I am a hurt man. I am hurt because I have friends and family who have been had, hoodwinked, hornswaggled, and bamboozled by something that seems innocuous, but it’s very existence is the harbinger of doom!! I hold it responsible for Noriega, Medelin, and crack! What is this thing that I am talking about, you ask? I am talking about the AVOCADO… ugh, I feel dirty even typing the word!!

Miss Dawn’s Musings – When Nostalgia Trumps Quality
There are a lot of properties making comebacks on the small screen lately (over the past few years, really) and a lot are really popular, especially among fans who remember them from “the first time around”. So I was thinking about this and whether the popularity stems from actual quality (in the writing, acting, overall production value) or if people are blinded by nostalgia. I think, in a majority of cases, it’s nostalgia. Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – When Nostalgia Trumps Quality
Irregular’s Intel – The Danger in Revisiting the Past
The other night I was channel surfing and the first two episodes (originally a two hour tv movie) of Knight Rider were on and I had to watch. Back when the show first aired it was cutting edge and super cool. I was a religious watcher for most of the series. I loved the action, the adventure… and K.I.T.T.

Miss Dawn’s Musings – Calm the F Down
Last week there was a major reveal in the new Captain America comic. For geeks living under a rock, the last page of the book had Captain America saying “Hail Hydra”. Obviously a huge twist and could mean major things for the character. So, of course, geeks took to the interwebs immediately to decry the horror of such a phrase coming from a beloved character. (As an aside, it really ticked me off that everyone threw the “no spoilers” cry aside and posted about this from early morning, before the majority of people could even get to their comic shop and buy the issue. Also, the loudest complainers seemed to be those who don’t even read comics!) Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – Calm the F Down
Miss Dawn’s Musings – Low Tech, No Tech
We just spent a weekend in the wilds on southeast Ohio. The great outdoors and all that crap. (I should probably have prefaced this by saying I am not a fan of the outdoors.) But it was quiet and peaceful (when I could get away from people). The biggest thing to get used to though was going low tech. Continue reading Miss Dawn’s Musings – Low Tech, No Tech
