Top Five Novels I’d Like to See Filmed. Resurrected Post.
August 7, 2016 Top Five Novels I’d Like to See Filmed For every film made based on a novel there are a hundred books optioned but not green-lit. For every book optioned but not filmed there a hundred thousand not optioned. Many of the latter two categories read as pretty cinematic to me.

Oregon Brewers Festival 2016. Resurrected Post.
July 31, 2016 Oregon Brewers Festival 2016 Once again beer takes over the web log. This week saw the 29th annual Oregon Brewers Festival sprawl across the Portland waterfront.

My recent reading consisted, in part, of slogging through Ian Esslemont’s “Dancer’s Lament” and Steven Erikson’s “Fall of Light.” These two books are a couple data points of observable phenomena supporting my hypothesis.… Continue reading Malazan is Falling.

It’s Criminal. Resurrected Post.
July 10, 2016 It’s Criminal I suppose the appropriate thing for me today would be to write about last week’s Westercon.

Country music holds a tradition… Continue reading It’s Criminal. Resurrected Post.
Brak the Barbarian. Resurrected Post.
July 3, 2016 Brak the Barbarian John Jakes, you magnificent bastard. Brak the Barbarian served up a feast, complete with tankard of ale and haunch of beef, dripping with its own juices.

June 26, 2016 Monterrey Supplemental: Beer.

But this particular gringo is always sniffing out the local craft brew scene.… Continue reading Monterrey Supplemental: Beer and Miscellaneous Updates. Resurrected Post.
