And I am enjoying it muchly.
It’s a fucking tome of a book, the first in what looks like a fucking marathon of a series. I love the short chapters and how it doesn’t dwell on shit but gets right to the point. Makes it very easy to read.
In Review
#AmReading… still Reverie
I hate it when characters make epically stupid choices, it makes me want to throw the book across the room. Instead, I end up speed reading the stupid parts, which usually ends up with me DNFing the book itself. Ugh.
#AmReading… Reverie
Reverie is getting pretty good. Starts out with lots of questions and then really warms up around chapter 5. I like the revelation that the main character has lost more than just short term memory.
Ramblings: Whores, Tyrants and Damsels in Distress
Remember that post where I ❤️ happy endings and my consumption of a metric shit-ton of romance dramas? Well, there’s a light side and a dark side to that and I just finished watching the dark side. I’m not going to tell you the name of the drama, but it was bad and not just … Read more
Ramblings: Stupid Horse Things on TV no. 167
This one comes to you direct from Love Like the Galaxy (LLTG), an otherwise excellent Chinese historical drama with all the right feels. Except for the horses. If you’re a horse person, the horses (and one fetlock in particular) are gonna knock you right out of the serenity. LLTG’s opening scenes are beautiful (check out … Read more
Ramblings: iFit: The Bigfoot Challenge
This storyline makes me worry for the human race, it truly does. For those not in the know, iFit is one of those virtual gym memberships that syncs with your treadmill (and/or elliptical or bike, I think they even support rowing machines??). You choose a program, press the go button and you’re magically transported to … Read more
Ramblings: I ❤️ happy endings
Before I get into the meat of this post… Merry Festive Season! I hope you have (or have had) a wonderful time with your nearest and dearest. Now… onto this week’s ramble! Would it surprise you to know that I watch a metric fuck-load of romance dramas, and not the tragic, teary ones mind you, … Read more
Ramblings: Could we have a few more Lando Molaris, please?
Just started watching Handsome Siblings. Nice action sequences, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the guy who plays Jiang Feng in something before and… I’m feeling the need to get a little, tiny, extra squeaky violin out for the big bad, Yaoyue. The script tries so hard to give her a decent reason to kill the … Read more
Ramblings: Londo Molari
If you don’t know who Londo Molari is, you need to go watch Babylon 5. The graphics may be dated and some of the acting in season 1 may lack a little something (I’m looking at you Commander Sinclair), but it’s a fabulous story with awesome characters, and Londo Molari is one of the best. … Read more
Ramblings: I want to like it but… gag
Rewatching Elektra (the one with Jennifer Garner) while writing a newsletter and… I am still pissed that they chose that storyline. I mean… what‽ How naff is that? There are so many awesome stories they could have pulled from the comics and that Disney-esque thing was what they came up with? Gah. Bring on the … Read more
