Sometimes I Get Up on a High, High Horse
So there has been an ad on Chico Craigslist for about a week now that has really been bugging me. It bugs me because I am a visual artist, hoping to make my creative work something of a viable part-time job. Perhaps this will help you understand why I find the following ad so offensive:

We Cut the Legs Off of Our Pants, Threw Our Shoes Into the Ocean
EclipseSigh. Honestly, this book was so (relatively) unnecessary to the "canon" of Twilight I barely even remember what happened. It took me weeks of thinking to even come up with a handful of events in this inexplicably massive tome ( Read more... ) -
'Cuz I Never Sail at All, Except When I Deux
It only took me two weeks or so to sufficiently calm down from my last diatribe, and I am back for the next installment. I'm not sure I remember this one too well, so bear with me.

If You Don't Think, You Shouldn't Speak
So I just read the most lovely first chapter of a new serial web-novel entitled The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making. The title is most definitely indicative of the writing style and I would recommend it for fans of Carrol or Pullman. Fanciful but not twee. It can be found here ( Read more... ) -
