Here we are, at that time again where we arbitrarily increment the year number by one and start the calender over from the beginning. We are in January. The year is 2013. Neither of those things were true yesterday. On the one check per month I actually write out, it’s going to take a while [...]

“What a wonderous time is spring…when all the trees are budding.” There is this OLD Christian campfire song called “Pass it on.” It’s a relic of the kind of “teach the world to sing and buy the world a Coke” mentality that the American 1970s produced so effortlessly and intentionally in its citizens. I used [...]
Hey. This blog has been “This is Epth Nation” for so long, I can’t remember a time when it wasn’t sitting here taking up space on the internet and staring at me like some long, forgotten Taco Bell Chalupa. The title and the banner picture have been changed (the latter to the Tales From the [...]
It’s been a long time, right? As Led Zeppelin would say, a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time. It’s been at least five years since I’ve been a regular blogger, and about that long since I’ve felt like a regular person. I feel like I’ve been walking on a foundation of broken glass instead [...]

Two things of note happened to me yesterday. The rest, you can just forget about. 1) I got STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR at work for 10 minutes. I could have DIED. Well, not really, but I could have been stuck in there A LONG TIME. When the elevator stops and random floor numbers light up, [...]
I’m not so good at selling things. You know why? I HATE BEING SOLD THINGS. You have to understand, I’ve been constantly manipulated for what seems like 40 years, and I don’t really see the value in the whole process. It started with the totally understandable “See, being good and not screaming keeps you from [...]

Ellen Page is quickly becoming the female Michael Cera — someone the audience can identify with no matter what’s swirling around her. Just like Cera, she grounds every movie she stars in and gives it enough soul to be good. We like her and care about her, and we see ourselves and our struggles inside [...]
Cue the ominous music, it’s the Zuckerberg! I have Mark Zuckerberg to thank for lots in this world. He posts pictures of funny things on my wall. He comes up with funny and/or poignant status messages that interest and entertain me. He provides me with up-to-the-minute information and opinions on things that matter to [...]
Let’s go through the possible ways in which a teen movie can suck, and see if any of them apply to Easy A: Most of the characters are even-more-exaggerated-than-usual versions of typical false Hollywood teen-movie archetypes? Check. Authority figures are divided neatly into “Liberal/Cool” and “Conservative/Fascist” camps? Check. It’s a comedy that’s not very funny? [...]
