Did Anyone See a Blog Around Here?
I swear, I used to have a blog around here somewhere. Probably lost under all this Facebook, Twitter, and various other social media stuff. I actually meant to update it recently, being as it was my birthday, and I was on vacation, and I had some really deep insights into the meaning of life and [...]
Jury Duty Sucks
Polk County has seen fit yet again, for the second time in two years, to call me for jury duty. Wow. A chance to do my civic duty. Great.
Yeah, not really.
It’s a friggin’ hour drive to Bartow to the court house, way too early in the morning. Then I get to spend the day attempting [...]
Henson Exhibit at the Orlando History Center
Yeah, I know…you read the title and said “Orlando has a History Center?” Yes, indeed it does. The Orlando History Center is nestled downtown in a historic old courthouse building and is a gem of a find for a local sick of roller coasters and dacing hippos.

Now mostly made up of abandoned brick buildings, it has become the home of the Lucasfilm empire. Lucasfilm has been working for a few years now to create a new, state [...]

Revenge of the Sith Screening
If you’d told me back in 1977, at nine years old, that I’d be seeing the last of the Star Wars movies in 2005 in a theater with George Lucas, well, I’d have probably responded with a “coooool!” and gone off to go and battle imaginary foes with my home-made lightsaber.
Time and the wisdom gained [...]
REVIEW: Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
First off, let me start off my review by saying I liked “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones”. No, they don’t measure up to the original trilogy in terms of story or emotional involvement to me, but they had some incredible visuals, some great characters, and the lightning storm Jedi swashbuckling that has [...]
