Jeez, I haven't updated in awhile

nobody@vox.com(J) — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:01:54 -0700

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 14:09:44 -0700

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Sun, 27 May 2007 18:34:13 -0700

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 11:09:13 -0700

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 11:13:19 -0700

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...

The Last Boleyn: A Novel, by Karen Harper, is the story of Mary Boleyn (Bullen), Anne Boleyn's older sister. Much like The Other Boleyn Girl, by Philippa Gregory, this story describes Mary's life as a pawn in elaborate French and English court ...

Review: Execution, by Geoffrey Abbott

nobody@vox.com(J) — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 05:14:28 -0800

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 16:35:30 -0800

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:30:59 -0800

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

nobody@vox.com(J) — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 07:38:48 -0800

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 ...
