It seems to me that this MOG Wars thing was taken a little too seriously by all of us. I have not seen a recent count, but I have the feeling that there will not be any reloading going on.

Is it wrong to want another MOG w...

Some days I honestly can't believe I get paid to do my job. The last few days have seen me hanging out on a barge on the Willamette, sunny weather flirting with eighty degree temperatures. It's like living an Otis Redding song without the crushing existentialism. I come home with a tan and just enough dirt ground into my plams to give my life meaning, ease into my Samsonite metal folding cha...

Back in March, I had the chance to attend a concert at my favorite local music venue, The Showroom, for a regional musician named Tyler Ramsey, who hails from Asheville, NC, which is about an hour away from where I currently reside. I posted about Tyler here in June, but learned recently that he is now touring in support of and as part of the lineup of the South Carolina-based indie rock group,...

After several listens, I've changed my mind. I'm *really* liking the new Band Of Horses single "Is There A Ghost" off of the forthcoming album _Cease To Begin_.
