This charming book will lull you into its fantasies in a most beguiling way.” – Princess Grace of Monaco The Premise: Once upon a time, a tiger fell in love with a flower. The flower loved the tiger just [...]

Sometimes, you think that you can boil everything down to a simple platitude. And, when you finally realize that life doesn’t work that way, you are left to re-evaluate. I read Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar for the first time when I was 15. It seemed like the thing to read at the time. I [...]

For the most part, 2011 was not a good year for me. Yes, I made some great friends at work and am about to go into business with one of them. And, yes, I really enjoyed writing for TVGasm (Mob Wives starts tonight, and I’ll be recapping the hell out of it). But, for the [...]

So much has happened since the last time I posted. I had no idea that things would go as sideways as they did, but that’s just the way that life rolls. So, here is the synopsis: Work got crazy hectic.  I am at super work overload and it pays my bills so it’s the priority. [...]

In all these years, my opinion has not changed at all. Original post, except it was written a few years earlier and then there were server issues.

I am still working on the reviews of both Daria and Louisa May Alcott’s Blood and Thunder Stories. That has not changed. I have been thinking though. The thing that always kept me going as a blogger was my joy in reading books that had been banned. So, now I have to get back to [...]

I would like to thank all of my friends who have tried to convince me to change my mind about this over the years. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Each time you post the menu for your Oscar Viewing Party, or call me up all excited about the nominations, I stop and reconsider this [...]

I’ve thought many times about reviewing The Long Kiss Goodnight. It is one of my favorite movies mainly, because it features one of the best female lead roles ever! A few years back, I created a list of my favorite Ass-Kicking Heroines and while Charly didn’t make the original list (I was trying to focus [...]

I Netflixed Daria: The Complete Series as soon as it became available. The problem was that I hadn’t taken the time to move it up in my cue as I drifted through some of my more ridiculous life changes. But, I am going to remedy that mistake by presenting you with my interpretation(s) of the [...]
