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)....

Book-like meme

Lil did this first, Molly then got her hands on it. So I shall do my damage to it, because what's a meme without the added indignity of a haphazard blogger heeding it. Using the list below, bold all the titles that you’ve read. If you’ve read other titles by the same author, add them under that...

I have also not included the numerous, numerous viewings of 40 Year Old Virgin and The Wedding Crashers. Because it's...

Elitist and wrong

So.. my argument for homosexual Christian relationships makes it sound like that is the only type of "correct homosexuality".. eh.. see the previous post for more on that. I'm also one that's commited herself to no premarital sex. So.. yes, I'm insane. Oh my logic.. at the moment it escapes me. So.....

benji superstar - puppy power!

Those of you who are around my age may remember Benji, the "lovable mutt who had an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time, usually helping a person overcome a problem." Ah, Joe Camp. You creative genius, you. I've had a stuffed animal in the likeness of Benji almost as long as...

How to read Richard Wright without resenting it

Black Boy, Native Son, and The Outsider are all common high school and college required reads, but that doesn't mean you should grab the Cliff's Notes and never glance at a page of one of Richard Wright's famous and influential works. All three of these are very worthwhile reads, even for people who...

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...

100 Best Novels - how many have you read?

The Novel 100 is one man's ranking of the 100 greatest novels ever written. I'm a sucker for a list. I love to mark progress by checking stuff off. Given my poor memory, lists are the only way I can remember to do anything. I liked this list so much, I went out and bought the book. The author,...
