Last year I found J. Kaye’s Book Blog a little too late to join her reading challenge. I was determined this year to join the fun. I am challenging myself to read 100 books in the coming year. I have decided to make the challenge a little more challenging by stating that they have to [...]

Tikki tikki tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi-pip peri pembo
March 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Books
When I was a child, I loved reading Tikki Tikki Tembo out loud. Supposedly the author based it on a Chinese folk-tale but I have read a number of articles that dispute this. I think most kids enjoy the story because of the difficulty in repeating the young boy’s name. This has become a favorite [...]

January 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Books, Interesting
Pete bought me a book called, “Listography” for my birthday. Basically, you create an autobiography by making lists. I have found it challenging to think back on different times in my life to create the lists. Today I filled in my list of favorite films. This is what I came up with in no particular [...]

My Book of Awesome Quotes
February 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Books
Brevity is the soul of wit. I forget who said that but it captures how I feel about quotes. I like it short and to the point. I like the rush I get when I am inspired by the words of someone who like me takes the time to exam the world. Where we differ [...]

The “Bookinist” by Nils Holger Moormann
January 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Art, Books
I found this on Behind the Curtain’s blog. It is a chair by Nils Holger Moormann. The only thing that could make this a better chair would be if it had a motor and steering. I want this chair as much as I want a library with sliding ladders!

10 Things I learned from reading romances as a girl.
January 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Books
I love romance novels. My family and very close friends know this and take every opportunity to rib me about it. My husband loves to look over my shoulder and proceed to do his own dramatic interpretation of the book. This never fails to irritate me to no end. I think I found my own [...]

Paradise Kiss
January 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Books, TV/Movies/Music
I was listening to Franz Ferdinand’s song “Do You Want To” and it reminded me how much I loved the anime Paradise Kiss. The writer, Ai Yazawa, originally published the manga in the magazine Zipper. It was then adapted into a 12 series anime. There is fashion, love, transgenderism, and suspense. It does not get [...]
