IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Stardust

Casseroles are great things for cooks, especially if they’re derived from a previous meal. Take my mother’s famous turkey casserole. Born out of financial hardship, it takes the remainder of a hearty and somewhat pricey turkey dinner from the holidays, mixes various ingredients together into a simple glass casserole dish, and the resulting meal doesn’t… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX!

Unfortunately, the same financial stranglehold that keeps my wife & I from going to BlizzCon or Cape May or even Philadelphia for a day… Continue reading Movie Review: Defiance

Not only is he brilliant, he’s manically brilliant, to the point that Sherlock Holmes seems quite sane and well-balanced by… Continue reading On The Tube: House

Movie Review: Watchmen

Considering how tight money is for me at the moment, I neither bought new comics today nor the Director’s Cut of Watchmen last night.
