It took time for me to get into The Office. Years, in fact. I had heard all the hype about how great it was ever since it first began airing in 2005, and I had tried to take in the occasional episode. But the show's approach wasn't something I was accustomed to seeing, and it took a long time for me to understand just what creators Ricky Gervais (creator of the original British version) and Stephen … more

For many, many years, I never really understood the gargantuan hype surrounding Seinfeld. I don't think it's a terrible show, but I find most of the show to be lukewarm in its humor. With that said, there were occasional moments of hilarity, such as this. On a sidenote, Jason Alexander may be most famous as … more

The first thing I noticed about this product was the box it came in. It appears almost like wood and is a decorative item that you would want to keep. The pieces themselves are exquisite giving an appearance of being over a hundred years old. They are very elegant and the cups themselves have very comfortable handles and are exactly the right size and weight that one would look for. One would be hard … more

The Nashville Predators have at least one thing no other team can claim: Their head coach, Barry Trotz, is currently the longest-tenured head coach in the NHL. He was hired in 1997, just a couple of weeks after the Buffalo Sabres hired their longtime coach Lindy Ruff, who was fired in February. That means Trotz was hired long before the team began play in 1998 and has been with the Preds since the … more

With the exceptions of the lockouts, what we have here is the most public of the NHL's many embarrassments. It comes off as nothing but a desperate ploy for attention. Here's what happened: In 1992 there was this awesome movie called The Mighty Ducks that came out. Everybody loved it. Today, its still highly regarded as, at the very least, a classic of sports movies. It was … more

For all of my childhood, Who Framed Roger Rabbit has been one of my favorite movies. Thankfully, it's another one of those movies that still holds up really well as an adult. 1988 was quite a year for animation. Out in Japan, Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, and Akira were released in theaters and were all superbly animated films that in scales from good to masterful, delivered storylines … more

The plaster cast felt like a glove, and it was about as tough. If I had molded it into a more grabby shape, I probably could have played hockey in it. I couldn't help but make fun of the absurdity of a solid, hard plaster cast of my own right arm. It was to be exhibited on an artistic interpretation of the Stations of the Cross, some kind of Jesus-related thing I had never heard of until a couple … more

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is thankfully, another one of those favorite movies from my childhood that still holds up really well as an adult. While the story itself is a little conventional, what made this movie such a joy to watch was its masterful fusion of live-action and 2D animation (which despite being 25 years-old as of writing this, still looks amazing today), hilarious gags, and … more

I'm going to take a brief moment right now to do something I don't ordinarily do in my hockey-related musings: Give NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman some of the props he deserves. No, I don't mean that in an ironic or cynical manner, either. The fact is, for everything that's been going wrong with the NHL since Bettman took over, the man has managed to truly grow the sport in ways none of the fans ever … more

This is a chapter from my book. Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy X was more or less an impulse buy. I was at Media Play one morning, talking to a friend who happened to be working as one of the clerks there. That was something I did pretty regularly to help make her clerk job a bit more bearable, and I would usually show up around the time the store opened … more

Fans of comics, science fiction, and pop culture were given a special treat from November 30-December 2 in New Orleans, LA. With the prospect of college bowl games, a potential playoff run for the New Orleans Saints (which quickly dissolved), and Mardi Gras parties and parades, Wizard World decided to bump the 2013 New Orleans Wizard World Comic Con up a couple of months in order to avoid any … more

Usually I'm not privy to saying very much about my New Year's Resolutions because so many people don't take them seriously, and until a few years ago I was one of those people who was doing the mocking. I made a lot of phony resolutions which, to say the least, were kept easily and didn't require very much work on my own part. If it wasn't that, I would resolve to do something totally outlandish and … more

One of my absolute favorite "dipping" foods. I don't know what it is, but the combination of crispy chicken wings, hot sauce, and ranch dressing (others prefer blue cheese, but I don't like the stuff at all) just screams "perfect." I prefer my wings "naked," since I think breading can give wings an unsavory, soggy texture that makes it more … more

Even though Christmas is over as of writing this, I feel like talking about it now. Despite abandoning my Christian faith in 2001 (I'm an agnostic with really strong leanings toward atheism), I still practice Christmas because I think it's a wonderful time to spend with friends and family, and that I see it more as a cultural tradition in the Western world than … more

Even though the Rugrats would have gone down in quality by alot by the late 90's until its end in 2004, there were a lot of episodes from the first half of the 90's that ranged from good to great. Rugrats was simultaneously funny and relatable, despite having some aspects of the show that felt pretty ludicrous. When I was a kid, I especially related to Chuckie since … more

Baseball didn't exactly zoom right out to the west coast once it became a major sport. For decades, westward expansion to Major League Baseball meant maybe putting a new team in Kansas City. The barriers of Major League Baseball were pretty well set in stone until the 50's, and until then, there were no baseball teams either south of Washington or west of Saint Louis. Baseball was slower than residents … more

Since I live in a rural area, Amazon is an extremely convenient addition to my life as I can easily buy stuff without having to drive 12-15 miles away to buy electronics or graphic novels. With Amazon's Prime membership, which costs $80 a year, it includes free, speedy shipping (only two days from purchase, sometimes sooner) and being able to stream some movies for free on your computer. … more
