There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
“A short story is a different thing all together – a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.” ― Stephen King, Skeleton Crew This is such a wonderful description of a short story. I could not resist sharing. Before I discovered Fragile Things and Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman I didn’t own many short story […]
Read More This Is A Different Thing All TogetherI know. I know. It is a bit repetitive, but I can’t stop singing this song! It’s like a Pavlovian response now. I realize it’s Friday, and the song starts playing in my head. What can you do but pass it on? (I also think of the movie Friday. “You ain’t got no job…” Every. Time.) […]
Read More Here’s My Weekend…I feel like a bad, bad blogger. This week, I’ve been traveling and reading but not blogging. However, you know with all this reading going on, you’ll get to hear about some books. I finished Kim Harrison’s A Perfect Blood, this is the 10th installment in the Rachel Morgan series, and I’m still loving it. As a […]
Read More A Perfect Blood: Book ReviewThe Dark Witch by Nora Roberts When I’m out and about, I always end up looking at books. If there is a book within 100 yard radius, I’m drawn to it. They’re treats to myself when I’ve been particularly good…or particularly bad…or just particular. (Fine, I’m just looking for an excuse to buy a book.) […]
Read More Wait, Haven’t I Read this Before?John Greene, it is a good thing that I expect my reading list to be endless, because you’ve just added to it…again. I found this video, 18 Great Books You Probably Haven’t Read. Now I want to read…most of them. Hitchhiking around Ireland with a refrigerator? Yes, this does indeed sound hilarious. This may actually […]
Read More My Reading List Got Longer…AgainI know, it has been forever since I got a book review up here for you. You’ll be shocked to hear that I keep getting distracted. I’m in the middle of at least five books. (There’s a list at the bottom of the post, just in case you’re curious.) The Andreas family is much the […]
Read More Yes, I Do Still Read: The Weird SistersI got a text just before we arrived at Circle Cinema for the Nation Theatre Live broadcast of Coriolanus starring Tom Hiddleston as Caius Martius Coriolanus and Mark Gatiss as Menenius. “It’s packed already,” the text read. Truthfully, I wondered how my friend defined “packed”. Every show I’d seen to that point had filled maybe half the […]
Read More CoriolanusHey, look what I found. If you’re looking to fir a good bedtime story, I’ve got one. Not only do you have Dr. Seuss, but you get Neil Gaiman’s reading Dr. Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham! Who does not love that, Sam I Am? ‘Til next time, Jessica
Read More Need A Bedtime Story?Recently, my Facebook feed has been inundated with content and videos from Upworthy, and I watch some of them. For the most part, I realize that these are a time suck. Maybe I get a bit of good news or get outraged over an injustice, but on the whole were they really worth my time? […]
Read More Oh No…I’m Getting Ideas AgainThis weekend I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I know, no one was more surprised than I. I actually made it to see a long-awaited movie on opening weekend. (I have issues over-committing my time. Who me?) I admit there were some nerves sprinkled in with the excitement as the previews […]
