Lately I’ve been writing a lot about TV shows. Today will be no different (maybe it is because of sweeps … or maybe I just watch too much TV). Today I’m writing about one of my favorite shows on the air – Chuck. Chuck is in its sophomore season and has proven to be quite an enjoyable series. Sure it maintains a certain level of hi jinx, but it is all part of the fun of the show. Unfortunately this is yet another show that is inexplicably

Senseless Acts of Apathy
As is probably evident to those who know me or read here often, I watch a lot of TV. And every year I must content with the fact that not all of the shows that I like end up getting carried forward.

Dresden, Wizard
I stated previously that I may post reviews of The Dresden Files books here some time ago. Since then, I’ve read four of them and just started the fifth.
