Ben Cossar, through his intermediaries, approached me to write for this thing we call Spunkybean. There were certain tests I had to pass, of course. Actually, I think they could better be described as ‘rites’. I don’t want to talk about the specifics, but let’s just say, well, I’ve been ‘marked’.
I’ve been blogging about TV for the better part of a year over at A Nickel for the Swear Jar (as seen in the LA Times). Quite frankly, I probably watch more TV than you do. As for my role in writing about TV – you know that episode of The Simpsons where Homer becomes a food critic, and everybody in town gets fat because they’d never realized that everything was so good? Yeah, that’s me. Only, you know, I’m trying to make your minds fat with pop culture. Of course, some physical atrophy is also inevitable.
