Storytelling is powerful. This has been stated and proven since the beginning of time. Good storytelling transports us to other worlds, other realities, and at times it makes us forget our own reality.

Way back in post no. 2 of The Neurotic Monologues, I commented about anime shows I thought deserved to have live action versions. One of my picks was Blood, The Last Vampire. Today, thanks to darkhorizons.com’s wonderful trailers section, I found out there’s a live action version of Blood, The Last Vampire. It will be … Continue reading
WARNING: Spoilers galore!! The advantage –and most often, the disadvantage – of being unemployed or having “casual employment” is the ridiculous amount of spare time you have to cope with.

Thankfully, mp3 and mp4 encoding was created and now … Continue reading
The long wait for the final half season of Battlestar Galactica has been…well… it’s been too damn long and annoying. This hiatus has been borderline cruel. Aren’t the head honchos at Sci Fi aware of the potentially alienating quality of such a long pause on an audience that is desperate for some answers? What is … Continue reading
APOLOGIES: First of all I’d like to apologies for my previous post. I really felt I needed to vent my career frustrations and the only outlet I could find was my CHUD blog. When I signed up to blog for CHUD, one of the reasons I gave to demonstrate how appropriate I’d be for the … Continue reading
