Basket of Kisses

I apologize for the late post, first of all. I promised to get them up by Wednesday at the latest, and this post wasn’t ready until Wednesday night. Not being within the context of a 9-5 job as my means of living meant that I forgot people usually read blogs during working hours. Which meant [...]

First of all, I want to apologize for phoning in last week’s post. I got called on it in the comments, and I hadn’t even noticed at the time. I give my word to put the effort into these posts you guys deserve. That may mean more Tuesday and Wednesday posts for a while, so [...]

In this episode, Rick does stuff. And things. Okay, mostly he talks with the Gov and gets somewhat drunk. Yet another episode where people stand around and talk. I feel like even the good ones of these are badly padded. Like, okay, you didn’t have to spend the whole episode in conversations. Half an hour, [...]

From The Walking Dead, this touching portrait: Caryl:Welcome Back by Sakura Akira.

I got a text from my mom as she was watching the episode, before I got home from work: “The thing you wanted most just happened.” I asked if there was a naked model waiting in my bedroom for me. She told me it was a TV thing. “Jim comes back as a walker? Michonne [...]

Apologies for the late post; it’s the day job. I’ll keep doing my best to get these posts up by Wednesday at the latest. It’s nice every so often to get a quiet episode like this one. When the show is reliably action-packed, a quiet episode of politicking between individuals is effective. After last week’s [...]

It wasn’t that unpredictable an episode. Oh, there were surprises here and there. Some things which should have been predictable in retrospect came as a surprise to me—which is more a matter of how much attention I was paying during the first viewing than anything else. This is a good show, but it tends to [...]

Hello Brain Trust. Arthur here. I’m just putting this up to let you know that this week’s Walking Dead post won’t be up until Tuesday this week. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t worry that I’d been eaten when you didn’t see the post up right away on Monday. See you then!

It’s about 3am as I’m writing this, so forgive me if my words meander somewhat. I spent a long time wondering why I kept writing these posts. I felt a sense, in part because of the audience, of obligation to blogging this. I couldn’t remember why I started writing these, and kept with it. It [...]

Well, look like we survived the end of the world on 12/21!   Unfortunately, the folks on The Walking Dead aren’t as lucky.  Here’s a magnificent sketch by José Saldarriaga on DeviantArt.  

Golden Globes: Mad Men was not nominated for Best Television Drama? Now you people are just being silly! Once again, the Mad Women fare worse than the Mad Men; Jon Hamm received a well-deserved nomination for Best Actor in a TV Drama, but Christina, Elizabeth, and January are unnoticed. You can’t even say “Who does [...]

As they say on the Internet, “alkdjhldfhalsdhfals;kdhflaskdhflasdkhflowhdjk.” I’m not even sure where to begin with this episode. Between the mission into Woodbury, which will inevitably result in a retaliatory attack on the prison, the introduction of Tyreese (fans of the comics universally react “Finally!”) or the fact that even after all she’s seen, Andrea STILL [...]
