Cynical Optimism: March 2014

http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2014_03_01_archive.html

I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can- Socrates. The Impossible: This is a couple years old, about a real-life family which survived the tsunami in Thailand. If it wasn't a true story i would have said it was too good to be true. Not a bad movie, some super scary parts involving the tsunami. a 5. Rush: Thor races cars! He's lovely and the car action was great. a 6. Machete Kills: ok, goofy, splattery action. worth watching. a 6. Quick note to let the world know I am still alive.

Cynical Optimism: April 2014

http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2014_04_01_archive.html

I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can- Socrates. Readathon wrap up post! I made it to 2:45 in the morning. I was super tired and that's when B got in from work so I told him goodnight and went to sleep. Even if I'd been able to drink caffeine I don't know that I would have stayed up any later. I also want to thank #teamwordsworth for cheering me on. Maybe next readathon I'll be a cheerleader for a bit. Books finished: Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin. Hopping o...

Cynical Optimism: May 2014

http://www.cynicaloptimism.net/2014_05_01_archive.html

I desire only to know the truth, and to live as well as I can- Socrates. American Hustle: very good and the ending was not what I was expecting. I am really glad i was only a very little child in the late 70's as those clothes would not have worked for me. a 6. In A World: Really funny movie about women in the film industry, specifically the voice-over market. See anything Lake Bell does, she's fabulous. a 7. I write up short reviews for the books I read during the Readathon! In this one, Timothy Wilde (...

A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara | Of Books and Bicycles

https://ofbooksandbikes.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/a-little-life-by-hanya-yanagihara

Of Books and Bicycles. The Fishermen, by Chigozie Obioma. A Spool of Blue Thread and The Moor’s Account →. Tuesday, August 11, 2015 · 3:34 pm. A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara. My second book for the (Wo)Man Booker Shadow Panel. Was Hanya Yanagihara’s. I don’t think I’d want to reread this book, though. It seems like the kind of novel that is something to experience — whether you like it or not! The Moor’s Account. As well as further listening to Anne Tyler’s. A Spool of Blue Thread. It makes sense tha...

Of Books and Bicycles. Newer posts →. Tuesday, September 27, 2016 · 7:45 pm. Reading Round-Up, 9/27/2016. I wrote last time about being in the middle of Chloe Caldwell’s. And Ruth Ozeki’s. The Face: A Time Code. Both, as turned out, were excellent. Tells the story of an intense relationship and a young woman’s exploration of her sexual identity in New York City. I suppose it’s a conventional story in a lot of ways — a love affair in New York City! Then I read Jerald Walker’s. Was announced last week, and...

Criticlasm: Tanaquil Leclerc

http://criticlasm.blogspot.com/2014/08/tanaquil-leclerc.html

A place to sound off about movies, books, and politics, and the culture at large, and let's face it, whatever I feel like. Saturday, August 09, 2014. I just finished watching the documentary "Afternoon of a Faun" about Tanaquil Leclerq from PBS American Masters. I loved watching that clip - I used to have a sort of obsession with ballet dancers, mainly the women, so this documentary looks interesting to me. Have you read the novel Astonish Me?

Criticlasm: January 2015

http://criticlasm.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

A place to sound off about movies, books, and politics, and the culture at large, and let's face it, whatever I feel like. Tuesday, January 06, 2015. I hate writing. I love having written - Dorothy Parker. I'm new to this writing thing, folks. Well, not new. Let's revise that. I'm new to really sticking to this writing thing and not just vomiting something out every few years when the pressure builds up, folks. That sounds too complicated. Like the post below about good/bad, I think rules are great, nece...

Ambivalence is my middle name | Loose Baggy Monster

https://loosebaggymonster.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/ambivalence-is-my-middle-name

8220;Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” –Groucho Marx. Laquo; In the works…. Things i’ve (re)learned today. Ambivalence is my middle name. Posted July 28, 2009 by Sarah in self-indulgent ruminations. Sorry for the month-long absence and the lack of responses to all of your comments! I have come to a decision of sorts in the meantime about this whole ph.d. thing. I’m staying…for now. 4) That said, I’m taking advantage of my fellowship and my spa...
