I love books. I love, in particular, books that are still printed on paper. I love tucking one in my purse, being able to curl up with one in my lap, so on and so forth. I love the feel of paper under my fingertips as I read. E-books? Sound… Read more »
I work as a tutor, and it’s getting to that point in the semester when we’re swamped with science papers. Running away with the circus never looked so good. Deep breaths, Fangirl. Deep breaths. I should be writing a short paper on Hitchcock’s Rear Window, but… well, I’m sure you’ve… Read more »

Today’s post examines steampunk as a genre and looks at the reasons for its sudden surge in popularity. She also recommends a number of steampunk books, and is giving… Read more »
A drive by post, as I’m still Really Freaking Busy. Bitch Magazine needs your help! In order to stay alive, Bitch needs to raise $40,000 by October 15th. Bitch is a great resource for feminist pop culture, and I’ll be EXTREMELY sad if it closes its doors. I chipped in,… Read more »
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a grad student. I’m working on my MA in English, and the fall semester started three weeks ago. Hi, I’m drowning in work. On top of reading a metric crapton of material for three classes (Teaching Composition, Film Theory, and Tolkien), I’m also editing my… Read more »
