Out of the Shadows

on May 13th, 2012 at 8:00 am

By Jon Gallagher

A few months ago, I alerted readers to the fact that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp had teamed up to do a new Dark Shadows movie. It was released on Friday, May 11. I had a chance to attend a midnight screening, but despite evidence …

Dear past self

on April 15th, 2012 at 8:00 am

By Jon Gallagher

Recently, I entered a writing contest. I don’t do this a lot because, well, mainly because I’m lazy. Many times, I’ll take the assignment, write it, and never turn it in. If nothing else, I figure it’s good practice and keeps my writing sharp.
