We here at Casa del Hokeyhausen began our passionate love affair with bacon-infused bourbon earlier this year, and it’s become something of a seasonal favorite. It’s a most delicious concoction that takes the best of so many possible worlds and combines them into a wholly singular experience that can be best described as couch-destroyingly-awesome. [And…
I’m coming to the vast realization that this blog has been a repository of what I think about other stuff. Reviews and the like. Race reviews. Movie reviews. Music reviews. And that’s fine and dandy, but it doesn’t really tell you anything about *me* in particular. Depending on why you’re here in the first place,…
Rating: 10 / 10 There have now been 23 James Bond movies — well, 25 if you count the unsanctioned 1983 Connery vehicle Never Say Never Again or the 1967 Casino Royale spoof with David Niven and Woody Allen — and not a one of them looks as exquisitely beautiful as Skyfall.

I originally wasn’t planning on running the Allstate 13.1 Fort Lauderdale half marathon, if for no other reason than I thought it would get in the way of my full Marathon training. I’m still prepping for the big event that goes live two months and a day from the time I’m typing this sentence, and…

I’m explicitly referring to the Wigs-n-Costumes bands in…
Rating: 9 / 10 Filmed in black-and-white, set almost entirely on a small sailboat, and with a cast of only three characters, there’s something warm and analog about Roman Polanski’s debut film Nóż W Wodzie (Knife In The Water) . Like slipping a needle on a vinyl groove, the film cracks and pops and skips…
UPDATE: Season 2 is now available. Click here for my initial thoughts on the new features and storylines! Ahh, long-distance running… The fine art of destroying your cartilage and killing your weekend social life all for the sake of a $0.95 hunk of metal (which cost you anywhere from $80 to $200) shoved in your…
My good buddy Suz shared this with me. It brought the lulz.
Welcome to the inaugural edition of BTR; my thoughts, reviews, commentary, and complaints on any and all of them various episodic serialized entertainment nuggets I’m following on what the great Harlan Ellison referred to as the Glass Teat. Hmm… glass teat. Boob tube. Fascinating… I’ll try not to get too spoilerish on things, but if…
