Some of my Ribcage short

Some of my Ribcage short stories are going to be featured in the next "issue" of this little online literary magazine, Facets Magazine ...kind of, sort of the first thing I've ever kind of had published anywhere. Here is proof of my future inclusion.

So I think the first episode of the show went over really well, actually. Food Network people said it did well, but they don't ever disclose actual numbers. I do know this though... with just one day and one airing, my father's low carb pizza recipe was the fifth most requested recipe of the week of all of Food Network's recipes. The episode airs again Wednesday at 5pm and Friday at noon.

Oh boy oh boy. Van Helsing.

Van Helsing. What a disgusting mess of a movie! Jeremy and I went to great measures to enjoy this movie. Great, mind-altering measures. I went in with terribly low expectations and the film still managed lower. It failed in just about every way a movie can fail. The story was fucking stupid for one. Secondly, the characters were possibly worse than the ones in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen another of these new old character mash-up pieces. I can't decide which of these two movies was worse, actually. Van Helsing did outshine League in one area though... laughably pathetic special effects and cgi. Van Helsing's cgi effects are something to be studied, I tell you this. How a movie so funny for the wrong reasons could ever make it through test screenings makes me wonder what kind of world I'm living in.

Didn't anyone stand up and say, "Whoa, wait a minute Mr. Stephen Sommers, those vampire women with the titties aren't cool, scary, attractive, or entertaining. With all due respect Mr. Sommers, I think you might be slightly a moron."

One fifth of Universal's entire movie-making budget for the year went into this 200 million dollar, neverending rollercoaster of rat shit.
