I thought I was going to love Scales & Scoundrels Volume 1: Into the Dragon’s Maw. The cover looks funny and has some interesting looking characters. However, from page one I disliked Luvander. I was shocked (yes, my biased showed through) that Luvander is female. The way they introduce her, she has typical scoundrel qualities that in graphic novels stereotypically lends itself to a young male character. But the fact she is a she was introduced very casually. The other players of a very Dungeons […]
Thank you emmalita
Cannonball gift exchange is one of my favorite Christmastime traditions and this year my not so secret Santa was our Bingo organizer extraordinaire emmalita! Thank you for Ellie Kemper’s My Squirrel Days (my library doesn’t have it!), a Michelle Obama coloring book and the Kindle edition of Snoop Dogg’s From Crook to Cook which I did not know I needed but am super excited about.
“One never knows when one is behaving like a creep; probably even that astronaut lady who drove for two days to beat up her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend didn’t think twice when she bought those adult diapers. It just felt right.”
Here are all of the things Dave Holmes and I have in common: We went to college together and have a few of the same friends. We both worked as DJs at WCHC. We both remember what it was like to anxiously await the arrival of a new J Crew catalog. We can both easily drop SNL’s Gary Kroeger into a conversation. We both love music. Here are some ways that Dave Holmes and I are different: I have never been on MTV. I’m not […]
My First Ever DNF featuring Paul, Mary, Mel, and Sue <3
American on Purpose opens with a chapter on the white house correspondents dinner which I read just after reading this article. It made it feel a bit sour in my mouth. I bought this book, because, despite my rather lukewarm rating for Between the Bridge and the River, I did think it showed potential and people here were raging about how this biography was really good. I persevered through it, somewhat, but it was honestly a slog. It is mainly written for Americans, and there […]
Robert Webb is not David Mitchell
Robert Webb is the other half of the comedic duo featuring the greatest love of my life. So when he published How not to be a boy a couple years back I was CERTAIN I was gonna buy his book. The man behind some of my favourite comedy, writing about his life through a feminist lense. SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. But yah. I never got round to it. Despite seeing his adorable face in the window of every fucking Waterstones for a year I […]
“A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.”
The press comes to Ankh-Morpork. Chaos, of course, ensues. William de Worde, a ne’er do well noble who is ashamed of his noble heritage, has until now made his living by painstakingly collecting news and sending off a sort of newsletter to foreign peoples of import who are willing to pay him for it. Then some dwarfs roll into Ankh-Morpork with something called a printing press, and suddenly, what if they printed a bunch of them and sold them for like, fifty cents? And maybe […]
