When I was about 13, I asked Nanny if I could read Clan of the Cave Bear, and the rest of Jean Auel’s Earth’s Children series. I quickly read through the series, and never returned them to her. Every summer from then on until I moved out of the house, I would pull out those dog-eared paperbacks and read them under the trees in front of our ( Read more... )

It’s only fair that after devoting a crazy amount of words to writing exactly why GiGi Devlin is terrible, I devote some time to writing about a my experience with a totally fabulous person: Kim Primeau at Topperhats.

So, remember back in September, when I ordered a super sexy corset from a seller (gigidevlin for the curious and anyone doing their research on her before buying) on Etsy? Yeah, I ordered an adorable corset back on September 13th from an Etsy shop. I do my research on sellers, and checked her feedback before I made the purchase. She bragged in ( Read more... )

While we eagerly await the return of Glee, Lost, Doctor Who and the latest from Survivor, Eddie and I have been watching a few other shows, just to see if we like them. Some aren't too bad, some... some are really, really cheesy.

First up, we've got Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which is the latest offering from Starz. Imagine, if you will, a ( Read more... )

Eddie had picked out 3 movies for us to watch with Mom and Brian the other night: Paranormal Activity, Jennifer's Body, and District 9. I didn't really think that either of them would be interested in District 9 (although Mom liked it when we did watch it), Brian would enjoy Jennifer's Body for the nubile girlies but Mom would probably hate it, ( Read more... )

I've ignored posting for a week or so. I'm going to blame Eddie, since he gave me a copy of the latest in Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series. I finished it the other night and spent a day or so seething over the ending, so I guess that I can post some more again ( Read more... )

Summers in Rhode Island are usually summed up by the weather men as “three-H weather”: hazy, hot, and humid. Anyone who has known me for any length of time knows that I spend my summers in jeans. I hate shorts. I really ( Read more... )
