W T F? That’s Lady Deathstrike. With 8 claw penises piercing Wolvy from behind. Uh hu. It looks like he might be kind of enjoying it though. SERIOUSLY. Does every face Greg Land traces have to come from porn??? Every single one? And why is she straddling him? She wouldn’t even have the leverage to [...]

Blue Adept by: Piers Anthony I figured I’d just killed two birds with one stone…except that our metaphorical stone here would be the same size if it was two separate stones or one big one, and I’m not sure about the practicality of hurling a huge stone and getting the birds to stay in place [...]

Naya Hushblade: I love everything about it – the casting cost, p/t, abilities, and the art. Especially the art. Not only does it convey some good flavor: Naya invader in Esper lands – for the non-Magic geeks, the materials making up the wall behind her give away a little about her location – but it’s [...]

Well. Hmm. I was surprised that the series finale was a normal length episode — I found that very odd. I’ve heard they’re cutting back on the episode count for next season though, so maybe it’s all a budget thing. At least one scene was really poorly done. The whole zapping Claire out the door [...]

by: Peter Hamilton I plowed throught this book…I think I made it through in 3 days. Every chapter was good. Seriously, I don’t remember any throwaways – everything was valuable to the reader. It was one of the most engaging books I’ve read in a long time; quality quality. What to focus on…well…the book-within-a-book angle [...]

I haven’t done this in a while…but I’ve got too many links to get them out in any speedy manner if I do it one by one. So. BOOM: How to Destroy the Government in 3 Easy Steps : The conservative strategy, or so I’m told. Was Lincoln racist? An examination of his changing political [...]

Fairly decent, even though focused on the guy that should really be dead – although hey look, now there’s not even a way to do that! Yay :(. His powers…again..way out of control. How many power-people are there anyway? It looked like they had dozens locked up a few episodes back, and Sylar must have [...]

by: Piers Anthony I occasionally go back and read a series from my childhood that I’ve mostly forgotten – usually because there’s nothing new I want to read for months at a time. This time around it’s the Apprentice Adept series from Piers Anthony (I read A LOT of his books as a kid). I [...]

I hate knowing about author’s personal lives because it makes me harder to enjoy their books knowing they were written by a douche. Good thing I wasn’t particularly motivated to read any of his new books anyway – although I did see Ender in Exile on the shelf recently and at least made a mental [...]
