Now, for something completely different. I’ve wanted to write something set in the “real world” with supernatural stuff for a while — I’ve written fantasy and a ton of hardboiled detective stories. I’ve also wanted to write something with a golden age of adventure feel to it — so this story represents the start of that. I’ve gotten a ridiculous… Read more »
Edited: I had a brain fart and wrote that the Rangers had home ice in round 2. I realized this after the fact. They do not. Ottawa does. Wow, round one had some surprises and a few series which were pretty great at busting brackets — mine included. Let me recap for those who aren’t paying attention, and also predict… Read more »
The national hockey league needs either better referees or a person on the outside of the ice able to review plays and take some of the control away from the blind zebras on the ice. The series so far for the Washington Capitals has been filled with: – Leafs players constantly stick-grabbing, like it’s a gay night club. (Especially Game… Read more »
This story is one I’m a bit conflicted on — I dislike Bill O’Reilly, and have for a long time. He’s always struck me as a blowhard, a self-important rambler, and somewhat of a dunce. Yeah, he’s been extremely successful but he always struck me as a slimy guy. That said, he’s no worse than the shrieking piglets screeing on… Read more »
I’m not sure how much of a post this will turn into but I do want to link to ESR discussing how the code is all that matters. This is in response to the (now regularly occurring) attempt to ostracize someone over something in their personal life or belief system. The gist, for those of you who don’t want to… Read more »
A Mid Summer Knight’s Dream… Fresh off last week’s review of Grave Peril, I’m going to review Summer Knight. This book is very much a building block for a lot of the faerie-type storylines in the future, and thus, a major cornerstone of the Dresden Files universe to date. The fae stuff builds slowly, over the course of this book,… Read more »
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Deputy Lisewski’s stopping wasn’t any better than his driving, and I had to put both hands on the back of the seat in front of me to keep from busting my face… Read more »
Update: It turns out the article is a hoax by a clever troll, which makes me feel a tad foolish. However, the fact HuffPo published this — thinking it was real — ought to show people where their values are. I’m not even going to pretend to be nice about this racist shrew. Some of the biggest blows to the… Read more »
Meant to post this yesterday but there’s always something in the way. Here we go: My full bracket is as follows: Round 1: Capitals over Leafs, Penguins over Blue Jackets, Habs over Rangers, Bruins over Senators, Blackhawks over Predators, Wild over Blues, Ducks over Flames, Oilers over Sharks. I don’t expect any sweeps in the first round; maybe the Caps… Read more »
Oh boy: I’m excited about writing this review. While I’m not sure I can say this is my favorite Dresden book, this is where the series really, truly starts to pick up: Grave Peril is where the over-arching story of the series so far starts, and it also introduces my absolute favorite character in the series: Michael Carpenter, Knight of… Read more »
