10 Lists

a list of ten things—not always a top-10, not always an “essential” list: just ten things

10-List: Firewater’s Favorite AC/DC Tracks

Every 10-List that I compile is what I refer to as a “production” post. While the resulting product may seem like something I slapped together in a white-hot rush, it actually takes time for me to create it. If I have integrity at all, I have to demonstrate it to myself first. Before I can […]

10-List: The Revenge of Quotidian Quotes (Firewater’s Everyday Wisdom)

I sit on top of a mountain and my beard is long and white, so I must be a wise man. This string of ten pearls is my gift to you. Feel free to quote me. As far as I can tell, the word “organic” —at least, as it applies to bananas— means “capable of […]

10-List: First Seasons (Since October 2022)

I take a lot of series on a test run. Some I watch and become addicted to, and I watch more. Some, not so much. These are the first seasons I’ve watched or started since October 2022. Farzar (Netflix) Another animated series, this one brought to you by the same team responsible for Paradise PD. […]

10-List: Firewater’s Favorite Rush Songs

The death of Neil Peart in 2020 inspired me to listen to all of the Rush studio albums, both again and for the first time with some of the later releases. First, I assembled a list of my Top-25 tracks (the other fifteen are in the “honorable mentions” below). I was surprised that there were […]

10-List: Ten Movies That Were Better Than the Book

Here’s why this was a difficult 10-List to compile. While I’ve watched a lot of movies that were based upon novels, novellas, or short stories, I seldom think that the movies are better than the source material. For instance, a lot of people claim that Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining was better than the Stephen King […]

10-List: First Seasons (Since July 2022)

I watch two episodes of television each day. The first I watch before going to work each morning, and the second I watch during my lunch. This is on workdays, of course. I usually stick to the two-per-day rule on the weekends as well. You’re ahead of me on the math, I’m sure, and you […]

10-List: Firewater’s Favorite Blue Öyster Cult Songs

Back in the 1970s, I discovered the early novels of Stephen King, beginning with his 1978 masterpiece The Stand, which is still my favorite King story. A couple of epigraphs in that novel introduced me to musical artists who were not yet familiar to me. First was Bob Dylan, whose “Shelter from the Storm” was […]

10-List: Television Series that Ended Too Soon

Some of these had only a single season yet live on in the memories of those of us who watched them. Firefly (2002) Well, of course Firefly. You had to suspect that this Joss Whedon television series would be on the list. I’ve written about the series before. Since the past is the only predictor […]

10-List: Firewater’s Top-10 MCU Properties (New and Improved!!)

I assembled a comprehensive list of movies and television series that I believe would be considered to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not just motion pictures this time. This included the various Marvel One-Shot short films but excluded the pre-Tom Holland Spider-Man movies and the X-Men and Fantastic Four movies. I look […]

10-List: First Seasons Watched (Since April 2022)

While it remains true that I’m a throwback, a curmudgeonly oldster who lives a disturbing amount of his time in the past, adverse to change and seriously un-hip to the latest trends in fashion, music and technology, I still surprise myself, on occasion, by moving away from my comfort zone to try out a new […]
