Always a sucker for a good zombie story, I’ve been reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies lately. After reading this, and considering my stance on chick lit, I have come to realize that I can actually stomach chick lit IF it has a healthy dose of zombies. Since I have read Pride and Prejudice before … Read more
The Red Queen and I caught Julie & Julia tonight at the local theater. Being a fan of cooking and Julia Child, I was happy to see it even if it is a movie based on Chick Lit. Meryl Streep is awesome as is to be expected and Stanley Tucci is perfect in the role … Read more
Today there was supposed to be a hurricane hitting Hawaii. As is often the case, the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm, then a little later, tropical depression. Weather here on Maui is not something that can be predicted, which is why I never really pay much attention to news reports that state that … Read more

This in and of itself was bad, but toss in the fact that this person was also incredibly self-absorbed and you have a recipe for disaster. When someone … Read more
This movie is FILLED with so much WIN it is painful to have to wait even a moment for this thing to come out. I cannot imagine a world in which this film doesn’t sweep the Academy Awards. I mean, c’mon! Any zombie movie is worth its weight in gold, but this one… wow. I … Read more
I was just listening to a podcast about transorbital lobotomies. It was a practice that was quite common in the US in the 50s. See, too many people back in the 50s were having extreme mood swings and becoming too “rebellious,” so some clever dude, good old Walt Freeman to be exact, developed a procedure … Read more
I was watching this special about fish populations and how it only takes about 2 years of human inactivity for fish populations to return to near normal. This then prompted thoughts about human population and I began wondering when scientist will recognize the fact that all humanities problems stem from overpopulation of humans. Cut out … Read more
