It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) is a bonafide classic

May 12, 2024 0 Comments

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) has long been a favorite.

I made a dungeon. This is it

Have I ever posted about my model terrain hobby? I don’t think I have. Well, now I am. Like so many of us, I used the pandemic lockdowns as an excuse to dive into a hobby I always wanted to dive into. In my case, it was making model terrain from scrap crap. We had model railroads growing up and I enjoyed them, but it was my old man’s hobby, not mine. He did all the work. This would be like that, but different. Years ago, I briefly dabbled in painting miniatures of the sort used in tabletop games and war games, but was never particularly good at it. My attention to detail just isn’t there. Over time, however, I started daydreaming about making a…

A Dream of Impossible People 007 (FICTION)

November 2, 2023 0 Comments

I stopped running and the air stilled. I heard only the echo of gunfire now, from some far off time or place. Explosions like a whisper from yesterday. But there was no pursuit. No figures on a rise. No young soldiers with weapons of wood and imagination. There were only tires in the water that had been there…
