Most days it's been hard to muster the energy to be pleasant at work, so I haven't written much at all. That's not a request for attention: I get these once or twice a year, and… Continue reading ADVENTURE is a Double-Edged Word

Errant Vegetables In The News

Jess3 Comments

I love Huffington Post. No, I didn't include a link. Yes, that's on purpose. Not because it's an example of fair journalism (they aren't), nor because of the quality writing (it often isn't), nor because the site is so full of integrity* (definitely not). *this is a site that doesn't pay any of the writers.… Continue reading Errant Vegetables In The News

Updated for Clarity: This post is rated R for graphic imagery.

JessLeave a comment

It has been brought to my attention that this post is an emotional response in itself. I disagree, and as such have added clarifying points at the bottom. I usually warn when it's not a funny post. This time, I'm warning for a different reason: I have an excellent imagination. Truly, this is not a post… Continue reading Updated for Clarity: This post is rated R for graphic imagery.

"Romance is beautiful, it's a gesture, it's a walk in a park with a pretty girl. Love is ugly sometimes. It's a crawl through a war zone to save a friend. Romance whispers sweet nothings. Love tells painful truths. Romance gives an engagement ring. Love takes a bullet." - The Queen, Tiffany ReiszTiffany Reisz doesn't… Continue reading Series Review: The Original Sinners (Tiffany Reisz)

Samhain is a night in which time pauses: a crossing point between what has been and what is to come. A time to remember and honor those who have passed before us, and a time to look forward to a new cycle of the year.Grandpa Ron, who left us suddenly and too soon but will… Continue reading Blessed Samhain

I Might Be A Jerkface

Jess1 Comment

This is a little ranty...I'm not sorry.I'm sort of inundated with books to review right now (two for a magazine, two for a website, and another one on the way, plus I still want to review Furiously Happy in a more meaningful way)...which is why I've been all incognito-like on my own blog. It's a… Continue reading I Might Be A Jerkface

Well all right then.I've been a miserable coughing shell of an actual human for the past three weeks or so, with a cold or allergies or a malicious and truly disgusting phlegm alien taking up unwelcome residence in my lungs.
