This books is an excellent resource for Vampire: The Masquerade players. It’s a grouping of short stories that illustrate different clans, cities, kindred and general night-to-night activites in the World of Darkness. It also has methods of making things like boons and politics work. I have this on the recommended reading list for my Vampire game.

Unlike most of the world, I rate movies on context, appropriateness and what they deliver. This movie was good because it promised to be a wildly zombie weirdfest and it was. It was done right for what it was, and didn’t try to pretend otherwise (as opposed to most Hollywood movies which try to make themselves into something they aren’t.)

This movie gets happily filed under the category of “Does What It Says: Enjoyable”.

This is supposed to be a comedy, and it is, but if you’ve ever had a genuine problem with depression, this WILL NOT make you happy to watch. In fact, it might not make you happy to watch either way. Having been afraid to leave my house and having spent about 2 years not really going out or working, this just made me feel vastly desolate. I would not recommend it.

Don’t get me wrong; this book was useful. But it was more interesting than useful. Also, I’ve spent the last while learning how to change my life, so the information wasn’t too too helpful. It seems to me the career changes in this are painful and not always too successful, and were picked more for thier bizarreness rating than realism or example of good career changes. I think this author has a lot to learn about successful transitions and the reasons and methods you use to do them.

You really need to use a lot more milk than butter on this one. I use soy milk, and I think it makes it sweeter! This is the only type of KD I can eat anymore.

I thought this was going to be dry, but the author wove in the stories of the people who searched for and climbed these trees, making them interesting and live. The descriptions were succinct, and, except for a small part or two that gets technical, everything is described in understandable terms. I took time to think about what I had read, and connect the information in my mind to other relevant things. It is very obvious these people love and know the trees, their environs and their place in history. It makes me wonder to know some of those giants have been here since the Parthenon was built. It humbles me that there is something that is resilient even to the deathly touch of humanity.

I hope I will remember what I’ve learned and the feeling I have about it, and connect this knowledge together with other, pertinent knowledge later on, adding to and connecting to my wider understanding of the importance of things in the world.

A good regular book with succinct stories of pertinent facts and appropriate pictures. I loved seeing what Hamilton looked like as it grew, and I never realized it was such an interesting place in time! I really appreciate this book and don’t regret buying it!

They have a decent, non-offensive collection, but since it’s from Disney I worry that they put something in the music. I wish I was kidding…

A grown-up level comedy that still has the prerequisite lessons about friends and fate. Ridiculous comedy is embellished by shocking gags. Not for kids, this anime is great for a laugh.

I know this movie may be shuffled into a bin marked, “Martrix rip-offs”, but that’s frankly just not true. Whatever moron put that movie review onto the cover art does it a hideous disservice. This is not the Matrix. The Matrix is about mathematics reality conceptions – this movie is about beauty and the human soul. This movie did not shake my perceptions to the core of my being. What it did was re-awaken something small but important inside my mind. This movie is a well-acted reminder that the best reasons for living and caring about living are all the same. Life is beauty, and aside from Gothamesque settings and 1984-inspired civil servants, this movie made a simple, almost whispered statement that human spirit alone isn’t enough to live on; you need reason to do so.

And the martial scenes are great, too!
