[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/fear_and_loathing.mp3] The American Dream. We’ve all heard of it. Politicians love to talk about it. People come from distant shores seeking it. All sorts of products promise to give it to you for three easy payments of $99.95 plus shipping and handling. But what is it, really? Has anyone really achieved it? And where do… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas

Expansions in the Force
Let’s face an honest truth. The universe George Lucas created back in 1977 is a better place than he originally imagined. With the exception of Empire Strikes Back, which was written & directed by guys that weren’t Lucas, the original trilogy established his galaxy far, far away and populated it with strange aliens, turbulent politics… Continue reading Expansions in the Force

Another season has begun in the universe of StarCraft 2. And where does it find me? Yep. Bottom rung. Nothing’s really changed. Or has it? With the new job settling into a rhythm that I can cope with, I’m starting to plan more and stress less (at least a bit). Into those plans I’m trying… Continue reading Terribronze
This Is Gonna Suck
Artists come in all shapes and sizes. Some paint, some create music, others bring out the statues held captive by blocks of stone and still others start with blank pages to create new worlds and memorable characters. But regardless of the art involved, all artists need to face an unfortunate and ugly truth. Not everything… Continue reading This Is Gonna Suck

If you’ve ever read the Opinions section of the local newspaper, or the comments of an article on the Huffington Post, you know that sometimes the readers contribute just as much as the… Continue reading Crank File: Barbie Made Me Bisexual
In Nolan We Trust
I’m very heartened by a few of the things I’ve been seeing in the form of trailers. The Hunger Games looks like it’s being faithful to its excellent source material, Men In Black 3 is promising a return to some of the original deadpan and quirky humor that made the first film so much fun… Continue reading In Nolan We Trust

[mtg_card]Sharuum[/mtg_card] is a deck I don’t break out often against the family. My brother-in-law also plays Sharuum and… Continue reading Family Commander: Christmas Edition
Flash Fiction: The Unexplainable Photo Challenge
“Sport.” No response. “Sport.” “Mmmmmf.” Skeeter blinked. He hated it when his best friend acted this way. They’d been show dogs together for years. It was how they’d been raised. Training, grooming, shows, repeat. But lately, the pressure seemed to have been getting to Sport. “Sport, knock it off. The humans are watching.” “Eh? Fuck… Continue reading Flash Fiction: The Unexplainable Photo Challenge
