Not About Heroes
So I can’t blog about last night’s Heroes episode because the men’s basketball game ran long and I haven’t watched it yet. Alas. Continue reading

Heroes Catch-Up: What Gives, Tim Kring?
I lose at blogging. But Heroes has been losing at TV, to be honest. Uninteresting new characters, unconvincing romances and a scattered storyline are combining to break down my interest, which breaks my nerdy little heart a little. But all is not lost; the show’s creator, Tim Kring, recently told Entertainment Weekly that he knows the show’s been sucking (my word, not his). Continue reading
Heroes: Oops.
So, yeah. I dropped the ball on the Heroes recaps. In short: The show got really stupid. Then it got a lot better. Then it got stupid again. Now, lord knows what it’ll do, as the Writers Guild of America strike will take its toll on this and every other show (note: I’m not complaining! I’m on the side of the writers, of course. But it’s a fact that this is going to disrupt programming all the same). Continue reading
Divinity
A few weeks ago — or maybe it was more like a month, but it’s unimportant — I went to one of these lovely Music Industry of Eugene events, where writers, booking folks, venue owners, radio people, studio owners, PR folks and more (I’m sure I forgot something pretty key) get to meet face to face to chat and mingle and simply find out who we all are. I kind of love this; it just always helps to actually know who someone is. Continue reading
Ducks vs. Trojans
What’s all this about Ducks vs. Trojans? We know what you’re thinking. But Ducks clearly need Trojans, as seen here: Continue reading
OH EM GEE: Short Film Brilliance Edition
Best. Movie. Ever. That? IS TOTALLY MY CAT. (By Simon Tofield, whose work you can see here.) PS. Heroes sucked way less this week! More on that later. Continue reading
Heroes 2.3: “Kindred”
To those, what, two? maybe? people who check for Heroes posts: Sorry! It is still Beast of Eugene time. Blogging falls by the wayside. It’s sad. I like blogging. But there it goes … Continue reading
Heroes 2.2: “Lizards”
Bad Molly: I couldn’t, for some reason, stop talking during this episode. What’s that? Who’s he talking about? Isn’t that related to X, Y and/or Z? What did Mr. Bennett mean by that? Etc., etc., etc. No wonder my boyfriend started doing laundry instead of watching with me. Sorry, yo. Continue reading
OH EM GEE: Garth Nix Edition
That sound you hear is me squealing with joy at this bit of news, from Publishers Weekly: Fantasy author Garth Nix has sold North American rights to three new YA books to Ruth Katcher at HarperCollins Children’s via agent Jill Grinberg, who made the seven-figure deal. The three books include a prequel and a sequel to Nix’s Abhorsen YA fantasy trilogy Continue reading
Heroes 2.1: “Four Months Later”
Realistically, I’m not sure why I was so damn excited for the return of Heroes, even though it was last year’s best new show despite having (apparently unknowingly) borrowed rather heavily from X-Men mythos. You’ve got your Rogue, your Wolverine, your Shadowcat — and, amusingly, all the genders are reversed! Continue reading
