Hyperion to a Satyr. This Week in Geek (11-17/05/15). I've been wanting to get into Love and Rockets, the comics not the band, so I got the first collection, Maggie the Mechanic, and go from there.

At the movies: Does every genre movie have to spawn a gendrist controversy? Over the course of a week, we see how Eva and her observer interact, and come to wonder who is ...

Well, not really. No flamingo is safe. And Jimmy isn't just recovering escaped birds, he's using the damn thing to market the planet as well! This time, Super...

Funny but true stories from the school to the burbs. Middot; Pop Culture. Because I’m tired of businessmen telling me how to teach. May 8, 2014. May 8, 2014. Money and fame do not automatically make you brilliant and all-knowing. One would think this would go without saying. And yet…. Why, as a society, are we so quick to follow the teachings of the rich and famous? Take for example, the idiots. I’m so tired of people who know nothing about education telling me how I should do my job and how I should be ...

http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-x-files-142-beware-of-dog.html
Hyperion to a Satyr. The X-Files #142: Beware of the Dog. I looked for good and then evil came under me. And I waited for the light and came darkness. The circle is about as good as it's gonna get.
