Wednesday, December 05, 2012. Guess what, kids! It's time to play. Who's Searching for me Now? Someone in Newnan, Georgia found this blog early this morning (my time) by "bing-ing" "ben varkentine." To the best of my knowledge I do not know anyone in Newnan, Georgia. I don't even know anything about it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There are things that machines will never do.".

Sunday, December 30, 2012. Oh, hells' bells. I just heard, via News From Mark Evanier. That smart guy Peter David has suffered a stroke. David's "stuff" (that's what he calls himself, "writer of stuff") has included some of my favorite books and comics over the years, and his column for the Comics Buyers' Guide. As Mark says, this is one of those moments when all one can do is wish him a speedy recovery, which I certainly do. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There are things that machines will never do.".

Thursday, December 13, 2012. You knew what culture we live in when you chose not to put on underwear, Mrs. Hathaway (Updated with addition). Update: Apparently no, no I am not. Okay, I've been sitting on this one for a day or two, but I have to ask: Am I the only one whose heart is not all-aflutter at Anne Hathaway's saying. I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality of unwilling participants,". And/or who thinks Hathaway's "wardrobe malfunction. Yeah, neither does anybody else. A Jed...

Dictionopolis in Digitopolis/A Dragon Dancing with the Buddha 2005-2013: We've lost our lease! Everything must go!
http://varkentine.blogspot.com/2013/01/weve-lost-our-lease-everything-must-go.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. We've lost our lease! I'm thinking of declaring this blog "closed." Since I've been on Facebook. The number of postings here has gone way down- since October I've done less than 10, and this will be my first and probably only entry for the entire month of January. The reason for that is simply that on "social media," you (or at least I) get more response. So why am I telling you all this? Seriously- is anybody still reading this anymore- more to the point, anyone who isn't.

Sunday, November 25, 2012. It's that time again, folks. "That time" being the second of my twice-yearly metaphorical awkward clearing of the throat and nudge of the head towards my Amazon.com wish list. You'll find it to your right. Thank you as always for your consideration. PS: Oh, again, as with the birthday subtle hint, of course the items/downloads need not only be purchased from Amazon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, September 28, 2012. A time I never lived in. These are the kinds of images (and sounds- it's Miles Davis playing "It Never Entered My Mind") which make me feel nostalgic for such a time. One of my answers to the question: When and where would you go if you had an actual TARDIS? Has long been: The late '40s, Los Angeles. Oh, and h/t M. Evanier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, October 06, 2012. To the small % of you that will get the significance of this. Was seen leaving a bar recently. Yeah, I know. So what else is new? The bar she was leaving? The reason she was there? Attending a birthday party for somebody named Ben. She's calling me, I tell you. Wednesday, October 03, 2012. That's right, envy me. I totally had this. Ah for the days when it was exciting for one "action figure" to hand another a brown manila folder. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Now, here's Ben.
