I’m still dwelling on Bill’s death. Yes, a measly human was one of the most interesting aspects of a comic about gods. Usually I’m not particularly enthralled with supporting casts either, but JMS did such a great job on the Bill+Kelda thing. And then he died… I wonder if that’s what JMS had planned or [...]

The Vanishing Tower (Elric 4) & The Bane of the Black Sword (Elric 5) both by: Michael Moorcock I haven’t even finished Bane yet, but I’m confident enough to write the review ahead of time. Here’s how it goes: Elric is chasing some guy that wronged him a book or two ago, and in the [...]

Go go oxford comma! Ahem. Anyway. So! I’ve always been somewhat of an evangelist – but not in the religious sense (although I did go through a phase that could be said to approximate that O.o).

American Colonies by: Alan Taylor Yeah, that’s why it’s been so long since I wrote a book review – because history takes me forever to digest. Don’t get me wrong – it’s very interesting (hence the whole me reading it bit) – I just have to eat it in bite sized pieces. Usually, to the [...]

As adults. As people burdened with sadness and life, muck-stained eyelids and hearts heavy with prescience and survivor’s guilt? I don’t know, but this is a damn cheerful sounding song isn’t it? OK this post actually has nothing to do with midlife angst, or with how late to the Phoenix party I am (isn’t that [...]

So… we’ve been, collectively, sick for over a week now. The boys first got whatever it is sometime around last weekend – brought home from daycare no doubt. Then I got it Tuesday, and Jen the day after or so. I missed two days of work and Jen missed one. And we’re still feeling like [...]
