Part of the reason I love Doctor Who so much is that we have so much in common.

The coolest thing about police interrogation rooms anywhere in the country is that they all look exactly like they do in the movies or on TV.

For example, if a woman suddenly finds herself consumed by an unexpected, libidinous… Read full post »

New, from the creators of "Little Sisters of Mercy" and "Gwar Bears," it's the adventures of that loveable, wretched scamp with a heart of coal, Rezzy!

This is the final entry in my series, Objects in Motion.

Yesterday: Andrew.
The day before that: Newcastle.

This is another part of in my series, Objects in Motion.

The crappy punk band was about three quarters of the way through its crappy set when Rafaela caught a glimpse of Noah's face in the crowd. He looked exactly the same as he did the last time she had seen him--the only difference being a pair of cheap, plastic sunglasses. She… Read full post »

Long ago, I was cleaning out the rain gutter crowning my old home in back New Mexico. Because I was a teenager, I was really fucking stupid. Rather than employing a ladder or a solid surface of any kind, I chose to stand on one of those green, wide-lidded mini-dumpster things… Read full post »
