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 »

Geeky Linkage
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 »

Comics v. Graphic Novels?
I’m taking a summer class on multi-cultural comics, and that (along with a rather heated discussion in a children’s lit class last spring) got me thinking about labels for this particular form of media. Do we call ‘em comics or graphic novels? When I was first introduced to the concept… Read more »

Review: Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead
Succubus On Top by Richelle Mead Love hurts, and no one knows it better than Georgina Kincaid. If she so much as kisses Seth Mortensen, the shy, sexy writer she’s been dating, she’ll drain his life force. Admittedly, the shape shifting and immortality perks of a succubus are terrific, but… 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 »

Call me Mrs. Spooky
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?
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 »
