EVAN: I have a dream. That one day this blog will rise up and establish a regular schedule. From that point on each weekday will have its own writer, and all five will be equal. Today, friends, we grow one step closer to that dream becoming a reality.
Joining us officially as of this week is Stew, who both Gordon and I attended college with. He’s also left a grand total of 47 comments on this blog, so you know he is a person with thoughts to share and things to say. Honestly, I could go on, so let’s just start things off already.
Similar to our introduction of Kat two years ago [has it really been that long?] each of the CWR regulars will be asking Stew four questions apiece, ending with the chance for him to throw a couple of his own at each of us.

KAT: My first question for you is, what makes you want to write for the blog?
EVAN: Wow, Kat, way to take my first question. And now I regret my decision.
STEW: Too slow, Evan.
KAT: Sorry, but you guys wanted me to go first, so…
STEW: Well, I’ve been a pretty avid reader of CWR since it first started. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the diversity of topics that you guys cover. But I’ve been harassing Evan to cover more science-y topics for ages now, and apparently this is the best way to make that happen.
EVAN: Favourite Lovecraft-themed alcoholic beverage?
STEW: Narragansett Lovecraft Honey Ale, both because it is delicious, and because I don’t think anything else fits the category.
GORDON: Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?
STEW: Nah, I love sitting on the fence.
KAT: Would you consider yourself a feminist and/or feminist ally?
STEW: Absolutely!
KAT: I feel a little bit like we are browbeating you right now, haha.
EVAN: If his brow makes it out in one piece we will have failed in our mission.
STEW: Generally, brows should be in two pieces anyway. Mine is no exception. Continue reading
It’s 2015, readers, and what better way to start off the year that’s just beginning than by railing on an idea that need to end? Yup, we’re talking Postmodernism here.
