Sometimes I like to pontificate, and sometimes I like to pontificate about things I like. Sometimes writers, sometimes movies, sometimes other things. Here is a list of people, places, and things I have reviewed.
A speculation about five reasons Brandon Sanderson is uniquely qualified to finish the Wheel of Time series. I have a little bit of fun at his expense, but it’s just a gentle ribbing of someone I respect professionally. I can tell this guy is about as decent and solid as they come. Also, he’s a pretty damn good writer. Check out his books.
Update: I just re-read that. Jesus Christ am I a dick. I ought to take it down, but will leave it up so my shame will burn brightly throughout the ages.
A Canticle for Carolla: Hawking the Hammer
A number of anecdotes from my life where radio host Adam Carolla has exerted enormous influence.
BC’s Recommendations: Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother
I’m a big fan of Boing Boing (at which Cory Doctorow is an editor), because I sometimes like to indulge in the illusion that I am a “with it” cyber chic individual with eclectic and fancy tastes. Ironically, I tend to do this most while wearing a plaid shirt, eating beef jerky and cleaning my ear out with a key. I know… I really should have the courage of my convictions.
Anyhow, Cory Doctorow is an extremely bright man. In fact, I don’t know why anyone reads stuff I write when there are people like him on the internet. He’s also pretty accessible which is rare. This is a good example of his work, which you can read for FREE on the INTERNET. Listen folks, I only link to stuff that I personally enjoy. Trust me, this book is good. You should read it for no other reason than that it is good and it will make you think. THINK, motherfuckers!
Also, Xeni Jardin, I love you. And interestingly enough, I can do a passable imitation of Yoda, Golem, and Chewbacca, yet I cannot get anywhere near pronouncing your first name.
Ugh, I really shouldn’t update the archives at 2am. I am so unprofessional.
Guess what happened on this day? There was NO BSG! If only someone had told me and stopped me from going through with this. Anyhow, it’s a spoiler rich review of the new Indiana Jones picture. I had to write something.
If you thought my obsession with Brandon Sanderson was creepy… just wait. Oh God… just wait.
Terry Pratchett and his Secret War with Shag Carpeting
Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld novels takes on Rafnallian death beasts in this fictional piece about shag carpets, carnivorous plants, cane-swords, and haunted rickshaws. Also, how does it feel to know that none of you will be able to get Terry Pratchett to read this? Hahahahaha! Serves you right for tipping off Dr. Osheroff, Brandon Sanderson, and John Scalzi!
I fellate Adam Carolla in this piece, as I feel I owe it to him for making my childhood bearable.

Live-Blogging Sci-Fi Fridays with BC Woods
An utter shit fest. Who the fuck has the patience to sit down and live blog not only BSG… but DOCTOR WHO AS WELL? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, BC! GET OFF YOUR LAZY FUCKING ASS AND WRITE A GODDAMN STORY! YOU KNOW? THE THINGS PEOPLE READ!
I really have no idea why people read these. They stopped being fun to write after the first one. I hate them. Honestly, I do. I write them solely as a form of self-punishment. Maybe that’s why people enjoy them? Anyhow, they’re a comedic exercise, because in real time, I have to think of jokes for something I have never seen before. It is so fucking exhausting. Ugh, Lord.
I really hate myself. Want proof? Read the BSG live-blog, which I write solely because people enjoy it. I started to discuss scientific philosophy in this one. Do you know how comically bankrupt I have to get before I start pondering the nature of the Prime Mover? Very much.
God, even writing a summary of it is like being punched in the face.
I hope you all fucking choke. I PURPOSEFULLY MAKE THESE HARD TO READ AND YOU STILL READ THEM? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? STOP! JUST STOP RAPING ME!

WTF, indeed.
