Amazingly Disappointed

Casey?!? Really? First Dale and now Casey? I was almost as shocked as Jamie when Casey had to pack her knives.

Okay, enough about that...or there is more but I will save that for other places.

Some pocket reviews of media.

Black Swan was...well...I am still processing it. It was beautiful and terrifying and while I have heard it described as a horror film as well as a sports film, it is neither and both. You know the sense of dread you feel when watching Jim commit to doing what he has to do in 28 Days Later? Yeah, that feeling is almost always there.

I am halfway through The Unnamed and I am wondering a couple of things. Why didn't I read this book last year and has Joshua Ferris become America's best young novelist?

Oh, and for those of you who like comics, I, Zombie has gotten really good and really weird. It is not a great book, but it is a fun one.

Thank you, Maura

No, this isn't too harsh at all!




(I hope that it was meant in jest.)

Reading Choices

So, I am going to spend a good portion of my day reading and avoid the rain and such...

Should I read comics (including Serenity: Float Out)

Or should I spend my time on a book that I have tried to get to and through three times already?

Yes, three times.

Now, I do love this author but the Baroque Cycle drove me to distraction and it was a struggle to finish it.

And now, I am going to go into that breach again and try to read Anathem.

Why?

Because I am Edmund Frakin' Hillary of excessively long fiction.

A Cute Little Dead Girl

I was cleaning up a drive yesterday when I came across a repository of stuff that I always wanted to save but never figured out where to put it.

In it was a directory called Lenore which I thought contained the first nine comics...




But...

It also contained all the animations as well.

This made me very very happy in a very sad way.
