At least this tune has 100% less bicycles and icicles than does that Ariana Grande track. And I would listen to this over most of the dreck hitting the airwaves these days anyway...

He’s dead, Jim.

I take my fish oil at night just prior to retiring. My understanding of the science is rudimentary, and I’m not taking it for its supposed cardio-protective benefits, but rather because cholesterol is the building block of hormones, and these hormones are manufactured by the body at night during sleep. So the thinking…

My opinion of Goodkind after having read the first four Sword of Truth novels:

How to stop a bully:

There’s a sequel to Dr. Strangelove in this somewhere.

From my cursory viewing, the movie’s biggest offense is that it seemed to try way too hard to be urban and gritty.

Since the rights have long since reverted to him, I’m waiting for someone—anyone—to get Butcher’s Dresden Files right.

In this enlightened age of two thousand seventeen, pushing the PTSD angle makes sense—it gives a credible, almost Freudian underpinning to Castle’s angst and rage. He’s broken in body and soul—so he lashes out at the ones he blames.

Anyone remember Phineas Gage? The railroad worker who took a tamping rod through the head? And how this changed his personality?

And? Roger Moore was, what, 45 when they lensed Live and Let Die, and turned 46 the year it bowed in theaters. Elba’s age isn’t a stumbling block.

Everyone knows that Pennywise only kills children every 27-30 years; whereas Ronald McDonald has been killing people since the 1950s!
