Okay.
I know its pretty cliche to go on about how Orwellian our government is turning (no matter how true it is) but this newly released policy of The Department of Homeland Security is really just taking it too far. [...]

Can we talk about The Dark Knight yet? Can we? I want to but I dont want to spoil the movie for those who havent seen it.
So I won’t. I’ll just urge those who haven’t seen it to do themselves the favor, pony up the $10 [...]
In case you’ve been living under a rock these past few weeks as far as cutting edge internet entertainment and missed the awesomeness of Dr. Horrible, I’m putting you a notice. The first two Acts are up and are currently FREE to watch so go…GO NOW. Thank me later.
Hey all,
I know I dont post that often. Yeah. Mostly its because I’ve been wrapped up in this thing called work. Nobody wants to hear me bitch and moan about having to work to pay the bills, especially since EVERYBODY gotta do it.
But the long dark winter of my absence [...]
Are you prepared for the eventuality of the Zombie Apocalypse? Does your family have an EZEP (Emergency Zombie Escape Plan)?
The Zombie Apocalypse is nearly upon us! Make Ready your weapons and gird your loins.
Z-Day is [...]
You may be wondering if something is wrong with your RSS reader. No, do not adjust that dial, so to speak.
It IS a post by Benticore.
A short post, to be sure but a post nonetheless.
It’s just that I realized something that makes me very [...]
Hey All.
I’ve been a bit incognegro lately, but thats because so much has been going on. I have a lot to talk about but firstly, I wanted to pass along this nifty slideshow explaining the sub-prime mortgage debacle we’re currently in.
Anyways, I’ll try and post [...]
Hey all,
I thought this was worth a chuckle at the very least.
I’ve got a post I’ve been working on that should go up sometime today or tomorrow.
Stay dry!

So the wild star child and I had a conversation yesterday that got me thinking. It went something like this:
We’re just out our new digs, so things will be a bit weird for a few days.
Hey, at least I’m posting again. Sort of.

As I faithfully wait for my wife to finish transferring our various blogs and what not from old, crap server to new, non-crap servers, I’ve decided, in my inestimable wisdom, to post.
Close your mouth, Dwight. Yeah, I’m posting. Yes, its halfway [...]
Hey.
I’m a bad blogger.
No no, dont protest. I am. I rarely post, sometimes leaving six month gaps between even checking my blog, much less writing on it. And when I do, usually its something inane, or me apologizing for not posting in so long.
Truthfully, its because I’ve been trying to [...]
Hola!
I hope your week so far has treated you kindly, like the gentle, sloppy lick of a newborn baby calf, or maybe the sweet caress of silk as the blindfold is tightened around your eyes (but before the blade kisses your neck). Me? Well, for most of the week, I’ve [...]
Waiting Patiently for the end of the Snark era…
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done with the Snark Era.
You know, when everything becomes fodder for sarcastic comebacks and put-downs, which are then in turn used for more sarcastic put-downs, nothing actually gets said and everybody looses, and, more importantly, [...]
It’s really all my fault. I mean, kharmically, It’s no more than I deserve. All I wanted was a day to recharge and maybe avoid the worst part of all this. Oh fate, you fickle, spiteful bitch…how you laugh at me and take my lunch money…
Lemme ’splain.
This morning I told [...]
I’ve got a couple of delayed posts whithering in Limbo right now but I wanted to do this while it was on my mind (and I was tagged by both Sherri AND Raquita). Trick is to figure out something most wouldn’t know that aren’t too crazy.
Lets see.
1) My first Dog [...]
I don’t want to go to work tomorrow.
I mean, really, who ever does? But its been a long weekend, Raquita has the day off tomorrow (LUCKY!) and I’ve been up and down on super happy fun time drugs all weekend. [...]
I got a lot on my chest to get through so bear (rawr) with me…
The NaNoWriMo project is a strange beast. It forces me to try and do something that I have been unwilling or unable to do and that is to sit [...]
So, as Lion and Spear continues to gather dust (and mental momentum, if that makes any sense) I decided in a fit of caffeine-fueled mania, that I, Benticore, would try my hand at the National Novel Writing Month Challenge: 50K words in 30 days. I even have an idea that [...]
(Raquita is busy fixing my blog and I’m pretty much HTML-incapable so the links and pics aren’t in for this post. Once the blog is fully working, I’ll put in the requisite links!)
Hey Yall.
The STL blogger meet up was on Friday and man was it a great time! Many thanks [...]
After 10 months and 1 week of labor (It’d be called torture if the same afflictions could be applied to anyone without a baby) Gabrielle Sylvia Taylor Ann came into this world via C-Section at 11:15 am on Thursday, September 13th, 2007. Thats the summary. But lets get [...]
Here I am.
I wonder why it is that most of the times I actually drum up enough focus and horde away enough time to post, it usually is about something sad or negative. Thats…thats sad, isn’t it? But still, even though the posts lately have reflected my mood (think storm [...]
Hey.
Here I am. Sorry I don’t have time for a longer post but I’m under several guns, a cannon, and some sort of strange, temporal beam weapon that smells faintly of chocolate and The Abyss.
Real Quick:
I’ve been trying desperately to find the words to get this post out that won’t get me put on any Anymore government watchlists (Thanks for that, Daimushi…)and I haven’t figured it out yet. But I will try to be articulate and thoughtful as I work out the miasma brain smudge [...]
Well, this, technically is a post…but not a real one. I just wanted to let all of you know (all of you being my wife, and that one lurker who forgot to delete me from his RSS feedreader) that I haven’t abandoned the blog. At least not officially. Its funny. [...]
(Quick Update: The Picture Above is the work of Heather Elizabeth Sumpter, whose other incredible works can be found at Precious Heart.net and at Deviant Art. she [...]
And I mean that.
I’d apologize for the length between posts, but since I really dont have a set update schedule, I feel the need to apologize…waning…heh.
Cammy had her Parent/Teacher conference yesterday. Or, rather, I had it. They said that Cammy is doing well, and is very advanced (Not on Isaac’s [...]
I don’t have a whole lot of coherent thoughts right now so you (and that guy who’s reading behind you, and the other person lurking) get to read my random thoughts for the day, as they occur.
So maybe five minutes after I posted yesterday, the phone rings. It’s my Father, which surprises me to the core because he is a practicing hermit on the mountain and general anti-telephone technophobe (he likes the internets though). After a quick exchange of moderate pleasantries which includes the local used [...]
I have not posted on this blog for a very long time. Well, at least for a month. Why? Well, for a variety of reasons, none of them really sinister and only one involved beating back and Alien Horde of Conquering Devil Mollusks intent on enslaving the Human and Canine [...]
10AM Oh, Wait! Was He That Guy in Bill and Ted?
History major associate: That little dude is such a jerk! He’s got a major Napoleon complex going on.
Blonde assistant manager: Really? But he doesn’t have a big nose or curly hair or glasses…
History major associate: What? [...]
*There will be pictures but I gotta add them later so…for now, you must battle The Mighty Wall of Text! Ready….FIGHT!*
The glacial speed at which I process thoughts sometimes leads me to believe that I am unfit for the blogosphere, responding to the latest interweb nut fuckery and [...]
So Gikinmaro and I went to see 300 at the local cinemaplex last night. When Tambora (who has seen it 2 times and is probably on his way to a 3rd in the next week) described it as the battle scenes from Lord of the Rings (Movies 2 and 3, [...]
