Magic, magic all around….. I love being a writer, partly because I get to be so many different things. For example, in my books (on shelves and upcoming), I’ve been a cat, a spy, a demon hunter (different demon hunters, actually), a vampire, a succubus, a werewolf, a demon, a psychic, a fireman, a bookstore owner, a werecat, a ferret, a codebreaker, a spy, a film producer, a superhero,...

Last year, Tenured Radical did a series of posts on the academic job search. I've referred people to these, and been asked where they are, but putting them all together is a pain, and the relevant tag is slowly getting dated, so I've decided to do so just once in a post here which can then be forwarded to people. Without further ado: Another Year, Another Job Market: When Not Perfecting Your Tan This...

A silent killer is stalking the overgrown man-children of the world. It infects one out of four males above the age of 35. It clouds the mind and destroys the family. It fosters half-baked notions. Eventually, these unlucky souls believe they really need every episode of My Favorite Martian and all of the spoken word albums of Leonard Nimoy. Medical professionals refer to this scourge as Collectivitus...

Yippee, Magic Carpet Burn has the theme song from My Favorite Martian and it has LYRICS, yes it does. Maybe today doesn't suck as bad as I first thought.

I was at our choir party Thursday night with my wife and daughter. We had a lovely time. Our organist showed Lydia how the organ worked. But somehow one of our co-pastors asked me about a television show called "My Mother, the Car." Seems that one of them claimed that the show existed, while the other co-pastors said that it couldn't possibly be so. Even when I noted that it starred Jerry...

Check out the frosting on these banana cupcakes. Super smooth and creamy, cream cheese buttercream … so delicious and creamy. Did I mention creamy? I also used a little added yellow to tint the otherwise cream colored creamy cream cheese frosting … you know, just to enhance the senses. I'm tricky like that. Banana Cupcakes 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon...

Earlier this week, my distinguished colleague Scott Von Doviak, in the course of filing his the latest installment in his beloved "Unwatchables" series-- this time, dealing with the 1994 movie version of Car 54, Where Are You? --took a moment to express his bewilderment that anyone would have even thought to make a movie version of Car 54, Where Are You? Of all the movies based in TV sitcoms,...

Marvel Comics has begun reissuing their Marvel Masterworks series of collections of classic Silver Age stories. Consequently, this is a good time to review some of the best comics work ever done - Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s Amazing Spider-Man . Even in comparison to today’s more “mature” or “complex” storylines, Amazing Spider-Man , issues 1 through 38, and Annuals...

My favorite martian is Olena Kalytiak Davis. I’ve been reading poetry blogs trying to figure out what a blog is or could be, and hers over at the Poetry Foundation, all 10ish entries, okay yes. She makes something—not a poem—but those blogs are made things. (So at this point if you’re not my mother, you [...]

A couple of reruns and retreads and a few new 'bombs' based on hit tv shows of the time: Jeannie and My Favorite Martian speckle this hit and miss, mostly a miss, year from CBS. And let us not forget Bailey's Comets, a cartoon about a Roller Derby team that goes around the world looking for clues that lead to a million dollar prize! To be fair this was the debut year for Speed Buggy, which went on...
