I'm watching Castle re-runs on TNT, and Head Case (4x03) is on. I haven't seen it in ages, so no real commentary, but years later, I am still disappointed that an episode about a cryogenic storage facility didn't take the opportunity for a Futurama reference. I mean, come on! -
The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan

The Husband's Secret was a selection for my book club and quite a ( Read more... ) -
Random TV thoughts
We were watching the season finale of Almost Human (have I mentioned it's awesome?) the other night and saw a commercial for The Following. There was a close-up of an actor who looks just like Aaron Ashmore, who plays Steve Jinks on Warehouse 13. I know the upcoming season of WH13 will be the last (fucking SciFi never letting their shows go past ( Read more... ) -

(Re-posting this entry because it somehow got deleted from my journal.)There are lots of things I'd like to write about, but I have to wake up at the crack of dawn tomorrow, which might as well be the middle of the night for me, so just a quick thought for now ( Read more... ) -
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
Cutting for Stone begins with birth and death, when Sister Mary Joseph Praise, a nun at an Ethiopian mission hospital - known locally as Missing Hospital - dies in childbirth with twin boys. Thomas Stone, the surgeon who fathered the twins and had no idea of the pregnancy, is shattered by her death and abandons the twins in the first hour of their ( Read more... )
