Well, I'm officially looking for work. If you need a writer and editor with almost a decade's worth of experience, I'm your man.

I've been planning on revisiting Three Days of the Condor. Seeing the New York skyline as it was in 1975 was, not surprising, but...striking, I suppose?

It's an entitled male nerd indicting other entitled male nerds he perceives as different from him, perhaps because they don't play the piano.

In all seriousness, I think a lot of Whedon's hypocrisy stems from his refusal to ever consider his own behavior.

It's dense, mostly in good ways, occasionally in frustrating ones.

I love IBO, and I will also make fun of its tendency for mortally wounded characters to deliver EXTENDED soliloquies before they expire.

Bioshock infinite discourse up again.

Gonna throw my point again in how 2 was honestly the better Bioshock sequel and with much better theme of free will and choice and familial bond.

Should have gotten more stories of Eleanor being a demigod.
