Since the very first images of Walt Disney's Disneyland television series flickered across monochrome screens in 1954, the Sleeping Beauty Castle has stood as the icon not only of the series and the park for which it was named, but of all things Disney. In the process, it has likely become one of the most photographed buildings in the world.

Nintendo parece totalmente dispuesta a que nos culturicemos un poco gracias a su ‘100 Classic Book Collection’, un cartucho que nos traerá, como su propio nombre indica, 100 clásicos de la literatura en sus versiones originales. La propuesta me parece buena y mala a partes iguales. Es decir, dejando a un lado que los libros son en inglés, con lo que quien no domine mínimamente el idioma lo lleva claro, se me antoja una buena idea llevada a cabo en una plataforma equivocada.

I’m not going to ruin the scene for you, but do you remember the bit in the Season 5 trailer where Aaron is asking, “Where are we going, Mommy?” And Kate replies, “We’re going on vacation, baby.” It’s that scene, in full, and it reveals the reason why Kate is in such a hurry to get out of dodge. And let’s just say it’s a really good reason. (END SPOIReview: Flirting With Forty by Jane Porter

It’s not often that the UK gets a game we don’t see Stateside, but when they do it’s usually something I’d kill to own. That holds true for the latest UK exclusive, 100 Classic Books on the Nintendo DS. The game is exactly what it sounds like: a compilation of 100 classic works of English literature in DS cart form.

Today is the 173rd birthday of America's greatest writer (or at least arguably), Samuel Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain. Twain lived so many places and wrote books of appeal to so many people that nearly everyone growing up in America identifies with him at some level. My own life has always seemed deeply intertwined with that of Twain: growing up in Windsor, CT, and only a few miles from Hartford, from a young age it was an annual rite of passage to attend a school trip to his magnificent house i |
