Throne of Jade, Temeraire book 2 by: Naomi Novik Any book I blow through in two days must be good reading. I mean, really, that’s the core of it. If it keeps me going, then it’s good. Of course, the opposite isn’t exactly true – many things that are a dreadful slog for me to [...]

MBP = misidentified black person, courtesy of the late David Mills/Undercoverblack man. So yeah, the Washington Post, Obama & Malcolm X? : Maybe, as the link above mentions, it’s just some kind of web display flub but uh…? K.

Growin’ Up by: Bruce Springsteen lyrics from brucespringsteen.net I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch I strolled all alone through a fallout [...]

I haven’t done one of these in a while, so here we go. The Sheila Divine is a band we first heard while waiting in a club for a Frank Black show. We heard the track Hum (below) and it was so awesome I had to find out who it was. I asked around and [...]

OK, so it was actually Ninja Assassin that I/we watched last night. And it was everything that I exactly expected except a) way bloodier and b) they were missing the flashback scene where the protagonist learns (or hears about, or sees or whatever) the badass ability that lets him comeback from almost certain death and [...]

Last April, I think I did a post (or several!) for every day of April, as an “unofficial month of blogging“. Wow. Where did I get the time? We had a 2yr old and a 1 month old! I wasn’t even going to try and compete with that this year, but I’m trying to do [...]

I am continually amused by the interaction between the English verb know and subjective and objective truth. For instance, consider what you knew at 10, 16, 20 about life, purpose, love – anything nonfactual (although comparing factual knowledge can be fun too!). Compare that to what you know now. Cheesy, I know – but I’ve [...]

X-Factor 204: Ok, no one thinks those last panels reflect something that actually happened, right? At worst – two dupes in costume, I suppose? Still, hell of a morbid note to end on. It got me thinking about how different comics are these days. So much visible death and blood. Well, I suppose that’s what [...]

Thinking about You by: Radiohead Been thinking about you Your record’s a hit Your eyes are on my wall Your teeth are over there But I’m still no one And you’re my star What do you care? Been thinking about you And there’s no rest Should I still love you Still see you in bed [...]

Stormbringer by: Michael Moorcock I did not enjoy this book. I guess Elric is just not my thing. O.O I wish I had come into it 20 or so years ago, I’d be really interested to see what young me would have made of these. Well, they’ll be on the shelf… maybe someday one of [...]
