Clarisse's Used Finery
Clarisse’s Used Finery was not the used finery store you’d expect to find. Nor was it run by a nice old lady named Clarisse who had a bowl of lollipops. It didn’t sell used clothes and it didn’t have antique trinkets. The town of Kale wasn’t known for having normal stores with normal people.

Review of Outlander 3.7
A rip-roaring, excellent episode 3.7 of Outlander last night, in which Jamie reveals a secret — to us, the audience, at this point, and not yet Claire — and his life as A. Malcolm the printer goes literally up in flames.

Light-Year
“Light-year: It was once assumed just that of a measurement in which how far light had traveled in a year through space, which in fact was that of multiple definitions (polysemous); in which had also defined the age in which one traveled at the speed of light; due to Special relativity; a Time Dilation in which aged a human every light year they had taken at the speed of light.” — Jesse Gray

Artio's Adventure
Artio had always felt like an outsider. Her mother and two sisters already passed the test. Mother, Erui as she was known among the glade’s townsmen, was not only her mother, but mother Earth. Branwen, the eldest of all the sisters, was wisdom encompassed into the body of one. And Blodeuwedd was already the most beautiful child even before she was determined to be the beauty of flowers. Yet Artio could spend hours with animals of the wild. Blodeuwedd always complained about her various pets that would sneak out of their boxes and Branwen would examine them with her. Most of them were poisonous but Artio loved them all the same. She was the trouble maker, always ignoring her mother’s insistence of ‘never venture.’ To her, the woods were more home-like than the mud-home created centuries ago.

Tilted Stage
Dripping down over her skin, the droplets felt cold with the morning sun looming overhead. Her light auburn hair blended with her soft skin, making her feel almost invisible. The distant roar of the crowd made her eyes sparkle with color. She wondered if any of them even knew her name.

The Rise of the Mythical Sorceress
Screams echoed throughout the valley bouncing off the colossal stone formations which resembled mountains, I thought to myself it must be time, at the peak of these formations were concealed with ash mixed with snow. Forceful gales of energy dashed past my head, I managed to dodge it, I looked around and I could not identify my attacker. My eyes glanced over to lush green leaves which tumbled off the lanky tree, the trunk was coated with maroon liquid, it looked as if the tree itself was oozing blood. Small-scale rocks were scattered along the entire gravel path.

Movie Review: Shortwave
Shortwave is at once exceptionally ambitious and completely insane. The film about a shortwave radio engineer and his wife dealing with the consequence of his having invented shortwave technology that can speak to lifeforms not of this Earth has remarkable ambition but lacks the budget and ability to meet that ambition. Part arty, pretentious nonsense and part low budget sci-fi exploitation, Shortwave is, at the very least unique.

The Coso Artifact
When I was growing up in the late 70's, I loved watching the documenty series, In Search Of, hosted by icon Leonard Nimoy. There was an episode on the subject of ancient astronauts that always fascinated me.
