Media Roll Call
May. 28th, 2012 11:17 amI need to start using this thing again for something other than tabulating my books. Hm, time to try and write again!
On an unbearably cute note, though, there is a mama robin who has made a nest on the wee metal ivy shelf that's on the back of one of my porch pillars. She's sitting there now. All tranquil and fluffy. I can't wait to see what happens.
Also - Nauticon. Lots of fun and I'm kinda in love with Provincetown now. Watching the sunrise over the private, white sandy-soft beach off our back deck was magical. So pink and technicolor! And the adorable shops and the friendliness of the people and the puppies. But 13 rum jiggers in an hour is a bit much even for me.
19) Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting by David Reed - Really quite charming and an easy read. For the most part, it sounded just like Bobby which is good because I love me some Bobby. I want an Uncle Bobby (and a Mama Chad Michaels and a Papa Latrice and isn't my fictional family fabulous?). There were some nice open-ended bits that hinted but didn't definitely come down on either side of things so that was fun and I love good monster research. The over-arching plot was a bit grandiose but what can you do? Also the Dean voice was not quite right but good enough and I got wibbly over the son/father relationshp.
20) How to Booze: Exquisite Cocktails and Unsound Advice, The Right Drink for Every Situation by Jordan Kaye and Marshall Altier - It started out as hilarious and got less so as things went on but it's a good resource for drink recipes and some interesting history facts. Also the index at the back is organized in a brilliant manner (first by drink, then subdivided by the level of completeness in your liquor cabinet). As one reviewer said on Amazon, it gets pretty "lad-mag" at certain points and I eye-rolled over some of the more forced "my balls are so big" moments of alleged humor. On the other hand... There's a chapter of drinks that is pretty much Shae's Life Diary which makes me snicker.
