New Rant By Eric 'Renderking' Fisk: "What's a Parent's 'Worst Nightmare'?" One of the things they don't tell you before you become a parent is that you'll be plagued with strange dreams about your children for a very long time... much the same way they don't tell you before you graduate from high school that you'll still have nightmares about showing up for class unprepared. - Since becoming a parent, I've had the occasional dream or nightmare about some danger that threatens my boys..."

Living Hollywood - By Austin Phillips: A Plead to Hollywood Writers: Use a Dictionary! "Over the last few decades films have steadily changed, due to technology, popular culture, and public opinion. There’s certainly nothing wrong with this and plenty of great films have been made in this fashion. However, there are other trends that are less appealing and are putting films in a rut that few seem to want to climb out of and trend includes graphic violence, explicit sexual scenes, and foul language. The last item mentioned is the one that has been on my nerves the most lately and, quite frankly, I’ve had enough."

Past Links Of The Day...

 

Jade Rooster (Paperback) by R.L. Crossland

Two Americans, one civilian, one navy enlisted man, are drawn into the hard-boiled underworld of early 20th Century Japan as they investigate the grisly discovery of three severed human heads adrift in an open boat belonging to a missing ship. Their exploration of the seedy side of the Asiatic Fleet exposes brutal violence and betrayal lurking in unexpected quarters. Blending the historical authenticity of Patrick O'Brian with the crackling narrative and dialogue of Raymond Chandler, Crossland establishes himself as a unique voice in nautical fiction.
