Comic-con(fession)
July 29, 2007 – 6:43 pm
Elvis Stormtrooper. LeVar Burton. Giant Lego Chewbecca. Yes, it’s that time again! Comic-Con! And here’s my confessions for people on either side of the comic book divide, rendering me an outcast to both. I like comic books. I haven’t read many of them. Aside from Archie and Mad Magazine, I haven’t spent much time savoring [...]
Like a Drive-in Movie… Without the Cars, and with Aliens!
July 19, 2007 – 12:16 pm
Late one night, while cursing my inability to get to sleep and hopelessly roaming the interwebs, I ran across Rotten Tomatoes’ list of the top 100 sci-fi movies. Sitting alone in the dark at 3 in the morning suddenly seemed like a lot more fun. The list was great! Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure snuggled [...]

HaikuReview: Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer Cold, hungry, and scared, I shivered on my plush couch. Fully transported. It’ s impossible to leave this book at just a HaikuReview. I read the story pretty much straight through in one day, staying up until 3 in the morning because there was no [...]

An act of courage

HaikuReview: Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey (Isn’t this cover art great? You gotta love the library!) Traditions can suck. But even old ways can change, If you have Dragons. All I have to say is: ‘klah.’ Yes. If you’ve ever read any of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern books, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Klah is the [...]

Haiku Reviews
July 2, 2007 – 3:49 pm
I’ve decided to keep track of the books I’m reading. And, you Dear Reader, can follow along at home! I considered doing one word reviews, but I didn’t think I was really that pithy. So I’ve decided to create Haiku Reviews. 3 not-so-eloquent lines about the book I’ve just finished. The books will be mostly [...]

In honor of my first real blog post, Tony (evil genius) and I renovated my website. Fueled by Dr. Pepper and Pirate’s Booty, we slaved away until the wee hours, perfecting it just for you, Dear Reader. Among the phenomenal new features are: a ‘Links’ page, which is still a work-in-progress. an ‘Archive’ for past [...]
