House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Friday, April 20, 2012. It's not easy being Stan Lee. My friend Alice posted a thing on her blog called the 7-7-7 challenge. This sounded like a taste test for a new soda from Herman Cain. But in fact it is also. Flip to page 77 or page 7 of your current work in progress. Post the 7 sentences that follow. Tag 7 more writers. He made up hundreds. Of other heroes, most of which were truly awful. I have...

House of Payne International: Movie Reviews: Babysitters are expensive edition
http://houseofpayne.blogspot.com/2015/05/movie-reviews-babysitters-are-expensive.html
House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Friday, March 27, 2015. Movie Reviews: Babysitters are expensive edition. We have not seen a lot of movies lately. Not sure what the problem is. Maybe time, or maybe the cost of getting a special snowflake to come watch our little perpetual motion machine. Either way, the arrival of our second little bundle of boy will not make things easier. You're welcome, Hollywood. Great costumes, picturesque sce...

House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. So, I recently participated in something really quite extraordinary. Rich Burlew, the creator of a webcomic called the Order of the Stick. Had a pledge drive on KickStarter. Rich was trying to raise $57,750 so he could get some of his old books back in print. On February 21st, the last day of the pledge drive. Who for weeks has been getting up before 4 AM and putting in ...

House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Monday, March 31, 2014. Movie reviews: Winter of our discontent edition. Okay, so I've had a few disappointments lately at the movie theater. And the only thing for me to do is to air my grievances. 1/2 Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The saddest, scariest, most beautiful movie I have seen in a long, long while. A sparkling jewel in the heap of putrescence. Hollywood, please make better movies. It is fo...

House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Readers of the imaginary. I haven't done much posting this year. (My last two posts languished unpublished in the Blogspot editor for weeks.) Sorry about that, imaginary readers. You deserve better. I don't know that you'll get it, but you deserve it. As for the rest of you, don't worry, I'll keep you posted. Eventually. The House of Payne. To contact the House. Drive So...

House of Payne International: December 2012
http://houseofpayne.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Monday, December 31, 2012. Movie reviews: Mayan y2k edition. Here are all the movies we saw in 2012, and thus all the movies we will ever see. Because of the end of the world. I would happily pay any amount of money that Pixar can imagine to see a movie just about the two little brothers. 1/2 Marvel's The Avengers. The Dark Knight Rises. Every single James Bond movie since forever is about how 007 is...

House of Payne International. Politics, war, religion, superheroes, cooking, music, and other nerd stuff. Saturday, January 12, 2008. A writer writes, always. So, I am thinking about doing something foolish. My friend Mitch. Was in town and he let me know that Brandon Sanderson is teaching a writing class this semester. Sanderson, as it turns out, is a fantasy and science fiction author who was recently picked. To finish the Wheel of Time. The House of Payne. Really, I will be so jealous. Just do it!
