Keys

Flash Fiction — It must have been the glint of light reflecting from the faux-silver keyring that caught his attention. He’d been strolling up Halsted absentmindedly, not noticing the flags in the window turn from DePaul Blue Demons to rainbows of various configurations. …

February 2023 Wrap Up

Hi there, I used to joke that if you blinked while driving through the tiny rural town I grew up in, you’d miss it. I feel similarly about Februarys. It’s only 2–3 days shorter than any other month, but good luck convincing my brain of that. …

January 2023 Wrap Up

Howdy! I had big dreams for January that just didn’t come to fruition. Whoever decided that the year–and therefore our lives–should reset in the middle of winter is a sadistic fuck. Everything really went off the rails mid-month when my partner went to Disney World and brought us back COVID…

Topher’s Top 8 of 2022: TV

Did it by the skin of my teeth, but I got these year-in-review posts out before January ends and 2023 is 8% over. One of the unintended consequences of an AMC A-List membership is that I watch less television. …

Topher’s Top 10 of 2022: Books

Unlike some of my other Best Of lists from 2022, the books list does not discriminate based on publication date. There are simply too many books I’d be interested to read and too little time to get them all read. My reading goal in 2022 was to read 36 books…

Topher’s Top 10: Films of 2022

According to my Letterboxd stats, I saw fifty-six movies in 2022, the most in one year since I was in high school and the most in movie theaters in a single year ever. I’ve already sung the praises of AMC A-List. …

2022: A Year of Change

First of all, I know it’s Friday the 13th and the time for years in review is far behind us, but I’m evil, what can I say? The only constant is change. This is sometimes a difficult thing to remember as perennial societal issues bubble to the surface in a…

Freedom’s Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose

Banshees of Inisherin, a Review — Before we get into this, I’m working on developing a template for the film and book reviews I’ll be releasing on a more regular basis. I read the book Smart Brevity by Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz, the founders of political blogs Politico and Axios. …
