Bleh.Long story short, things change, all the time, and sometimes there's the sense that there's a reason for it, a master plan, and other times, it seems random as a three-legged dog ordering a drink at your favorite bar.The "Dream Apartment" in Inwood fell through last month as our credit, which isn't great but is good enough to get a mortgage at a decent rate, wasn't good enough to get into the…

COMMENT: 52 Putdown

I'm done.Week Three did nothing for me, and the numerous continuity issues already popping up in and around a series that is all about continuity is just way too distracting. Especially at $2.50 a pop. One of the bigger problems for me is the use of the weekly/daily timeline that doesn't feel the least bit organic, with scenes seemingly being spread out and arbitrarily labeled Day Two, Day Three, etc.Side note: Did anyone else think Detective Jiang in the opening scene this week looked like a slightly tweaked Crispus Allen? AKA, the recently deceased partner of Renee Montoya (who was…

LINK: Free Robot Porn!

[NOTE: Sicko Googlers, move on. It's not what you think!]No, not the political prisoner du jour, but genuine robot porn! FREE!Actually, there's a lot more human-on-human violence and explosions of all kinds than there is robot porn, but if that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy Vaistron, too. It's like everything wrong with America condensed into a heartwarming tale of kidnapping, corruption and headless cult members!Boussourir and Andrew Dabb are sick, sick men, and Vaistron is one sick book, but oddly enough, it’s appealingly sick. It helps to have a strong lead character like Gabby, the mercenary daughter who, as a…
