No show better captures the geek/nerd experience than Freaks and Geeks. No show captures it worse than Big Bang Theory.
If your child is a bully, you are a bad parent. Bullying is learned.
Stanley Kubrick is painfully overrated.
I am pro choice and anti gun. However, if you want to argue for "common sense gun restrictions" you can not also refuse to accept the idea of "common sense abortion restrictions."
If "The Sparrow" didn't make you cry, you're dead inside. If you haven't read it, you've made poor life choices.
The "Space Raptor Butt Trilogy" is the best dinosaur on man gay scifi erotica that has ever been published.
Musical theater is an incredible art form, superior to both non-musical theater and opera. It has only been improved as the music styles have expanded in the last decade or so.
Browsing streaming content online is a sad simulacrum of browsing the shelves of a video store.
If you don't have too many hobbies, you're not doing life right.
This was so fun to read, and I totally agree with you about the kindle (very useful for insomniacs; you can read at 2am without waking up your partner) and Gorecki.
I agree or am neutral on most of these. I don't do fantasy lit./anime etc., so I'm ignorant on most of that.
Re: "Ulysses" I have read and loved most of the typical long and difficult books, and many of my favorite writers talk about that one and say that if you get the humor, you'll be very glad for putting in the effort (right up my alley), but I haven't got past about 40 pages (and I have the book-length annotations too). It's been sitting in my to-read stack for about eight years. I'll try it again.
I'll have to check out Virginia Wolf's suicide letter. I love her novels, but don't remember ever seeing that.
Ooooooh, I want to do a couple!

“That many writers, editors, and publishers came up as fanfiction writers/readers is profoundly bad for literature of all genres.
Fanfiction can be quite good.”
inside me are two wolves.......
Would be very interested to hear that extended treatment of the Kanye / Beatles theme.
My latest is "Any creative content made by someone in a societally marginalized group will deemed problematic."
