It’s been a while since I shared my feedback on movies or books with which I have been distracting myself. From the Netflix and the library… Fling (Brandon Routh, Steve Sandvoss, Courtney Ford, Shoshana Bush; 2008; dir: John Stewart Muller) The story of things going right and wrong for a young couple in an open [...]

Easter just isn’t the same without Dolores Park and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Also, not a bit of chocolate in this house. I haven’t even received any picture messages with my nieces and nephew in adorable Easter outfits (although I did get one from my cousin of her son). My trip to the downtown [...]

In the interest of keeping track for my end-of-year lists… Swallowing Darkness, Laurell K. Hamilton I seemed to have missed a book in the Merry Gentry series. Somehow, I glossed right over A Lick of Frost. It’s okay, I caught up on the story pretty quickly. The nice thing about this book is that although [...]

I’d like to write a review of The Phoenix Endangered by Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory. I’d like to, but I really don’t know what to tell you. The book is the middle installment in The Enduring Flame Trilogy (begun with The Phoenix Unchained, which I reviewed in 2007), which is itself a continuation of [...]

After reading over 55 books in 2007, 61 in 2006, and 37 in 2005, I’m rather aware that this year has seen a significant drop in my reading habits. I blame the months I spent studying for the LSAT every night, the cross-country move, and the recent poverty. I expect the next three years of [...]

Spoilerabulous, of course. With Gregory Maguire’s third adventure in Oz, we finally begin to get a sense of the larger story being told. As a standalone, Wicked challenged our assumptions about what motivates villains and introduces us to his vision of Oz, not as a land of good versus evil and one-dimensional characters, but a [...]

Now that I’m back in the habit of reading and watching movies again, I’ll try to post semi-regular book and movie reviews like I used to. I suppose it’s mildly more entertaining than my complaints about the part time job (I just finished 6-day-on and I’m looking forward to my last two-day break until December [...]

Since I’m working 9 of the last 12 shopping days until Christmas (plus Boxing Day and the two days after it), I may be a bit light on the blogging though the new year. I’ll try to get to my end-of-year lists and resolutions, but there’s no guarantee. The roomies and I are going to [...]

I decided to stay close to home on Saturday rather than hitting the Dyke March and Pink Party. I just wasn’t in much of a mood for crowds. Instead, I had one of the best Caesar salads in the city at L’s Caffe and finished reading my first for-fun book since starting to study for [...]
