The "On the Couch with Frasier" Drinking Game

The “On the Couch with Frasier” Drinking Game

By J. Timothy King on August 17, 2012

Frasier evokes strong memories for me. Back in the day, we used to record episodes on VHS. And then I went over to my parents’ and put on Frasier and worked late into the night on their Windows computer—mine ran Linux—practicing designing 3D scenes. My idea was to create a computer game about a haunted […]

Bits & Pieces 2012-08-16

By J. Timothy King on August 16, 2012

Links and things that I’ve run across recently. (I think I’m becoming more cynical and sardonic. Sorry about that. Might be time to read more Dave Barry.) Spider Robots Take Over the Earth Someone must’ve sent me this link, to a piece about a rideable spider-robot, named Stompy, being designed and built locally. I couldn’t […]

Teaser Tuesdays: The Man Who Did Too Much, by Camille LaGuire

Teaser Tuesdays: The Man Who Did Too Much, by Camille LaGuire

By J. Timothy King on August 14, 2012

George Starling quit his job as a secret agent to take care of a traumatized woman he rescued. He has brought her home to her small Michigan town, where she can’t seem to get better, and he can’t seem to shake loose of his need to take care of her. When an old friend asks […]

This Is Not a Real Blog Post (Ponderings and Plans)

By J. Timothy King on August 13, 2012

My kids just got back from camp, and while they were gone, I enjoyed myself. (See, all last week, you didn’t even realize, because I hid it so well.) I watched a whole bunch of Netflix! Including episodes of Star Trek and The Dick Van Dyke Show and Get Smart and Roswell. On the evening […]

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (Recipe)

Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers (Recipe)

By J. Timothy King on August 10, 2012

No, that’s not peppers stuffed with vegetarians. It’s peppers not-stuffed with meat… or peppers stuffed with not-meat. (One of those.) Remember the days when I used to write funny pieces on Friday—or at least attempts at humor—rather than copying out of my recipe book? Yeah, those were good times, weren’t they. But I posted a […]

Triskelion battle ring, from "The Gamesters of Triskelion"

Bits & Pieces 2012-08-09

By J. Timothy King on August 9, 2012

Links and things that I’ve run across recently. Return to Triskelion To ordinary people with dictionaries, a triskelion is an artistic motif consisting of three interlocked spirals. Star Trek fans, however, will recognize “Triskelion” as the planet where the “Providers” (these ultra-powerful, disembodied, colored, light-up brain guys) betted on how fights would turn out between […]

Rory and Lindsay, and their lawyers, run into each other in Gilmore Girls, "A Messenger, Nothing More," s5 e2.

Living a Life of Balanced Thoughts

By J. Timothy King on August 8, 2012

I think my theme for this week is: life is getting better. If you’re a Gilmore Girls fan, you might remember the episode after Rory and Dean had their affair, the one in which Dean’s wife Lindsay discovers Rory’s “heinous letter in Dean’s jacket.” Oy f***in’ vey! See, this is what happens when children grow […]

Teaser Tuesdays: Midnight Rain, by Holly Lisle (again)

By J. Timothy King on August 7, 2012

The Little One is finishing up Midnight Rain (or at least that’s the plan), this week at camp. It’s been some time since I read it, but I remember it as incredibly suspenseful and creepy, like the early X-Files episodes (which is a different post). (And I mean “creepy” in a good way.) Phoebe Rain’s […]

The Amazing Plastic Spoon

The Amazing Plastic Spoon

By J. Timothy King on August 6, 2012

I ran into this on Facebook, or Twitter, or some site or another. It’s been making the rounds, I guess. “It’s pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract oil from the ground, ship it to a refinery, turn it into plastic, shape it appropriately, truck it to […]

Hickory Smoked Barbecued Beans (Recipe)

Hickory Smoked Barbecued Beans (Recipe)

By J. Timothy King on August 3, 2012

My latest culinary experiment was party a success; the other part, not so much. The success was the sauce, the result of a spate of online research and some experimentation. The other part: I used great northern beans, which I think were a little old and didn’t tenderize thoroughly. I’ve made baked beans before using […]
