Who would have thought?

May 23, 2014 by Robyn Robotron 3 Comments

I went to school with Ben Montgomery.  We weren’t friends as he was popular and I was a punk rock snob.  Through the power of social media, we’ve become friendly almost 20 years later.  He’s also become quite the writer, and I would have never have guessed he had it in him.  Just like I imagine people would have never guessed a 67-year-old woman could hike 2000+ miles with barely more than the clothes on her back.

I have this theory about Keanu Reeves.  The less his character knows about what’s going on, the better the movie.  My favorite movies of his are Bill and Ted, I Love You to Death, Parenthood and The Matrix.  My theory really holds up with the Matrix trilogy; the first one was awesome, the last two, not so much.  Why would someone cast a man who can only play someone who knows nothing as a man who knows too much?  Let’s not even get into his […]

I am the Walrus.

You have no frame of reference here, Robyn.  You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know. . .

Who’s got the power, the power to read (among others)?

April 4, 2014 by Robyn Robotron Leave a Comment

Like Matilda, I could read at 4-years-old.  Unlike her, my parents encouraged my reading, as I’m doing with my daughter.  In case the title didn’t give it away, her favorite show is Super Why.
