You’ve all seen those obnoxious list-based articles from content farms plastered all over your facebook feed. I’ve grown increasingly fed up with them of late (with the exception of Cracked. Cracked is fucking brilliant). Half the time, they just throw up a catchy headlines, some photos, and call it a day.

Great Hugo Reread 1946: Isaac Asimov’s The Mule
I will be posting the Great Hugo Reread every Saturday from here out.
First time/Reread: Definitely a reread.

Other Nominees:
A.E. van Vogt- The World of Null-A (Awesome)
C.S. Lewis- That Hideous Strength (Never read it, heard good things)
Fritz Lieber- Destiny Times Three (Great author, never even heard of the book before)
Edward Hamilton aka Brett Stirling- Red Sun of Danger (Huh?)

Polenta and Onions
Hurray, cast iron skillet. What would I do without you?
Videogame Pitch
I had an idea for a videogame a while back I’d like to see. I doubt it will ever get made, but I can dream.

I hate music.
No, not really, but compared to most people I know, I’ve definitely acquired a reputation for being down on music, and a reputation for downright hating musicians.
I really don’t listen to much music compared to most people. On most days, I don’t even really listen to music. I boot up iTunes maybe once, twice a week, and even then just for an hour or two. Why? Well, listening to too much music puts me on edge, and can even give me a headache. No idea why, it just starts grating on my ears. Switching it up doesn’t help, I just have to turn it off. The effect is less pronounced with classical music, but it’s still there. I also prefer my music very much on the quiet side. (That being said, if I were ever in a car with an epic sound system, I’d totally blare the Brandenburg Concertos). While I was working at the Jazzhaus I was the only employee who used earplugs every night.
