Under the Big Top 26 Aug 2013 | 08:32 am
As a former professional juggler, stories about the circus are always interesting to me. I never toured with a big tent circus, only with little performing troupes. Some of my friends used to tour wit...
Zero Hour! 25 Aug 2013 | 02:36 am
This is a pretty straightforward 1957 suspense film, with a somewhat ridiculous plot. See, this former WWII pilot named Ted Striker ends up on a commercial airline flight during a storm, and due to an...
Jugglers Galore 5 Aug 2013 | 12:57 am
This is a book to get lost in. I found it at the recent IJA festival, where the author, Paul Bachman, was curating an incredible collection of historical juggling props, photos, and paraphernalia. Pau...
Flat as a Pancake 25 Jul 2013 | 07:03 am
I mainly bought this album for the cover. I mean, the front of the jacket is cool, but the back of the jacket is awesome. I wasn't too into the music, though. There wasn't too much that was special or...
The Six Wives of Henry VIII 24 Jul 2013 | 06:56 am
I was excited when I first found this Rick Wakeman album, and realized that the title wasn't arbitrary -- it actually contained six tracks, each one dedicated to one of Henry's wives! But, upon playin...
Starcastle 23 Jul 2013 | 06:16 am
This album is amazing. It sounds just like the cover. And it has a song on it called "Stargate." I think I'm going to listen to Stargate by Starcastle while I play Stargate and Star Castle at Babycast...
Berberian Sound Studio 22 Jul 2013 | 06:05 am
I'll be honest. This very arty film bored me. I felt like it was trying too hard, and repeating its message too much, and I kind of felt like I was looking at a situation where filmmakers are so in lo...
The Way Way Back 22 Jul 2013 | 05:46 am
This was kind of a hard movie for me to watch -- a bit too much of it happened to me, one way or another. The whole thing was well crafted, and well acted, with no wasted moments. The most fascinating...
Parnassus on Wheels 14 Jul 2013 | 11:40 pm
I have fallen in love with this series of novellas from Melville House. My favorite so far is definitely Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley, a tale of a travelling bookshop. I'm not the kind of...
Super Smash Bros. Brawl 10 Jul 2013 | 08:49 pm
I've never really been into fighting games. I mean, it's fun to button mash, but actually trying to get good at them feels like boring work to me. My daughter was all into this one, though. I'd played...
