“They were never handsome and often came
with a hormone imbalance manifested by corpulence,
a yodel of a voice or ears big as kidneys.
But each was brave.”
I think my days of making daily posts here at Death By Troggles are over. I’ve pretty much covered all of the mass media countdowns that I consider myself even remotely qualified to talk about. And with a young child and more demands at work, I find I’m coveting sleep over this site. Still, I love writing and I will continue to post. Tomorrow you’ll get to see whether or not I won the writing competition, and I’ll continue to post short stories I write. If I ever finish watching Deep Space Nine, I’ll probably do a countdown for that show. I almost never play video games anymore, but perhaps I’ll find something else to write about the ones I have played. If people are jonesing for reviews of fan-made text adventures, I could knock out about 40 pages right there.
The Director Series I did in 2013 was pretty popular. I’ve avoided doing any movie countdowns, because I honestly don’t remember enough about most movies I see to talk about them intelligently or find my favorite clips or whatever. But I enjoy talking about them, especially middling movies which aren’t to come up on a “Best Of” or “Worst Of” list. So when I have time I’ll use a random number generator to pick a movie I’ve seen. I’ll post something about it and open it up for discussion. Perhaps I’ll learn something along the way and have some fun. Hope to see you here.

First I love it, then I want it dead.”

“Fifty years ago, I invented a society for the abolition of Christmas. So far I am the only member. That is all I have to say on the subject.”
