Reviews

Music reviews, gear reviews, concert reviews… I will review anything. I just like to write. I have never accepted any money to review anything, so while I am extremely biased, at least it’s not for that reason.

Holding On Too Long, a BikeMate Lite Review

Sometimes, hopeless romantics like myself hang to things for far too long, such as a dating partner who doesn’t read very much, or who dislikes bikes. Sometimes it takes a clear signal to remind us that we need to move on. Such was the case with my love affair with the Blackberry. I had been [...]

History Channel’s Top Shot: Too Many Feelings

There is a widespread popular misconception about people who like guns, which is that they necessarily want to use those guns to shoot people. If I were mad enough at some person to do bodily harm to them, I’d much rather punch them than shoot them with a gun. I don’t want them to die [...]

Randolph Engineering Aviators: A Review

While I was traveling to the greater Los Angeles area last January, some jerk relieved me of my sunglasses. They were stuck in the side pocket of my laptop bag when I left Atlanta, and completely missing when I arrived. I guess its possible that they wiggled free of their own accord, but I kept [...]

Wizard People, Dear Reader: a Review

If you are like me, and I hope for your sake that you’re not as it will save you a lot of awkwardness and explaining, you’ve read all the Harry Potter books. Actually it’s more true to say that Stephen Fry has read all the Harry Potter books to you, but still, you’ve ingested the [...]

Pride and Predjudice and Zombies, a Book Report

I never had to read Pride and Predjudice when I was in school, and having now read most of this zombified adaptation, I am very glad. It’s like reading a summary of a bunch of socialite’s Twitter accounts. I have some acquaintances whom I would consider to be Atlanta socialites, and believe me, there isn’t [...]

The Georgia Cyclone: A Review

Yesterday I blew off work and joined my buddy Chris for some roller coaster action. We decided weeks ago that we wanted to go out to our local theme park, Six Flags over Georgia, and ride some coasters this summer. Chris manages his schedule with ruthless efficiency, so he put it on the schedule for [...]

Boobs Aplenty!

In the process of writing today’s post, I googled for a hilarious thing to link the words “avert your eyes” to. As a result, I now know that Verne Troyer, the actor who played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers movies, has a sex tape. What a glorious cornucopia is our Interplops! My only concern for [...]

Kick Ass, the Review

Last night, a strange sensation overcame me. I felt decidedly odd, but was not able to determine the source of it. It wasn’t a bad feeling, precisely, or a good one; just odd. I retired to my mirrored room and pranced around with my ceremonial scimitars for a while, declaring over and over in a [...]

Hermitar!

An associate of mine, who shall remain nameless because I let slip to her some sensitive hermitage-related details, successfully talked me into leaving my lair and viewing a film on Saturday night. I figured I was going to be the recipient of some hermit-related chiding, so I decided to head that off at the pass. [...]

Into thin Air, a book report

I am reading “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer, about his trip up Everest. Its a pretty amazing book, and it is serving the purpose for which I bought it. That purpose was to decide if I wanted to someday attempt to summit Everest or not. I’m still up in the air, you might say. [...]

  • Welcome!

    Hello and welcome, friend! My name is Jim and this is my blog, constructed entirely of dreams and opinions. My lawyer said that a disclaimer would be a good idea, but he didn't include any jokes to go with it. Damned if I can think of any either.
