Cranial Scraps: April 2005
http://cranialscraps.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Reports from the Life of the Mind. Saturday, April 23, 2005. Narc: 1st Amendment issue, shameful marketing ploy, or both? I just read a CNN.com. Article detailing the controversy surrounding Narc. The in-game choice whether or not to do drugs. This fact alone pretty much invalidates the aforementioned suit Steve Allison's claim that drug use is the non-preferred path through the game. Does he really expect gamers who buy this title to ignore its main feature? LSD helps differentiate friend from foe, so y...

http://cranialscraps.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Reports from the Life of the Mind. Saturday, March 26, 2005. Happy birthday, Thompson! Yesterday my dog Thompson turned one year old. I'd like to tell you the story of Thompson, and in doing so introduce you to a wonderful organization that could use your support. A little online research lead us to B.O.N.E.S.: Beagles of New England States. Cookie, Thompson's mom. When B.ON.E.S. found Cookie she was living outside, tied to a fence. See that nasty scar across her muzzle? So happy birthday, Thompson boy!

Reports from the Life of the Mind. Friday, January 27, 2006. Friday Fiver: What I am to you is not real. In the interest of a weekly post I present to you the most disappointing Friday Fiver since the creation of fire. 36, although the AARP is sure I've got at least 30 years on that number. For you longtime readers, yes, they're still sending me mail. Male I think I'm actually supposed to be cute here and say something like, "Yes, please! Or "Only if you bring the soy sauce! Get to strangle the hooker!

Cranial Scraps: June 2005
http://cranialscraps.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Reports from the Life of the Mind. Thursday, June 30, 2005. AFI's Top 100 Movie Quotes: the Miller's Crossing Addendum. By now you've probably had a look at the American Film Institute's Top 100 Movie Quotes. I have mixed feelings about the list. There are some obvious choices, some shrewd choices, and some that aren't necessarilly stand-out lines but became popular catch phrases. (I'm a big fan of A Few Good Men, and it should be remembered for more than "You can't handle the truth! That’s right, Leo...

Cranial Scraps: July 2005

Reports from the Life of the Mind. Monday, July 04, 2005. Movie review: War of the Worlds. This review contains spoilers. I am going to completely give away the ending of the movie. If you don't want to know, get off your computer and go see the movie. My main fear walking into Steven Speilberg's summer blockbuster revision of the H.G. Wells classic War of the Worlds. You what happened, so I'm just gonna tell. These are not the brightest aliens I've ever seen. I could give the movie the benefit of th...

Cranial Scraps: November 2005
http://cranialscraps.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Reports from the Life of the Mind. Sunday, November 13, 2005. Say hello to Duke. Sometimes when you look at a dynamic volume like smoke or clouds you see a recognizable pattern or shape appear. The patterns and shapes originate from your mind, which does not mean they aren't there. The patterns in randomness. But I didn't know it was gonna be. big. They immediately sniffed each other out, and the little guy didn't flinch at all, even though I could practically hear natives chanting, "Kong! At puppies tha...

Cranial Scraps: May 2005
http://cranialscraps.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Reports from the Life of the Mind. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. The living and the dead. Last week three children drowned in the Jail Branch River in Barre while playing "army" in the woods. Even for someone who has only lived here a year it's easy to see the impact it's had on the town. Many people are stil in shock, and those who aren't carry a deep sadness around with them that you can almost see. All in, all in, all in a day. A day, it changes everything".

http://howlinghogbbq.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Howling Hog BBQ (at Howling Wolf Farm). Discussions about BBQ, Food and the pleasures of cooking with Fire. Thursday, January 26, 2006. Tagged in a roundabout way. He didn't formally tag me, but I'm going to jump on this e-chain letter concept that WhiteTrashBBQ just posted on his blog. Four jobs you had in your life:. Four movies you'd watch over and over. 2)The entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Four isn't really a large enough number for this question. Four places you have lived. 2) the Red Zone. I'm g...
