I honestly cannot remember the last time I fell so hard so fast for a new album.  Granted, I heard a few of the songs at the two concerts I went to last year and have listened to "The Freedom Song" and "I Won't Give Up" roughly 5,000 times already, but from first note to last, Jason Mraz's Love Is a Four Letter Word is incredible.  Part of me very ( Read more... )

4/26/12: I am stickying this so I can update the book list with reviews as I finish them.  That way, maybe I'll actually READ them instead of stacking them up and forgetting how excited I am about them.
Also, I don't know exactly what the item id in the URL corresponds to, but look at this one.  Dude.  I'm pretty impressed with my timing.

This took me a few extra days to get done because I've been having some (read: massive quantities of) trouble sleeping, because I decided Monday to take a spontaneous trip to the beach, and because this section of the book is not holding my interest all that much.  Trigger warning for discussions of religion and right-wing politics in #2 and sexual ( Read more... )

1) Okay, Alfred, you know what?  You've got to stop calling him "Master Bruce" when he's out patrolling the city.  You know what's super-not-secure-at-all?  Wireless communication systems.  You know who would be a big freakin' target for obsessive, unemployed, disenfranchised criminal hackers?  The dude who prowls around a major metropolitan area ( Read more... )

I have mentioned the fact that my eyelids crack open and burn like hell every time I cry even a little, right?  Because somehow, despite how clear I've made it, Jason Mraz still hasn't gotten the message.  He had the audacity to write, perform, and release this incredible song, so I am holding him personally responsible for the pain I'm going to be ( Read more... )
