(WARNING: Slight spoilers up ahead. I call them “slight” because they give away a couple character reveals that you’ve probably seen inundating social media for the past two months. Definitely nothing related to the finale, though—that will be saved for the spoilery space.) What’s new, readers? Let’s start in on the The Mandalorian, the Star Warsseries that … Continue reading My 2 Cents on The Mandalorian—Season 2

My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
What’s new, readers? Are you still as shocked as I am that Rudy Giuliani reached into his fun factory in Borat 2? And that Jared Leto will return as the most-hated incarnation of the Joker in the Snyder Cut of Justice League? And that the election is coming up in ten days? I’ve said this over and … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Palm Springs
Project Super Nex – Chapter Twenty – Finally Home
“Morning, Maykal.” Her voice slides through the darkness and into my ears. I feel her sit on the side of my bed seconds before my eyelids drag open. Mom looks so youthful and carefree in her cardigan and beige corduroys. Her smooth olive skin and chocolate ombré hair seem to glow in the gray light … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Twenty – Finally Home

What’s new, readers? We’re now living in a world where President Donald J. Trump has caught the coronavirus. After months of claiming the disease would disappear and constantly scoffing at masks as a tool of the radical left, karma has bit him in his orange ass. It’s a telling indicator of what we’ve had to … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Skyhunter
Project Super Nex – Chapter Nineteen – Always
I was five when Mom told me about the lusiere’s role in Teönor mythology. Apparently, a group of demon gods known collectively as the Urogotha had a bothersome habit of scheming to overthrow Metura, ruler of the heavens and the mortal world. One of their favorite tactics was dispatching spirits to possess mortals and bend … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Nineteen – Always
Project Super Nex – Chapter Eighteen – Bring Into The Light
I fade in and out of a silent, sprawling darkness. I fight off its attempts to ensnare my soul in its talons, carve it out of me, rip it apart. Sidney materializes, holds out her hand to me, calls out to me. Don’t go. Before I can take her hand, she dissolves into the void. My … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Eighteen – Bring Into The Light

What’s new, readers? Travis Scott recently teased “The Plan,” his theme song for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet. Obviously Nolan is a filmmaking genius, but it helps that he’s a marketing wizard too—casting Harry Styles in Dunkirk to draw in One Direction fans, dropping the Tenet trailer on Fortnite to catch the attention of gamers, and now his collaboration with Scott. The … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Interstellar
Project Super Nex – Chapter Seventeen – In The Fractured Island
When I walk into the Citadelle through the main entrance, the atmosphere of the lobby is abuzz with a palpable tension, as if preceding a crucial event in the future. Warbearer Overseers seem to frown even deeper at me from their giant portraits, the battles between the crimson force and Grimhet emanate more violence from … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Seventeen – In The Fractured Island
Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
It’s the 25th of Merto, ten past eight in the morning. The edges of a cumulus cloud burn white as it slips over one of the suns, while the second sun radiates razor blades that slice gashes through other approaching clouds. The grass and the trees and the lake of Gollinger Park flash and gleam … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Sixteen – Chaos and Death
Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture
I awaken to the opening notes of the Chameleons for Breakfast score, rippling with equal amounts of grandeur and tenderness. Lying on my side in bed, I wiggle my arm out from underneath the covers, stretch it out to snooze my phone. Time: seven-ten p.d. I roll onto my back, lace my fingers over my … Continue reading Project Super Nex – Chapter Fifteen – Rupture
