Jeez, I haven't updated in awhile

2007-10-19T02:01:54Z

I just realized my last post was in July. Whoops. I still read all my neighbors' blogs, though. :) Still currently embroiled in my first semester of law school, probably not as stressed out as I should be - but definitely busy. My goal for this...

Whoops

2007-07-31T21:09:44Z

I should probably update more - goodness knows I've read a lot of books and even watched a few movies/television shows since the last time I updated - but I am in the middle of a move, and starting law school. I hope law school won't be so traum...

Review: The Stolen Child, by Keith Donohue

2007-05-28T01:34:13Z

I just finished The Stolen Child, which is essentially a fairy tale about changelings. It is beautifully written, but overwhelmingly sad. The Amazon.com synopsis reads: From Publishers Weekly Folk legends of the changeling serve as a touchston...

Review: Falling, by Christopher Pike

2007-04-12T18:09:13Z

I haven't read a Christopher Pike book in years, not since his Starlight Crystal era (ten years ago? More?). When I was browsing the new book section at the library, I was surprised to see this on the shelf - I don't know why, he seems to be in...

Review: The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly

2007-03-23T18:13:19Z

I love fairy tales, particularly the original versions where the bad children get eaten by monsters in the Black Forest and no one ends up living happily-ever-after. I used to spend hours reading my mother's childhood fairy tale books, which wer...

Review: Execution, by Geoffrey Abbott

2007-02-03T13:14:28Z

Sometimes I think that not everyone shares my macabre sense of humor, and then I feel slightly bad about laughing out loud while reading books like this in public. In my defense, this book is written in a darkly humorous tone, so it's hard not t...

Pete Yorn - Nightcrawler

2007-01-24T00:35:30Z

Years ago, I saw Pete Yorn open for Semisonic (yes, I know), and had one of those incredibly rare, "Wow, this guy's got something" moments as he played songs from Musicforthemorningafter and a cover of a Bruce Springsteen song. His act was one o...

Review: Several Night World books by L.J. Smith

2007-01-23T03:30:59Z

I'm a vampire junkie. I have acquired a well-developed taste of exactly what I like in vampire novels, and it all started pretty early in my youth with Christopher Pike books and the like. When I was 11 or so, I got into L.J. Smith by reading he...

Review: Sony 30GB HDD Handycam

2007-01-09T15:38:48Z

I got a camcorder for Xmas/graduation, which I researched before I bought. I've never had a digital camcorder before, and I had some very specific ideas about what I wanted. First of all, I wanted something that would be easy to whip out at a ...
