I feel that this article really buried the lead by only mentioning Rogelio's new telenovela in the penultimate sentence.

This is the kind of insufferable pedantry that makes people roll their eyes in exasperation and that I would have posted myself if you hadn't beaten me to it.

Not a novel, I suppose, but I found Joseph Anton immensely frustrating. I suppose that most autobiographies have unreliable narrators, but it was off-putting to be reading the book with one eyebrow constantly raised in skepticism.

It's not even an interview, really — that usually implies a Q&A with a single subject. It's an actual, honest-to-Bob article, and to see it smeared with the name "oral history" makes me sigh.

True enough.

I'm so glad someone else remembers the superior "Newsroom". Now that the Aaron Sorkin version is around, it's like the earlier one never existed as far as Google is concerned.

And both of which are better than Daniel Powter's "Bad Day".

I love how (as of this writing) the Amazon links are to "Sweet Child of Mine", a children's book, and "Rolling in the Deep", a fantasy/horror novel about man-eating mermaids.

I'd pay to see that.

From the sound of it, that would seriously have been an apt title for the first few drafts of the novel.

"Paradigm"

Human Kirk continues to find steady work, and yet Cat Kirk hasn't had a screen appearance in years. Typical Hollywood.

I'm disappointed that they didn't get Ian McShane to reprise his role as King Saul.

I can only hope that this new project is as deliriously and wonderfully insane as The Rock's previous sci-fi comedy work, namely Southland Tales.

They finally found a way to make paintball cool again!

I spent an embarrassingly long time avoiding Buffy the Vampire Slayer because one of my fellow students in grad school loved it to pieces and he always managed to rub me the wrong way. A few years after he graduated and was out of my hair, I tried out Buffy and realized I had been an idiot.

How about something hemispherical? Like a cauldron?

Kart Life, huh? I can only assume that confidence is a preference for habitual voyeurs of that show.

I use Lynx.

I hang out near sheds where hops are drying, because I ain't afraid of no oast.
