Watched Paranormal Activity last night after Mrs. Lizard King went to bed.  Turned out all the lights and opened the windows for extra ambient background sounds.  My verdict?  It creeped the poopers out of me.  And I’m someone who never says “poopers.”  In fact, I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve ever used [...]

I finally rented Paranormal Activity so I can see what weaker mortals think of as scary.  I can’t watch it with Mrs. Lizard Kind around.  She actually gets scared by old Twilight Zone episodes with Burgess Meredith.  I have to wait for her to go to bed before I watch it.  Which is the perfect [...]

Man, ain’t that the truth.
I think at this point I can back off my commitment to post each day.  It was initially just a way of prompting me to blog again.  I’ve been blogging pretty regularly, so I think I’m back in the swing of it.  If I keep making myself blog every day, then [...]

I am a sometime sufferer of chronic insomnia. When I was younger it was great. Who needed sleep? Now the old body is wearing down, however, and sometimes I do have force it into an inactive state. Last night I took my ambien and waited for oblivion to come for me. [...]

Today is rough.
I had little sleep the last two nights after a heavy night of barfing up greasy food on Saturday.  You didn’t need to know that and yet there it is.  The last thing I feel like doing is writing a post.  Yet here it is.

Not enough? Here’s another one.

I think that last [...]

Man, I really dig Obama.  It feels good to be able to say that about a President.  Obama actually feels like a President.  Or maybe a high school principal.  He has that “you kids stay out of trouble now” vibe.  George W. was more like that coach who teaches Driver’s Ed and then ends up [...]

I was flipping channels last night and stopped on Conan the Barbarian.  I was just in time for favorite scene, too.  The barbarians are all having a pancake breakfast meeting and Conan waxes poetic about what is best in life.  Absolute best scene in the movie.  Mrs. Lizard King despises Conan the Barbarian.  I don’t [...]

Man, I am really enjoying the new FX series Justified.  It’s based loosely on an Elmore Leonard short story and it manages to actually feel like Leonard is writing it.  That’s probably because Leonard is producing it.  Moma Leonard didn’t raise no idgits.
It’s reminding me why I loved reading Elmore Leonard so much.  I actually [...]

The creator of the Gears of War game franchise announced the release date for the third installment.  This is big news for the series fans, but what makes it even more interesting is that it was announced on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.  This type of exposure for a video game is pretty remarkable.  It’s [...]

A new species of Monitor lizard was discovered!
This is big news here at Brain Lizards.  The staff and I are very excited.  As long as he doesn’t come around asking for money like so many of my distant cousins.  This guy was over six feet long when they found him.  He was being carried on [...]
