Bad blogger!
MAN, I’ve got to update this more often. This month is kicking my ass, though; I’m taking a really awesome class on ethnicity and race in comics/graphic novels, but the reading is intense and I’ve got to write three papers in five weeks. Urk. Time for a media dump! I’ve… Read more »

Poor Woman’s Book Review: The Amelia Peabody Series
I love the Amelia Peabody mysteries. They play upon my love for strong female leads, Egyptology, romance, and a good mystery. I’ve had fun reading all of the books, but this one? Is probably my favorite since Crocodile on the Sandbank. Yet another enemy is after the Peabody-Emersons, this time… Read more »

I’m a wiener!
In a surprising bit of awesomeness, I WON SOMETHING! YAY! This is cool because I don’t think I’ve won anything awesome since those New Kids On The Block tickets when I was a kid. :D I won a copy of Ann Aguirre’s Wanderlust, so keep your eyes peeled for a… Read more »

Review: Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead
Wow. I really liked the first book in this series, Succubus Blues, but I didn’t expect this one to exceed the first. Succubus On Top is great. It’s funny, it’s sexy, it’s a good mystery, the characters are very likable… I can’t praise this book enough. We first met Georgina… Read more »

Concert meme
Because I need a break from redesigning my websites. What was the first concert you ever went to? What was your favorite concert? And which concerts do you regret not going to? My first, at least that I can remember, was New Kids on the Block. I won tickets off… Read more »

Review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Let me preface this review by saying that I’ve been an Indiana Jones fan for as long as I can remember. I was about a year old when Raiders of the Lost Ark came out, and I remember seeing Temple of Doom and Last Crusade in the theatre as a… Read more »
