This is my place to vent, to pontificate, to educate, to defame, to expound, and yes, to wax rhapsodic. It's my personal brand of logic applied to the world, and it works for me.
In the course of my regular internet surfing, of which I am a veritable Bodhi, I stumbled across an interesting little bit of business on the great snark site, Television Without Pity. It was clearly in response to the upcoming film, The Box, which is a big screen version of a Twilight Zone episode, where [...]
One of the things that fascinates me is entertainment directed at toddlers. Not children in general, mind you. Actual, non-English-speaking, full-on stumbling, bottle-waving toddlers. I know that the children’s channels on television are more aimed at either true babies, or fully-communicative children, but the fact remains that toddlers watch TV. Not with the critical eye [...]
Sadly, I am completely aware of how bad that title is. So, it will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who regularly reads my blog, but I enjoy reality television. This is mostly due to the ability to see people act as naturally logical, or, more often than not, illogical, as they would. [...]

Well. Some things you can never get scrubbed off the backs of your eyes, no matter how much steel wool you have. Although here I am, searching through Google Images trying to fins a picture of it, and failing, and being a little sad about that. Last night’s Survivor: Token-Cheese, sadly, did not give me [...]
Seriously, if you watched it last night, you had to see it, right? = I mean, fine, it might have been a little cruel for someone to suggest that people should be eliminated based on age, but if they had just looked a little deeper, into her soul… …they would have seen [...]
