I want to believe. I find myself fascinated by the ideas of life on other planets, cryptozoology, hauntings, other states of being. I’m not saying I believe in the name, I say I want to believe. I try to keep an open mind when I approach these subjects. What can I say? I like…

Film Scores – A Whistler’s Tale
I’m a whistler, and a dreamer… and “Binary Sunset” is one of my favorite thoughtful, hopeful and slightly sad things to whistle, especially when I’m thinking about my future, and watching the horizon. Whistling. I do it all the time, and I carry a huge repertoire in my mind, and on my ipod. In the…
Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award – Carving The Light is a Quarterfinalist!!!
I’m still sort of in shock, and struggling to figure out what I want to say, let alone how to say it, but I promised myself that I would do my best to get some thoughts down tonight, on the eve of this very crazy day. Carving The Light was announced as one of the…
Back To The Zoo
It was another gorgeous Sunday, and the weather was perfect for the zoo, and obviously the animals thought so to because they were up and about, more so when they’ll be in August when the sweltering heat and crowds flock will descend upon them. We got to see the new baby penguin, as well as…
Remembering When… Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars and Indiana Jones were an inextricable part of my youth. As mentioned in my Star Wars post, prior to ’77 there was nothing that stood out amongst the pop culture landscape, there were fun and cool things, but nothing like the mountain that was the experience of Star Wars, and then, a number…

Game of Thrones Exhibit at the Lightbox
Yup, sometimes being here in Toronto is pretty cool. It also helps to have some awesome friends who offered me a free ticket to take in the Game of Thrones Exhibit being put on at the Lightbox, the home of the Toronto International Film Festival. I have to say that I like the Lightbox, and I keep…
My Week With Marilyn: A Non-Review
I really have no desire to review this film – there’s nothing I could say that hasn’t been said already a thousand times over. I feel the need, instead, to convey my personal experience while watching the movie, and what it meant to me. My love affair with Marilyn Monroe began years and years ago,…
Fan Expo Comic Con
So Sue and I had a great old time at the Comic Con put on by Fan Expo. It’s a smaller scale event than their con in August, and honestly is a great way to start the convention season. Happily, there wasn’t a lot of things that Sue and I wanted to do on…
Tim’s Top 5 Female Characters
It’s International Women’s Day, and to celebrate I thought I would share my favorite female characters, smart, strong, and independent women! 1) Buffy Summers – She may be the Slayer, but at her heart, Buffy is a woman who does what she does because it’s the right thing to do. She has a number of setbacks in…
