Totally inappropriate…and completely funny. My favorite part…the horse playing the keyboard.

Vivaldi on the accordion is not as silly as you think it may be.

It sounds pretty good to me.

I’ve always been a fan of the original Prisoner staring Patrick McGoohan. The original show ran for only 17 episodes and managed to create a huge cult following among science fiction and mystery fans.

According to Wikipedia:

The series follows a British former secret agent who is held prisoner in a mysterious seaside village where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job.

AMC is remaking the Prisoner into a 6-hour miniseries, staring James Caviezel as Number 6. Ian McKellen will be playing the roll of Number 2.

I hope the capture the weird psychological twists of the original series.

A famous man once said that timing is everything. This version of Rush’s “Working Man” sounds like heavy metal when slowed down.

And I dig it.

Having a great time at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival here in cloudy Portland, OR. This year’s short films were pretty good overall.

Some stand out films this year were “Noirville”, “Tinglewood”, “Seance” and “Dirt Dauber.”

I’m looking forward to a showing of “The Mist” later tonight, which is a faithful adaptation of Stephen King’s story of the same name.

Hope I survive…

This photo was taken at the Shippensburg Adventure Game Camp in 1982.  Are those dragons I smell?  Nope, they’re teenagers…even worse than dragons.

Shippensburg Adventure Game Camp ran in the summers of 1981 through 1985. There were two one-week sessions, each Sunday evening through Friday afternoon. I found out about it because the teacher we had convinced to sponsor the school D&D group got a flier for it when it was first organized.

Campers were divided into different gaming groups at the beginning of the week, with councilors doubling as DMs. There were morning lectures (seriously) with gaming in the afternoon. All the groups played through the same adventure, written specifically for the camp. It wasn’t an actual tournament, but each group pretty much tried to get as far as possible before the end of the week — a slightly rigged process as I found out once I became a councilor.

I never knew something like this existed when I was a teenager.  I’m sure I would have loved it.

I’ve always wanted a motorcycle.

So, about two weeks after my knee surgery I visited the Harley Davidson dealership and picked out a red 2010 Road King.  I’ve been riding it for the past 3 weeks and love it. It’s pretty heavy (nearly 800lbs with a full tank of gas) but it handles extremely well on the twisty turns in the mountains.

This photo was taken about 20 miles west of Boulder, CO on a ride I did with Jake.

So far, it’s been loads of fun.
