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 »

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 »

Geeky Linkage

Books, Commentary, Movies 0

There’s no better way to start the morning off right than with some good linkage. First up: Paperback Writer posts Skiffy Ten, ten links about writing science fiction. I’m somewhat of a stilted writer. I get ideas, I think about said ideas, and then sometimes I write them down, but… Read more »

Admittedly, the shape shifting and immortality perks of a succubus are terrific, but… Read more »

Concert meme

Commentary, Music 0

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 »

Commentary, TV 0

Good morning, dear readers. I’m kicking back with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea, watching some documentary about The Queen Mary 2 (it came on after a documentary on Easter Island…), and thinking about getting up and getting ready for work. You’ll notice that I’m not watching The X-Files. This… Read more »

Cyberpunk Recommendations?

Cyberpunk Recommendations?

Books, Commentary 5

I’ve been a fan of science fiction pretty much since before I could walk. My parents took me to see The Empire Strikes Back when I was a toddler, and I grew up on Star Wars, Star Trek, and other science fiction and fantasy staples. The thing is, most of… Read more »
