This Starts to Get Unnerving After a While

Before this video, I was vaguely aware that Picard tugged at his shirt a lot, but watching him do it 130 times was more than I can bear. I admit I jumped around a little.

What I found interesting was that, while Picard preferred the two-handed vertical pull, Riker, tended to do a one-side-other-side version

Also freaky: Riker sitting down

Never Interrupt

Despite losing big in the midterms, Democrats have unveiled yet another new plan to raise taxes.

With 2016 coming up, all I can say is – keep up the good work, Dems, stay the course.

Random Thoughts: Audible, Downton, Devil

Posted by on

Listening to Audible.com version of my novel is kinda nerve wracking. Hearing it read aloud makes me question every word choice.

Voice actor is good. I think it would be fun to voice the main character, but getting unique voices for all the supporting isn’t easy.

Kind of arrogant how every episode of Downton Abbey ends with the word “Masterpiece” coming on screen.

In “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” it says the devil is “in a bind” because he’s “way behind” in soul collecting. Who’s setting his quota?

Wife just now looking at kids’ science book: “So narwhals are real?”
