My heart-healthy shopping list.

(And hopefully low-sugar too?  I honestly don’t know.  My girlfriend told me that grapes and mangoes have a lot of sugar in them, and that seems cosmically unfair.)

Disclaimer — I am a neophyte when it comes to any kind of diet.  I cannot replace your doctor, no matter how much the idea might appeal to you.  But feel free to refer to this, if you can read my disordered,  hyperactive chicken-scratch.  (Under the “Yes” column, for example, it is supposed to be “B-E-A-N-S,” and not “bears.”)

My source here is primarily the Mayo Clinic.  But I also had help from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and from my girlfriend, who is far smarter than me in all subjects, except possibly free-verse poetry and 1990’s-era comic book villains.



The Cybertruck.

This is the first time I’ve seen one in the wild.

If you’re my kind of weird, then you immediately thought of the Landmaster vehicle from 1977’s “Damnation Alley.”



Breakfast at The Texas Tavern.

Super-fast, super-cheap, super-good.  I even chatted with the cook about comic books.

I do love this little Southern city.

Update — tried to befriend a feisty sparrow on the way home today. But they’re fickle about who they mix with.



The Piker Press features my review of Alex Garland’s “Civil War” (2024)

Hey, gang — I got my first movie review published!  Thanks so much to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski at The Piker Press for letting me share my take on Alex Garland’s “Civil War” (2024).

You can read it right here.

“Release Me — The Original Love Mix,” by ScorpioStatic!

Just another kickass techno track from one of my greatest friends from my college days — ScorpioStatic!  (His secret identity is Jason Buckland.)



Enjoy this short story.

So I finally located that cache of shorts in storage that I was looking for.  Now I can finally dress for the hot weather.  Sorry about my blinding white legs, Roanoke.

How white are they?  Let’s just say I hope you didn’t throw out your eclipse-viewing glasses.



(One character could have a vampire bat.)

Gonna write a baseball-centered, period vampire novel with loads of erotic subtext; gonna call it  “Interview With the Umpire.”



Throwback Thursday: “Highlander” (1986)!

I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie.  I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.

Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made.  Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?

It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though.  (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.)  Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.
