Bartleby and James

What if Mephistopheles was bored? Yearned for more than just collecting the souls of the inevitably  doomed deal-makers. Everybody needs growth for fulfillment, right? Imagine a guy who, after a millennium of guiding people to their fiery doom, wants more. Imagine that same guy (who dreams of a Scottish farmhouse)  finally gets a chance…to love. Sure, it’s a trite and oft-used device to make a bad guy look good, but what if this bad guy made a deal of his own with the other side? Or better yet, what if he just quits? Turns in his horns and calls it a day. No severance package, no gold watch, nothing. Would his employer be mad? Would he hire a replacement? Would he even let him stop? I’m curious about all of these things. Again, it’s not new territory, and it’s not exactly a substantial story but it might make for an interesting tale…I’m going to have to ruminate on that awhile and see what happens.

Just a man, with a man's courage...

Flash....aaaahhh!

Is there a better combination of film and soundtrack than Queen's power-anthem for Flash Gordon? Not so fast Kenny! Sure your proven track record of amazing movie music cannot be denied, but nothing you've provided has the hard rock drive that Freddie and the boys lent to the second-rate sci-fi classic Flash Gordon. That poor movie. It's not that it's terrible, far from it, but it's lacking in so many ways. I guess you could say it's all Flash and no substance. (yuk, yuk, yuk)

Good ol' Flash Gordon. Not only was he a hero of the 10 yard-fight, but he proved his mettle amongst te stars as well. Not even a perverted game of inverted whack-a-mole could stop Flash from his goal. Now that's a man!

That's all I have for now. Perhaps this should be a more regular and thought out process...

Feelin' Minnesota


Soundgarden. What a very cool name for a band. Let alone, just a cool word in general.

They have a song, i think it's Outshined, that has a line that says (paraphrased) " I'm thinking California, and feelin' Minnesota..."

Well, I'm feelin' Minnesota lately. I'm in a place that doesn't suit me and I'm at a place where I can do something about it. But what?

B. A. Brracus

There is no cure for stress and anxiety when it's caused by your family. That is, no "good" way.

Oh, and the Doctor is out! At least until "late summer" when the second half of season six resumes on BBC America.
