Posted on March 21, 2018 by mygeekblasphemy

The year is 1991. The date? February 14th, Valentine’s Day. There’s been flowers and chocolate. There’s been wining and dining. And now, to close out the evening, there’s obviously only one appropriate movie premiere for you and your partner to … Continue reading →

“We’re A Very Odd Family, Charles. There’s Lots of Ruthlessness in Us.”

Posted on February 2, 2018 by mygeekblasphemy

Lately, Mek and I have been on something of an Agatha Christie kick, so recently we checked out an adaptation of one of her novels–a novel, coincidentally, that neither of us have read: Crooked House. There’s potential here. But there … Continue reading →

Hello again! Apologies for my long absence–it’s been pretty chaotic here. Part of that, certainly, is because of the Northern California fires that hit my community pretty hard. But it’s also because I’ve been working on a novel all year, … Continue reading →

Posted on August 25, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

So, I haven’t been here as regularly as I’d like to, and unfortunately that’s probably not gonna change anytime in the near future. I have Novel Writing Deadlines to meet, which means I’m instituting a hard rule for myself: no … Continue reading →

“John Wick, The Man, The Myth, The Legend. You’re Not Very Good At Retiring.”

Posted on August 1, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

I didn’t love John Wick the way other people did, but I enjoyed it well enough to Netflix the sequel. The verdict? I liked it. Probably more than the first one, honestly.

“I Seek Righteousness, As Should We All. But I’ll Take Revenge.”

Posted on June 29, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

Lately, Mek and I haven’t had much luck with our Netflix picks, at least, not the DVD ones. Even my silly Batman/Superman cartoon was kind of disappointing. We’d hoped that Antoine Fuqua’s remake of The Magnificent Seven might finally break … Continue reading →

“I Am One With The Force. The Force Is With Me.”

Posted on January 5, 2017 by mygeekblasphemy

Mekaela and I spent Christmas in Taft, California this year, visiting our dad. Taft is a small place in the middle of absolute nowhere (though, in fairness, I feel obligated to point out that it is actually larger than the place … Continue reading →
