Blog Party#15: Literary Party, The Round-Up

(apologies: I've been fighting with Blogger for hours!) Welcome to Blog Party#15! Small group tonight, but that's ok. We went a bit high-brow this time, so a drop in attendance was expected. Actually, it's just about right for a meeting of a book club! How ironic. Well, tonight's party is all about...

EUROPE 2008!! BABY, HERE I COME!

Okay, so about a year ago I was very excited about plans my mamma and I had made to travel to Europe together and visit a bunch of places and people and I wrote all about how it was going to happen and I put the time-off request in at my job and all that jazz - way, way in advance. Then it was...

Plath and Pride...A deadly combination.

Two things you do not want to do if you wish for your afternoon to be pleasant: #1. Do not watch Kiera Nightly in the movie “Pride and Prejudice”. #2. Do not read Sylvia Plath... at the same time! What was I thinking; maybe I was feeling depressed and just wanted to make myself feel worse? I...

Bollywood Movies

So, yea, I've become sort of obsessed with Bollywood, as I'm sure you all know by now. I haven't done any reviews of movies (hardly) since I know no one is interested. But, just because, I'll do them here. The bollywood movies that I've seen since I became obsessed (what? 2 weeks ago? Sad, I know)....

2007 movies

Here's this years movie list. I started keeping a list part way through 2006. This is almost a complete listing - I have not included any movies I turned off or lost interest in. I have also not included the numerous, numerous viewings of 40 Year Old Virgin and The Wedding Crashers. Because it's...

DISCRETION: The quality of being discreet; circumspection. SYNONYMS prudence, discretion, foresight, forethought, circumspection. I just read this NYT Sunday magazine article by former Gawker editor Emily Gould, which was very provocative and I'm curious about what other Voxers think. [From Valley...

QotD: The Best Part of Waking Up

What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice? Homemade or store-bought? I like how this Question feels the need to give examples of morning beverages, as though someone might mistakenly write "eggs and toast" or "blue." In any event, this is a squishy Nerf ball of a question, which is...

Commercialized Love Day

So, the dreaded day has come. On the one hand, it got me out of hiding! On the other, the PINK everywhere was SUFFOCATING. A lot of things have changed since summer. For one, my friends have extended, though my social shell is uncrackable. I am now prepared for High School(got all my courses...

Fandom Post: Twilight, Katie Chandler Series, Jinx and Enthusiasm.

Hi there! It's Monday and I'm still in transitioning from the Fourth of July weekend so I'm in the mood for some procrastination. I thought why not put it to good use and post up another fandom post. Let's see, one of the news in the Twilight Fandom is how the upcoming Penelope DVD (July 15th is the...

2007 Books

And here's my book list for 2007. This, like the movie list does not include any books I didn't finish. It also doesn't include any cookbooks I read. (R) means repeat reading. Still sick, but feeling better this morning! I'm going to attempt a shower and some cleaning. Then I'll be sitting down with...

My First Post (Or: Wow, what a strikingly interesting title)

Why create another blog? Oh, how this question has plagued me. Why get sucked back into the worldwideweb to become dependent once again on the high of creative writing, on the adrenaline rush of receiving comments, on the thrill of reading blog after blog late into the night...::shiver of...

The joys of used book shopping

(happy sigh) While nothing--and I do mean NOTHING--beats the experience of actually browsing a used-book store--I'm willing to settle for the online version when I can get such deals as I have today. For $35 (and that includes shipping) I have purchased fourteen books. You do the math. Subtract...

First post!

Except not really. I had a vox blog for a while. It was titled "Where's My Mr.Darcy" and I chronicled my dating shenanigans and then I got a boyfriend. Ironically enough, me and my man didn't even date. We just jumped right into a serious relationship. 7.5 months later we're still not driving each...

Happy President's Day!

First off, I have some suggestions for our Superblog, if you're maybe stumped on what to write about. And don't give me any excuses about having oodles of work or being in a foreign company, because I don't buy it. Nothing should come between a girl and her fashion blog. So, possible topics: --Why...

A Meme for the Literary

Several different blogs I read (in the school/education area) have this meme, which I challenge my readers to do, too. I've always considered myself "well read," but this showed me I'm not as well read as I thought. I guess I enjoy the detective novels too much! Here's what you do: Look at the list...

arts is good food

My brain is breaking that it is July 8th. How the freak is it nearly mid-July? June was a whirlwind of work and travel and work travel. And in between, we've been rehearsing the play (which opens in less than 2 weeks.) And in the little time that I was home, I've been cocooning myself in a blanket...
