If you haven’t seen this movie, watch it. It’s about a bunch of Aussies trying make sure everyone else in the world see Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Great stuff. Makes you wish we still had a read space program.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant)

by Stephen Donaldson

I first found these books in a thrift store and bought them because of the covers. Wonderful, dreadful, sad, verbose and the Best Books I have ever read. They make me feel, which is something a lot of books and most movies fail to do.

A question I have about "Cerulean Sins (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Book 11)"

Cerulean Sins (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Book 11)

by Laurell K. Hamilton

Since Anita is busy having sex with everything that moves, why isn’t she pregnant and when does she find the time to Execute anyone or raise any zombies?

The Time Traveler's Wife

by Audrey Niffenegger

Any book that has a character teaching his five year old self how to picks locks and steal what he needs can’t be all bad. Romance and violence and nudity and a twist on the time travel gimmick that has not been done to death. This is up there with Stranger in a Strange Land and The Left Hand of Darkness, destine to be a classic.

Why I gave up consuming "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I grew up watching all those old sci fi movies and I love the music. I can’t stand to watch the movie any more, but I will listen to the soundtrack forever.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Full Screen Edition)

by Doug Liman

Ok, it’s fun to watch Brad and Angelina run around in their underwear and shot at each other, hey wait, no it isn’t. A few good one liners. Watch Fight Club instead.

Liquorice Chocolate Bar

Venchi Chocolate with Absinth

The odd combo of black jelly beans and a Hersey bar with the bitter after taste of wormwood. The first bite is a shock as it is overpowering and eyepopping. But I liked it. The Wife found it at Central Market next to a Chili Pepper flavored candy bar. Oh those crazy Italians.

The gang's all here

To Sail beyond the Sunset

by Robert A. Heinlein

In his last book Heinlein was feeling kind of sorry for all the poor helpless characters had written about over his long career. So he had them hop into a time machine and he saved all thier lives. Well, most of them anyway. It was a rambling and pointless book, but I still liked it. Just as I kept reading Rice’s Vampire books long after it was clear that she had nothing new to say on the subject and was in fact repeating herself.
Heinlein’s last big fiction inventon was World-as-Myth, in which everything any writer cranks out is turned into reality on some alternate time/space/diminsonal lines. So he ends the book and his writing career the only self respecting way he could have—They All Lived Happily Ever After.

A story about "Pizza cooked on a Pizza Stone"

Pizza cooked on a Pizza Stone

You buy a frozen pizza and pop it in the oven and it comes out tasting, like a frozen pizza. But, put a pizza stone in the oven first and let it heat up to 450 degrees and put a little corn meal on top. Then slide that frozen circle on top and set the timer for 17 minutes or so. A thin crust will come out like a cracker, and the thicker ones will have more of a bready feel with a crisp bottom. Much more like a ‘real’ pizza. Great Stuff.

Who Let the Blogs Out?: A Hyperconnected Peek at the World of Weblogs

by Biz Stone

It’s a great little book that tells all the ins and outs of blogging, from how to write a good blog to how to make money once, if ever, you get a few hundred daily readers. Hey, best of all, it’s how I found All Consuming!
