This weekend I went to Powell's for the first time in forever and a friend was all, "Hey, lol, Hawaiian ghost stories!" because she lives to mock me and my choice in entertainment, always. And then I maybe bought the book and read a little bit of it and discovered The Drowning Pool in Waimea Falls Park on Oahu. The author says he spoke to a ( Read more... )

There was a book I read in high school (how so very long ago?) that I loved to pieces. Literally. I read it so many times the cover fell off, but I taped it back on like a champ. And then random pages fell out, and taping them back in didn't work so well. And then I lost track of it in the horror that was my room at the time, and when I found it ( Read more... )

Through magical means (and the use of pizza and booze as payment) a co-worker has brought my laptop back from the dead and up to lurching speed! Thus far, there have been no demands for brains (or the technological equivalent of) from the laptop, but the night is young! \o ( Read more... )

I just re-read Smoke and Shadows by Tanya Huff (it's a follow-up series to her Blood books and is just really awesome!) and am working my way through the other books in the series, and ahahaha. /o\

I started reading Clive Cussler's Atlantis Found today because I didn't have anything else to read and never actually read it when I was going through my Dirk Pitt phase. It's. Um. Interesting, is probably the best way to put it.

Cussler spends the first chapter talking about a meteor that hits Earth. From the very first sentence (The intruder ( Read more... )

This is just all kinds of brilliant. I await the day they make it into a movie. (I would either be the woman warning the scientists of the inherent danger of what they're attempting to do, or one of the first hapless victims taken out by the monstrosity they create ( Read more... )
