Aang the Avatar Flies into My Heart as the Last Airbender

Netflix, which I will do a brief, shameless plug for, is a great service. When the Hollywood Video in my town closed down, we switched to Netflix, and we’ve liked the service, especially the instant streaming. Over a month ago, I found all 3 seasons of the Nickelodeon TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender, and [...]

Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats

The weekend of August 7th, to celebrate both my birthday and our anniversary, my husband and I went to the Tuachahan ampitheater in St. George, Utah, which is 4 hours away from where we live.  My parents met us there, and I and Matthew had front row tickets to see the musical, Cats, which I [...]

Dragon Age: Origins

A few weeks ago, I opened my mail slot (I don’t have a box) to find this month’s issue of Game Informer.  That’s the magazine of my favorite local video game store, Game Stop.  Bioware, my favorite game company, has officially announced the sequel for its award winning, best selling game, and my current favorite, [...]

The Book of Eli

Now, normally I don’t watch R-rated movies, and I had no interest in watching this one, but a commentary from the great commentator Molotov Mitchell  really caught my interest about the movie The Book of Eli.  Here’s the clip you can watch before I give my own review of the movie.  Please, go ahead and [...]

Glenn Beck’s American Revival

Glenn Beck’s name seems to evoke a lot of emotions from a lot of people, not all of them good.  I notice, however, that his detractors largely, simply make fun of him, and don’t even try to reason and disprove his positions with facts.  Namecalling, in my opinion, is the last refuge of idiots, cowards [...]

Hell’s Kitchen and Gordon Ramsay

Well, it’s back for a 7th season, another round of wannabes with the shouting of “Donkey!” ringing through the halls again.  Chef Gordon Ramsay is back for more time in Hell’s Kitchen.  I’ve watched this show regularly since the 5th season, and have watched older seasons online as well.  This season the prize is the [...]

Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

We live in the greatest country in the world!  Even though times may be tough, we still have things better off than any other place in the world.  Be grateful and proud to be here!  God, bless and protect the U.S.A.!

Mythology from Gail Carson Levine

I adore fairy tales.  I grew up on them.  Some may say they’re violent and teach sexist values, but personally I see nothing wrong with teaching kids about honor, helpfulness, obedience, and that good is rewarded while bad is, inevitably, punished.  Every kid needs some magic and  hope in their lives.  Those things, coupled with [...]

E3 – Video Gaming Heaven!

I’m a gamer.  I’ll admit, I love fragging geth or reapers, love swinging  lightsaber or sword or katana, or casting that AOE (area of effect, covering a large area) spell that will make my enemies cower before me like the digital goddess I am, doling out the hurt and the justice.  I’m actually nowhere near [...]

Doctor? Doctor who?

Who’d’ve thought that a black and white TV show aimed at younger teens and ‘tweens, teaching science and history using a sci-fi backdrop to make it fun, would not just be popular, but last for nearly 50 years?  The Doctor probably would’ve thought so, but then, he also would have gone and seen it for [...]
