movie review: The Mummy
I was half watching this movie and half posting and talking to people while it was playing. Leah brought it over as my cable is out of commission and will be it looks like until Friday when my SSI check comes. The plot of The Mummy is basically that a body guard falls in love with a Pharaoh's...

Movie Review: Reindeer Games
While I was watching Total Recall, a movie I’ve seen a lot since my cable went out, I watched the preview for Reindeer Games which I mistakenly thought was a star crossed romance about a kind hearted criminal and the sister of another criminal. I have never been more wrong. First off, the criminal...

Book review: Shelf Life
I don't usually gush about books written by some able-bodied person I don't know. Today, however, is the exception. Everyone who loves books should read Shelf Life by Suzanne Strempek Shea. The book came out a few years ago. I heard about it and thought that sounds like a nice read, but as is so...

Feature: Art Walk Easthampton
Author's Note: I wrote this for suite101.com, but they didn't like it because they said it non-descriptive and too short (the reason it was so short was I couldn't get around-duh!) I hope you do, however. Easthampton, MA is a typical New England town with its own unique charm. Tons of independent...

commentary; an open letter to Morgan Spurlock
Dear Morgan, I love your show 30 days, and I was really impressed by 30 days I'm in a Wheelcha ir. You couldn't have picked a better person to portray the shock and change of suddenly acquiring a disability than star athlete Ray Crockett. As a person who has lived her entire life in a wheelchair due...

Movie Review: Sex and the City
I finally did it. After making four separate plans, Leah and I went to see Sex and the City today at 11:30. It was the first show on a Sunday and there were only four people in the theater total. This made it easy as my bladder kept needing release in the middle of the movie. I would have been so...

Movie Review: V is for Vendetta
I finally saw V is for Vendetta tonight. I’m really getting use out of those channels I ordered last night. Go me, at least it’s not a wasted expense. V is a movie set in a horrifyingly totalitarian Britain after the United States has totally collapsed into anarchy. Everything is illegal there,...

Movie Review: Children of Men
I've wanted to watch this movie for forever. I was actually planning to go see it in the theater, but by the time I was no longer poor, it had left the theater. Last night I saw it, it was coming on Cinemax, and on a totally spur-of-the-moment thing, especially for someone who's about to be $600 in...

Commentary: We Need to Stop Mountain Top Removal in Appalachia
I was letting my assistant use my computer to view her homework assignment which was to watch these videos on mountain top removal. As I’m a bit of an environmentalist myself, I watched too. I was horrified to learn that mountain top removal actually meant mountain top removal. I didn’t know you...
