Wherein we read my review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, by J.K. Rowling.
Before we proceed: Spoilers. More than a few, because I have to discuss a few things, particularly the ways in which Rowlng somewhat pissed me off with this seventh novel.
I hate deliberate spoilers. I’ve written a few books myself and know […]

Despite hours of concerted effort by several proctologists, President Bush’s colonoscopy proved unsuccessful.
“We were unable to locate the president’s head,” said Dr. Ken K. Coldfinger. “We have no idea where it might be now.”
However, Coldfinger noted that the procedure was not a complete failure. “At least we were able to remove the vice-president’s arm,” he […]
Think I’ll go for a walk … I feel happy! I feel happy!
You’ve caught me in the middle of a move transition, sigh. That’s what’s been (not) happening here for the last week. And, and and and, midnight tonight is the seventh Harry Potter release.
Well, it might be quiet around here for a few days […]
The Seven-Year Mirror: No Wake
Published by July 10th, 2007 in The Seven-Year Mirror 1: Cool. 1 CommentWell, the posting continues. Here we’re first introduced to Cock, Fan, Rip, Tube and Blade, as well as the arguably shallow lives they lead. Castor is largely a resort planet, and its culture can be quite misogynistic — so don’t think it’s just Blade who gets treated badly there.
Cock’s life is depressing, and so is […]
Fark is having a Photoshop contest, depicting Stephen Colbert as God.

Reality Check? (4 of 5)
Published by July 6th, 2007 in Reality Trumps 'God', O, Pine With Me and One Thousand Words. 0 CommentsWe’re not technologically capable — yet — of literally destroying the world. What we are capable of, however, is rendering its surface utterly inimical to human life. From that rather self-centered perspective alone, then, we should be careful about what we develop, deploy and refine.
It doesn’t matter if we use atomics or fusion weapons. It […]
The Seven-Year Mirror: An Experiment: Prolegomenon
Published by July 2nd, 2007 in The Seven-Year Mirror 1: Cool. 4 CommentsI’m going to try something a little different here, though nothing that’s never been done before. A while back I let a character, Cock, leak onto this blog; he’s actually a principal from a work in progress called The Seven-Year Mirror. Overall I think the narrative is doing well but it’s stalled; I’m going to […]
