Harley Quinn: More than Just “The Joker’s Girlfriend”

Dr. Harleen Quinzel, also known as Harley Quinn, only has one sentence in the DC Universe encyclopedia – she’s the Joker’s girlfriend.  While true, Harley Quinn is much more, spawning her own comic book series and being a villain in her own right. On September 11, 1992, Joker’s Favor aired, and audiences all caught their first glimpse of everyone’s favorite henchwench, Harley Quinn.  She was to only be a one shot character, but somehow was brought back just a few months later in Almost Got ‘im.  Soon, the Joker...

Writing Sample: Chit Chat for Facebook

Chit Chat for Facebook might be a solution to two common problems we have in communicating with our friends online. Nobody really e-mails anymore, with exceptions for business, birthday e-cards, party e-vites, and forwards of the funny or spammy variety. People like instant response. This is why they use instant messengers, but unfortunately not everyone can decide on the same one. Half our friends prefer one IM client over the other, yet we're the accommadating ones who have every single one. It's just a hassle. However, almost...

Toy Story 3 is Probably the Best Movie Ever

And if it’s not, it’s darn close. I was 12 when Toy Story came out.  I’m much older than 12 now.  However, I was dedicated to the series.  I loved the first movie, the second one was one of the first ones I saw in theatres… I’ve been impatiently waiting for the third one for forever. It did not let me down.  I don’t know what I expected in a Toy Story 3 movie, but this was much better.  Toy Story is the only franchise I know of that got progressively better with each movie.  I’ve never cried so...

Dashingly Deadly Dexter

I have certain visceral pleasures that I can only maintain when they’re imaginary.  I can’t watch them on screen or I get squeamish.  Because of this, I can’t watch the TV show Dexter.  Not without hiding behind my fingers at least three times an episode.  However, it’s a show that everyone seems to think I’ll enjoy, so my compromise was to read the books on which Dexter was based.  So far I have read Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter. I love these books.  They’re smart, witty, and...

Pardon My Dust

Right now I’m still working on getting this blog just the way I want it.  In the meanwhile, you can follow me on Twitter or be my fan on Facebook....

Hello!

May as well introduce myself.  I do have a nifty about me page.  I guess everything you need to know is there, but I guess there’s stuff you want to know.  Hm… Favorite TV Show: The Simpsons.  I know it’s older than dirt, and I remember when it was still on the Tracey Ullman Show (I didn’t like it much then!), but I think it’s a great show with core family values.  Odd family values, but they’ve always got each other’s backs.  Plus, it has longevity.  Every other show that I’ve deemed favorite...
