Quote: Chewy Walrus said: I read Anansi Boys. I really liked it, and would recommend it to anyone who thought that American Gods was too dense and involved. Anansi Boys is much more fun, dealing with the sons of Mr. Nancy - Fat Charlie (the normal one) and Spider (the godlike one) - after he dies at a karaoke bar... mid-song. There were several times when I couldn't help but laugh out loud. This book, due to the less serious nature (for the most part), was substantially shorter than American Gods - which should make Reax happy - making for an easy read. (I read it in three days and I'm widely known among my friends as a slow reader.) Good read... and not really a sequel of American Gods so much as a story inspired by one of its characters. I give it four of five icons of approval.
Thanks for the review, I'll check this out.
Quote: Loved The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I feel so very prepared for that movie now. There are a lot of movies coming out, or out already, that I wanna see (including that and Walk the Line... and Rent... and The Weather Man... and North Country... and a few that I probably don't even know that I wanna see yet)... but unfortunately, I don't have the funds to keep my theater-going streak alive.
I totally forgot about Rent. Here's the thing though, I saw the London production of this when Jesse Green was in it (apparently he's reprising his role in the movie - gahdamn the man can sing!) and the talent was fabulous, but I didn't love the show all that much - yet here I am kinda psyched and prepared to plunk down $10.50 to see it anyways. Maybe I'll like the movie version better - hell, that's what happened with Chicago...
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
