    Your favorite love stories

    Well, I know people are going to groan about me bringing it up again, but Frozen has to take the cake for me. Firstly, it's about familial love rather than romantic love & I'm sick to death of romantic love stories. And the 'act of true love'... seriously, *that's* true love. And it explains...

    Should Superhero Writers Simply Stop Bringing Up The 'No Kill' Rule?

    Whatever you may think of the 'no killing' policy, the question here is 'why do writers keep bringing it up?". And the answer is that some writers want to make thought-provoking, controversial stories. The down side is that few writers are capable of handling the subject well.

    What are you drinking right now?

    A blend of Blueberry Green Tea and Pomegranate Green Tea. Also known as a delicious cocktail of antioxidants! Blueberries, pomegranate and green tea are all helpful for dealing with my dermatitis, being delicious in a blend is just a bonus! I find the Blueberry Green Tea to be a little too...

    I Shouldn't Bring Real Life Logic Into This, Does So Anyway

    Umm, that's not how that battle went... Maybe you're thinking of the 2nd movie? The battle in that one isn't really how you describe either and the 'little kid' was a guy in his mid to late teens (who had theoretically had tactical/combat training for his whole life), but there *was*...

    I Shouldn't Bring Real Life Logic Into This, Does So Anyway

    One that's been bugging me lately is that I've started watching Game of Thrones (read the books 2 years ago, now trying to catch up with the show) and everyone puts their swords/knives back in to the sheaths with blood still all over the blade. Not only gross but also a good way to have your...

    Is a life without butter a life worth living?

    {SIGH} I can and do live without butter, or even margarine. I've had to cut all dairy from my diet as I have a combination of lactose intolerance plus a true dairy allergy plus it was affecting my IBS plus it was affecting my dermatitis. It wouldn't be so bad if it was *just* dairy but with...

    Is Man of Steel prequel "Krypton" series a good idea?

    I don't believe that particular storyline has ever been done, but there have been multiple instances of alternate Earths/Timelines where Luthor was a hero and Supes a villain. First one that comes to mind is the 'Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths' animated movie, but there have been others.

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    Give Jack of Kinrowan by Charles DeLint a try. Also the Myth/MYTH series by Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye (first book of the series is Another Fine Myth).

    Poll: Can girls be otaku?

    Pretty much the same here in Colorado. A couple of years ago someone asked me what an Otaku was and after a few moments thought I replied "Well around here it refers to American nerds who wish that we were Japanese nerds."

    Something Horrible Just Came To Me About Dragon Ball (Z)

    {shrug} That didn't bother me nearly as much as things like Yajirobe enthusiastically cooking and eating a clearly sentient being after he killed it.

    itt: say something nice to British folk

    In that same vein I shall always be thankful for the existence of the incomparable Nicola Bryant (who is ironically best known for playing an American).

    Smacking Your Child.

    Wish I had more time to talk about this-- but I don't so in brief: I've never had to physically discipline my child. A stern talking to on a couple of occasions is the closest to punishment I've ever had to use. Reasoning and explaining the "why" behind a rule or why we do things a certain...

    Poll: The Ultimate Question

    Sorry but for me the proper answer is.... midriffs/navels. But not pierced. Piercing defiles them. Judge me if you want.

    Disney straight-to-DVD movies you think are GOOD

    Yet another instance of how it's great to be the father of a little girl: I have an excuse to watch the Tinkerbell movies. One of them The Great Fairy Rescue was a bit meh, but the others are pretty solid. Although as an adult you can watch and say "Ok, that scene would have been...

    Poll: Who would win in a fight? Harry Potter or Vegeta?

    The correct answer is that whoever the person writing this story wanted to win would win, because reasons. See also: "How do you kill a vampire?"
