Blogging Ideas
A few days ago a facebook friend debuted her new blog Big Ol' Spoon, which had inspired me to continue my overhaul of this journal, and maybe stop being so half-assed about it. I'm thinking weekly discussions on set topics might be a way to go. The book reviews can be one (Sundays, I think. Book reviews seem like Sunday thing). Another will be ( Read more... ) -

Yay! Another review is up. Look at me go.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Passover, Easter, Ostara, and/or secular celebration of (slightly, sometimes) warmer weather. I had a great family day yesterday, eating lamb and zucchini pie and ricotta cake (along with about 50 other things) with my Godmother's extended family. Did you do anything special -

I got really excited about posting my review...and now I'm gonna update all of you (and by that I mean "both of you") on the progress of my dirty hippie crusade. I just took my second shampoo free shower and although my hair is still wet it seems like it's acceptably un-oily. It's certainly not glorious, though, and the baking soda is making my ( Read more... ) -
First review is up!
Comments and critiques are welcome...but mostly, I just want you to go read The Gargoyle. -
The Gargoyle, Andrew Davidson
This is great. This is beyond great. I can't remember the last time I read a book landed itself *instantly* on my top ten list...Gargoyle will be getting Facebook recognition from me, and I am only 4 chapters in. Our protagonist is a former porn star who destroyed his livelihood in a near-fatal car crash- completely his fault, and completely ( Read more... )
