Thoughts on Solo
This was, by far, the longest I’ve ever waited to see a Star Wars film. Thanks to damn ole regular work, I was forced to wait nearly three weeks! For films in my top shelf of ‘Must-See’, I never watch anything before seeing it at the cinema. No trailers, no press, no nothing. That’s even…
New podcast: House Manderly Part II, by History of Westeros
I at least make an effort to keep my mess-ups varied. When Part I of the House Manderly podcast came out, I was weeks late in helping to announce it. This time, I’m ready and waiting! Today the good folks of History of Westeros dropped Part II of the House Manderly podcasts, which again I…

Good evening, and hello. Like many of you, my writing partner (beperkyalways) and I (SerBuckley) have been part of several writing groups, both separately and together, and many of them have eventually crumbled due to (in polite terms) various circumstances.

This summer- in the next few weeks actually- I’ll be completing my largest ASOIAF project to date. Said project has been in various forms for well over a year,…
Jonathan Isaac was the rookie the Orlando Magic wanted.
Good evening and hello, Whenever I find time, usually weeks after being asked, I write about the Orlando Magic for Orlandomagicdaily.com. Obviously, the NBA finals have already began, and the Magic weren’t exactly involved in the playoffs…or the playoffs race…or anything since deep winter anyway. Still, I managed to find space to jot down a…
