About

My name is Mike Culpepper. I live in British Columbia. This is a blog about stuff that interests me -- books, movies, history, comics.

The header image was done by Lee Mero probably in the late 20s. This picture hung in my great aunts' house for as long as I can remember. I have cropped the poem that ran at the bottom of the image.

Better Than Starbucks is a crime novel set in Vancouver. You can download or get a FREE sample here.

  • Two Protests: Turkey and Brazil June 19, 2013
    Most people in North America have become aware of the on-going protest in Turkey, fewer know about the one in Brazil. These two events have some things in common but are being handled in different ways and their respective outcomes may prove important in determining how this kind of protest is handled in the future. In […]
  • Bloomsday: Ulysses June 16, 2013
    Bloomsday is June 16. That is the day, in 1904, that James Joyce went out with the love of his life, Nora Barnacle. That is the day Joyce immortalized in Ulysses, the odyssey of an ordinary man’s daily round in Dublin. In 1954, certain Irish publicists decided to have a 50th anniversary celebration and Bloomsday, […]
  • Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring June 11, 2013
    When I was fourteen, I got a stereo record player for Christmas. It was portable, so-called because it had a handle and wasn’t a piece of furniture. The lid came off and served as one speaker, the other was in the phonograph itself. It was cool. A little while after, I got a special record […]
  • The Erasing of Memory: Spain June 6, 2013
    In 1975, Francisco Franco died. Franco had been Spain’s leader since 1936, when he successfully overthrew a democratic government and, with the help of Mussolini and Hitler, installed his own brand of fascism. Spain restored the monarchy — a constitutional monarchy — and everyone thought that a long dark chapter of history had finally ended. In […]
  • Food For Thought: Turkey Cake June 4, 2013
    Okay, imagine your guests sitting around the table, waiting for dessert, and you bring out this: Wow! What drama! Here’s another look: Now, while everyone is squicked out, you begin to slice the bird: And… OMG! Is that blood?: But wait: That’s right, it’s a delicious rum cake made up to look like a raw […]
  • Pictures I Like: “A Walk To The Paradise Garden”, W. Eugene Smith (1946) June 2, 2013
    My Story: Isn’t that sweet! Those two kids and that wonderful light. All is joy and hope at an age when everything is new! No wonder that this photo was the final shot, the coda to Steichen’s Family of Man exhibit. The Facts: Eugene Smith was an ordinary photographer before the Second World War, handling […]
  • Pretend Everything Is Okay — Maybe No One Will Notice That It Isn’t June 1, 2013
    The G-8 nations are meeting in Northern Ireland, near the town of Enniskillen, and David Cameron wants to make certain everything looks rosy for the world leaders coming to discuss economic matters. Trouble is, Ireland has been hit hard ever since the bottom fell out of the financial market a few years back. A lot […]
  • “The Kreutzer Sonata” and The Moonlight, part 1 February 22, 2013
    A group of strangers meet in a Russian railway carriage. It is 1889 and the conversation turns to the decline of marriage. An old man states that this is all because of too much education: people have become too learned and there is no more fear. Women should fear their husbands, then there would be […]
  • Celebrity Plonk February 17, 2013
    Looking for a hobby? Got a few millions to spend? Why not buy a vineyard and bottle your own wine. You might make a profit, even better, you might turn out something good. Now I’m not talking about just licensing your name to somebody so they can put your image on a jug of swill […]
  • Beautiful Abandonment February 12, 2013
    These photos of abandoned places are all from Francesco Mugnai’s blog where they are linked back to an original source. Sometimes there is more information about the places, sometimes there isn’t.
