So when I moved, I obviously packed up my library, and damned if I haven’t figured out why every new housekeeper we get gives us the eyeball… LOL.
As an aside for writers, the absolute MOST valuable two (at least in my sideline) are…On Combat and On Killing. I can’t recommend them enough, not only for [...]

Well, as you saw from my conspicuous lack of a post on Tuesday, not much reading going on in the Schaefer household. It just seems crazed with the holidays and the pending leave I’ve got coming up for the holidays, so by the time I get home, I’m wiped. I basically cook dinner and plop [...]

M/M Monday…Miss Congeniality (2000) I watched this one again over the weekend. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed this movie, even through its semi-cheesy moments. Sandra Bullock has a real flair for comedy, something I guess we’re not really used to seeing from her. Never mind that Ben Bratt is some serious eye-candy in this flick [...]

I kicked ass and took names this week! I finished Sea of Dreams and sent it off to crit partner #1 (Pat) on Sunday, after cranking out 7,000 words over the weekend. Now she can tell me whether I’ve been smoking crack *g*.
Then, on Monday, I dove into Breath of Heaven, since that world is [...]

Half wolf, half man, Aragon has abandoned his brethren to repay a dept of honor; he is sworn to kill a rogue Blood Hunter, though exacting revenge will doom him to a ghostly existence trapped between two worlds. But when a mortal woman unexpectedly calls him to her side, the heat of her soft flesh [...]

This is actually more about the media in general than movies or music, so bear with me. This time of year I find myself getting crankier and crankier about the glut of holiday commercials I see even before Thanksgiving hits. For God’s sakes, our digital music stations on the tube are already playing seven (yes, [...]
