02/09/12--00:00: I shouldn’t be surprised (chan 1960570)

…and actually, I’m not quite sure surprise covers my reaction. Outrage is in there, for sure, but there is an element of incredulity. During the RWI debacle, someone at the SBTB commented that it wouldn’t be long before there were cries from conservatives about how de ghays oppress and bully them–and not shortly after, this [...]


02/11/12--21:02: Godspeed, Whitney Houston (chan 1960570)

We were privileged to share your time here. Thank you. May you rest in peace.


02/12/12--02:59: RIP Whitney Houston (1963-2012) – Another Legend Dies Tragically (chan 1960570)

I’m sat here with tears running down my face. I’m actually grieving as if I’ve just lost a loved one. And in a way, I guess I have. I’d fallen asleep last night, and TTG had to wake me up to tell me the news that Whitney had died. I didn’t believe him at first, [...]


02/15/12--00:00: Azteclady does Karina Bliss’s, Mr. Imperfect (chan 1960570)

I can’t remember who recommended this book to me, but having read and enjoyed at least two other stories by Ms Bliss, I was happy to get my mittens on it. Of course, like countless other books I am ecstatic to get, it then languished in the humongous TBR Mountain Range—until SLWendy’s TBR Challenge brought [...]


02/15/12--13:45: Do You Show Some Cleavage, Wear Mini-Skirts and Stilettos? Then You’re A Slut. (chan 1960570)

Yeah, that’s right, you’re a slut. Well, according to this lovely Christian, God-fearing woman anyway. She despairs of young Christian women being a bit too liberal in their choice of clothing, and she urges them to cover up, lest the young men leer at them and assume that they are all kinds of sluttish goodness, [...]


02/16/12--00:00: Is it a new phenomenon? (chan 1960570)

Personally, I don’t think humans as a species can change quickly enough to make the overwhelming sense of entitlement I see all the time a new thing, but I wonder if the degree (that overwhelming part) is encouraged by the sheer numbers of people, the immediacy of social media, and the relatively sudden change from [...]


02/17/12--00:00: Azteclady does Lisa Kleypas’, Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor (chan 1960570)

Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, by Lisa Kleypas At just over 200 pages, this is another one of those skinny hardback novels put out by St Martin’s Press during the 2010 holiday season. In all honesty, despite liking most of what I’ve read by Ms Kleypas¹, I wouldn’t have picked this up for myself—$17.00 for [...]


02/18/12--03:31: KarenS Mini Review: Wanted By Her Lost Love by Maya Banks (chan 1960570)

I’m such a Maya Banks fangirl. Her writing seems to get better and better, and better. Read the KGI, series if you don’t believe me. She sent me three of her latest category books from the Pregnancy and Passion line, and I love her for that. Maya, Shiloh Walker, and Dee Tenorio are three authors [...]


02/19/12--22:00: Amazon.Com: They Aren’t Angels, But They Sure Are Cheaper. (chan 1960570)

There’s been a lot of anti-Amazon sentiments in recent times, and they’ve been boycotted at least once at some point, by people and organisations (including yours truly) who refuse to be taken in by their evil capitalist ways. If you believe what you read (and I don’t necessarily) they are the publisher’s enemy number one. [...]


02/23/12--00:00: This song (and performance) (chan 1960570)

Exactly how I’ve been feeling for the past…oh, four months. I’m old enough to know that time will make it easier–eventually. It’s the getting there that’s killing me.
