Ass-Kicking Heroines: An Addendum

by chasitymoody on November 19, 2007

A while back, I’m not sure how long ago, I found the movie review site Pajiba. I immediately bookmarked them because I loved their their snarky and erudite take on movie reviews. While I have disagreed with their reviews in the past, I’ve never felt the need say anything here about one of their opinion [...]

Harry Potter…Kind of.

by chasitymoody on August 8, 2007

So, I was going to post this ultra long review of the very last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7). I was mentally taking notes on the points I felt most mentioning while reading it. I was working out exactly how to describe how awesome the book is without revealing [...]

As My Childhood Continues to Slip Away

June 14, 2007

Another part of my childhood got chipped away this week. Mr. Wizard, also known as Don Herbert, passed away on Tuesday. He was 89 years old. I always felt smart after watching Mr. Wizard’s World on Nickelodeon. That my parents had grown up watching his show off and on didn’t really mean anything to me [...]

When I was 4 I was attacked by a German shepherd that almost killed me. 26 years later I still carry the scars physically and mentally. I was looking for the ice cream truck and to this day couldn’t tell you where the dog came from. Its not something I like to talk about. You [...]

Just Dew It!!!

July 21, 2006

Here’s hoping that you haven’t forgotten that there are still people out there whose very lives are changed forever by Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath. I know it has fallen out of media focus but there are still people struggling to recover. Just as importantly, there are libraries struggling to replace their books and rebuild. There are [...]

The Lending Library is Closed

September 9, 2005

Never again. I am never lending anyone a book ever again. I think every bibliophile comes to a place where they have to make that pact with themselves. I wasn’t always so stingy with the written word. There was a time when you couldn’t walk into my dorm room, apartment, and finally house without having [...]

Response to Daedalus

August 13, 2005

Introduction A commenter by the name of Daedalus sparked a discussion based on my last post. As I was responding to his last comment, I realized my comment was becoming very long. So, I decided to make a post out of it rather than rambling on and on in the comments section. Thanks for this [...]

Shel Silverstein, Vanity Fair, and a Bunch of Other Stuff

July 8, 2005

I have been somewhat busy lately. Not really busy, only somewhat. I say somewhat because while I am doing stuff, there are plenty of other things that I also need to do that I am simply letting slide. I have finished Shel Silverstein’s books of nonsensical poetry; A Light in the Attic and Where the [...]

>Also, the Athens Public Library has a Frankenstein Exhibit this Friday (April 29th). If you are interested in Shelley’s Classic, or in the themes it invoked, you may want to check it out. I looked at the calendar and realized that next week is final exams for UGA. After that, there is just the blissful [...]
