i I prebooked the Kindle edition of way back in February and have been waiting for it ever since. The previous installments of the Heroes of Olympus were pretty great and Riordan had built up the momentum beautifully. It wasn't as gripping as the Percy Jackson series but it was pretty damn captivating none the... Continue Reading →
The Perils of Callow Youth
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
Kids: The Beauty Of The Little People
Witnessed two separate instances of candid and unadulterated (excuse the pun) kiddy behavior yesterday. Enjoy reading about them.

This is a post just because. Just because someone did something that benefited them in no particular way but added happiness to my day. Just because someone took a little bit of trouble so I could do something non-critical and non-urgent and insignificant to everyone else but relevant and significant for me. Just because. And...

The Lure of The Terrible- Part Deux
I am ready to be included in the pantheon of martyrs now. I watched Sharknado. And am glad that I did because it is the MOTHER of all BAD movies. It is SO bad it's the BEST BAD movie of them all!It's BEYOND preposterous, ludicrous, over-the-top. It defies explanation and expression.And it's aptly summed up... Continue Reading →
Embracing the D-Word
One of our first pets is dead. We bought MLM his first goldfish pair exactly two weeks ago. He wasn't excessively fond of them; am glad about that since I had visions of his using the net or even his hands to want to talk to them or caress them. In fact even when he... Continue Reading →
