Why would anyone have strong opinions about music videos at all? If you don’t like it, stop watching, it’s not like you paid to watch it.

We are talking about a guy who thinks that being 750 lbs. overweight has no correlation with terrible health. His reasoning is clearly faulty.

I was just going to say he must be a character from a Lewis Carroll book, but then I realized he isn’t nearly endearing enough to qualify.

He also can’t read.

His debauchery must be his way of compensating.

Do you have any hopes/ideas for X-XII?
Time

I want the destruction of the Sun Crusher Starkiller to have ripped a massive hole in the fabric of spacetime, destablizing the barriers between the infinite universes, causing them all to bleed into one another and wreck cosmic havoc until all the god-like entities of the Marvel Universe step in to set things right.

And yes, a countless number of Death Stars – and at least one mini-Death Star – would factor into the plot.

21 THINGS ALANIS MORISSETTE WANT IN A LOVER

Read Ms. Morissette’s wants (not particularly needs) below and see how you qualify as a potential lover.


  1. Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
  2. Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
  3. Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know that it alone does not equate wisdom?
  4. Do you see everything as an illusion?
  5. But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
  6. Are you both masculine and feminine?
  7. Politically aware?
  8. And don’t believe in capital punishment?
  9. Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
  10. Are you funny?
  11. Self-deprecating?
  12. Like adventure?
  13. And have many formed opinions?
  14. Are you uninhibited in bed?
  15. More than three times a week?
  16. Up for being experimental?
  17. Are you athletic?
  18. Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
  19. Are you not addicted?
  20. Curious?
  21. Communicative?

Here are my answers:

  1. Yes.
  2. Is this a trick question? I can’t tell if you’re asking if I do or don’t play dirty. If the former, then yes. If the latter, then no.
  3. Yes.
  4. Yes.
  5. No.
  6. This begs the question: What is masculine? What is feminine?
  7. Fuck no!
  8. Those who are genuinely remorseful and repentant deserve mercy. If not, then it’s an eye for an eye.
  9. Sure, if the other party ever bothered to reciprocate.
  10. I have it on good authority that my sense of humour is an acquired taste.
  11. Sure.
  12. I would if I ever had any.
  13. I suppose.
  14. I would be if given the opportunity!
  15. Yes! A million times YES!
  16. To a point.
  17. Alas, not really. I have recently taken up riding on an exercise bike for about an hour everyday again, though.
  18. I’m unemployed, unfortunately.
  19. To porn, food, and soda pop? Yes, and I hate it.
  20. Yes.
  21. Not as much as I should be or want to be.

Alright, tallying up my score – giving half-marks for questions 2, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 21 – I get a total of …

12/21

STAR TREK: THE NEW VOYAGES

Knowing this was basically a collection of fan fiction previously published in a fanzine, I didn’t really know what type of stories to expect from this. Luckily for me, none of the stories were godawful; there were a few which would’ve made pretty good episodes.

Here are the stories I found the best:

  • “The Face on the Barroom Floor” by Eleanor Arnason & Ruth Berman
  • “The Winged Dreamers” by Jennifer Guttridge (The implied homosexual attraction between Kirk & Spock was fan-ficky crap, though, and it took me right out of the story; good thing it was only brought up towards the end.)
  • “Mind-Sifter” by Shirley S. Maiewski

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by LEWIS CARROLL

I first tried reading through these stories two years ago, but I found the writing style insufferable at the time and so I put them aside only three chapters into Wonderland. I decided to return to them this past week, and I was astonished at how easy it was to get through them this time 'round. Perhaps being able to read it at my leisure instead of intermittently on a noisy, crowded bus had something to do with it.

Anyway, I liked both tales, though I enjoyed Through the Looking Glass the most. It’s undertones were decidedly creepier than the ones in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; I just loved the air of burgeoning madness it lent to the narrative.
