On our year-end trip we broke away from Vietnam for five days to visit Singapore! I’ve heard rave stories about S’pore from friends for years, and since watching Crazy Rich Asians, this place has been on my list. Let’s dive in! Firstly, Singapore (to me) is the city of cities. A tiny city-state, this place …
Something a little different this week. I actually went to an amazing writing conference last week, and I was planning to blog about that this week, but then this showed up in my feed and derailed my brain. Don’t worry, I’ll talk about the writing seminar next time. But in case your sports bone is …
I am three episodes into Paper Girls on Amazon Prime and I. Am. Loving it. As someone who grew up right through the rip roaring 80s, this show hits all my buttons. Latch key kids, riding around on their bikes getting into all kinds of trouble, this isn’t just my jam, this was actually my …
Back from Atlanta and had a blast at DragonCon last weekend! I’ve been to smaller cons before, but this was my first “big league” con and, wow, what an experience. I think this year’s attendance was capped at 60,000 and even that was a little overwhelming. I can’t imagine what it will be like next …
If you aren’t watching The Sandman on Netflix yet…well, why not? It. Is. Amazing! I own the entire run of Sandman in trade paperbacks (not savvy enough to have collected them as monthlies), and while I love the entire run, there are a few storylines that (for whatever reason) resonate with me and have remained …
Just finished season three of Umbrella Academy on Netflix last night and still really enjoying one of the best comics adaptations on TV right now. (Along with Sandman, Netflix is killing it!) Spoilers below… . . . . . . Full disclosure, Hotel Oblivion is the one arc I haven’t read yet, but I will …
The Art of Prophecy starts with the dazzlingly simple idea: What if the prophesied hero…isn’t?
If you’re here because you’ve been following my read-along for weeks and week, thank you very much! As I said last week, the experience of reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes was very gratifying. I’m also glad I got the chance to read it and share my experiences with my mom. For her it …
Yes! Another chapter that closely follows Guo Jing’s progress on the steppe. I feel like things are hitting a groove here so let’s get started… (spoilers!)……The Six Freaks are well and truly worried now that they suspect that Guo Jing is secretly training under another master. How else would he know neigong? Who is it …
The beginning of the chapter wraps up the aftermath of the Seven Freaks’ fight with Twice Foul Dark Wind. They descend the mountain and find Senggum’s son, Tusakha there with his father’s leopards. The leopards are eating Copper Corpse’s … well, corpse. Iron Corpse, aka Cyclone Mei, is no where to be found. Tusakha is …
