I settled in for another documentary last night, having tracked down one I’d wanted to see since I first heard about it. A documentary dealing with the Toynbee tiles. These tiles began appearing on roadways all along the east coast of the United States, and even so far as South America. The tiles themselves are…
Touch – Preview Episode
For the third week in a row, eleven-year-old Jake Bohm runs away from school and climbs a cell tower, tripping its alarm at precisely 3:18pm each time. Called to collect his son once again is single dad and widow, Martin Bohm. Getting the emotionally-challenged Jake down from the tower is no easy task –…
Eyes of the Mothman
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…
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)

Star Trek: The Bantam Books
I finished navigating my way through the original Bantam novels this weekend. As stated in my previous post there were 15 of them altogether in addition the episode adaptations (some of which I still own). I will say this, I may not be suffering from Trek overdose, but it’s never been easier to see all…
Valerie And Her Week of Wonders (1970)
We’ve come across the first movie that left me thinking “huh.” I can say I didn’t hate it, and visually it’s gorgeous to look at, but it’s just a little… well… huh. This Czechoslovakian film is haunting, and disturbing. The story follows young Valerie who very early in the film, has her very first menstruation….
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…
Quantum Leap
“Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished… He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey…
