This review will contain spoilers. I literally do not know how to review this movie without "spoilers" because it is so about the references. I mean, it pulls in Spiderman villains and such which we haven't seen in the MCU to date. My short review (without spoilers) is this: It's a fun movie for Marvel… Continue reading Review: Spider-Man No Way Home

Review: Raya and The Last Dragon
I mentioned I watched this movie, but it wasn't really the focus of that post. So here are my thoughts on the movie. So I was distracted trying to pinpoint aspects of various cultures, and there really are some interesting references to various cultures. I, personally, really like it. I never thought about mismashing viking… Continue reading Review: Raya and The Last Dragon
Review: Plague, Inc.’s DLC The Cure
There is a video game called Plague, Inc. which was released in 2016. The description on the steam page is: Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself. Plague… Continue reading Review: Plague, Inc.’s DLC The Cure
Review: Tiger Burning Bright
HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THIS ALREADY. I feel like an idiot. I realized the other week, I haven't reviewed this one!! So I have to do this: Tiger Burning Bright by three of the most amazing women authors ever Andre Norton, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Mercedes Lackey. I first picked up this book from… Continue reading Review: Tiger Burning Bright
Writing: Science Fiction Evolution
I am reading some classic science fiction (Foundation Triology) and have found an understanding why I didn't enjoy science fiction as much as fantasy when I was younger. There is a trend in the genre to be plot, world, and science focused with characters only being a carrier for these things to be explored. Asimov,… Continue reading Writing: Science Fiction Evolution
Review: Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I’ve Learned
Anyone who reads my book reviews has probably noticed a dearth of non-fiction. I don't read much of it. I generally read for escapism and reading something real isn't escape. There are exceptions to this rule. Alan Alda is a fun actor. I've known of him pretty much my entire life - mostly from M.A.S.H.… Continue reading Review: Never Have Your Dog Stuffed: And Other Things I’ve Learned
Review: Spice and Tea (St. Augustine, FL)
I recently visited St. Augustine for a much-needed beach vacation. It was fabulous, and I was so excited to find Spice and Tea in downtown. First I smelled several teas, they smelled good. I finally settled on some 1 oz "sample" bags and 2 larger 4 oz bags: Emperor's Chai (4 oz)Peach Turmeric Herbal (4oz)Sinfully… Continue reading Review: Spice and Tea (St. Augustine, FL)
SCOTUS: Opinions Unread so far
I am still playing "catch-up" on May and this week I'm seeing the Supreme Court put out opinions - and some of the headlines I'm reading are making me want to drop important chores (like dishes) to the wayside and find out how some of these judges are leaning and WHY. I know, I'm a… Continue reading SCOTUS: Opinions Unread so far
Review: Diving Universe
So my general rule has always been to avoid reviews until I have read an entire series. The problems come when a series is begun, but incomplete. The author has more to write. Do I review or not? Well, I think I have decided if I have read all available published in a series, I… Continue reading Review: Diving Universe
Review: Things Fall Apart
I picked up this book several years ago and put it on my “to read” shelf with great gusto. And promtly forgot about it. I wish I had read it sooner. Hell, if I was a high school English teacher, this would be part of my curriculum. It is good. I can see why it’s… Continue reading Review: Things Fall Apart
