I just finished Dark Harvest by Lynda Hilburn and it’s taken me a little longer to go through than normal because I read it as an e-book. After reading this novel, I’ve come to a conclusion…I’m not a fan of e-books. Kind of off topic I know, but it took me longer to read it and I didn’t get as much enjoyment out of reading on my laptop as I usually do with a paper book. There’s definitely a difference in mood when reading on an electronic device compared to turning the pages of a book. For now,Marni @ Toronto: Pt 3

With Macross Frontier drawing to a close by the end of the month I figured that now is a good time to revisit one of my earliest fansubbed experiences in the form of Macross Zero.

PINEAPPLE Express is gleefully described by its creators as the first stoner action comedy but while definitely amusing in places, it falls some way short of being a completely blissful experience. Rather, it’s a somewhat bloated combination of action flicks such as The Last Boy Scout and True Romance with the doped-up comedy of stoner heroes such as Cheech and Chong. Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) is a good-hearted process server who has an over-fondness for weed. When he witnesses a brutal murderThe Windflower World Tour!
Current location: Cambridge, UK The Windflower and King's College The Windflower is one of those mythical romance novels that many speak of, that more often than not appears in top 100 listings and it has been granted DIK (Desert Island Keeper) status by a lot of people.

Rare is the band hard to pin down in the 21st century, but The Dears is that rarity. Openly romantic and symphonic yet destabilizing and hypnotic, the Montreal-based brainchild of spouses Murray Lightbird and Natalia Yanchak has another baby on the way. By baby, I mean a sweet new release. Missiles is equal parts swirling electricity and angelic chorus. Its songs start out as familiarities, but end as head trips.
