with two options. Heavy bag or treadmill.

   The bag has as its advantage that it feels more like play than exercise, so I'm good there. Because it's so enjoyable, though, I'm never quite sure if I'm actually getting a workout.

   The treadmill, on the other hand, quantifies my exercise. I can see I've run x miles. (where, lately, I'm happy to say x = a number greater than one.) The downside? Boring. Boring boring boring.

   The solution? Run while watching zombie movies. Good god, the miles fairly fly by. Truth be told, I find it much easier to endure suspense when I can literally let my body indulge it's flight reflex.

   Also? The Horde is quite good, particularly under these circumstances.

5.19.2010  Fuck Yeah Movie Posters

   Pardon the vulgarity of the title but, uh, it's a pretty appropriate reaction. There's roughly a metric ton of movie flyers. A great way to study compare and contrast different visual design styles or just to pick up a neat desktop background series.

5.19.2009  Look, I generally think it's sort of crass for someone who runs a website freely offered for the enjoyment of all to hint at gifts he wouldn't mind receiving from readers. For Father's Day, f'rinstance. ( coming up in a month, you say? really? ) Or Flag Day. If I were to entertain such thoughts I would not be picky.

   Of course such behavior would put at risk the journalistic objectivity I have striven to bring to each entry over the last decade. I have asked for so little, selflessly toiling and scarcely profiting from the dot com decade. Not that I mind, not that I'm complaining or would have it any other way.

   I'm just sayin' that I've always been a big fan of Gothic Revival architecture. I mean, it's not neo-Georgian or nothing but I'm not close minded. I think if I had the right place to hang my hat I could probably swing relocating my happy homestead to San Francisco.

5.19.2009  Wondermark

   Aha! I have found a new webcomic. Inasfar as I can tell at this early stage of reading it is composed of equal parts wonder and raw, unfettered brilliance.





   Sort of The Deluxe Transitive Vampire thing going on blending Victorian art with the absurd.
