His goal in life was to be an echo

Some bits and pieces as I'm trying to keep my head on straight

-Thanks to Tom, Chris and Tony for having me on the Good Show last night. Always a fun time with those guys and always a good time to be back at the station where I got my start. I think I got my points across about what my book is and is not. I hope people enjoyed hearing some Fugazi and Cap'n Jazz on the radio.

-I'm nearing the 200-page mark in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm hooked - I can't stop reading it. I'm a relatively slow reader, but when I really get into something, I have a hard time putting it down.

-I watched I Heart Huckabees last week. Absolutely fantastic film. It's hilarious while being incredibly weighty with philosophy. Good stuff. A full review is forthcoming.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
