  1. Guilty Reading Pleasures

    Ever since I had that class in Child Lit which I had posted about a few times both in my blog and upon the forum during the time I was taking it I had developed something of a guilty pleasure for reading YA books.

    This had started to come about because for one thing I did genuinely enjoy the books we had read for the class, and I particularly loved the work Feed by M.T. Anderson which was a dystopia and done quite well with an interesting narrative technique, and I found out from

  2. I miss my serial killer

    by , 11-01-2009 at 02:18 PM (day in a life)

Even Scorsese had to learn and develop his merits. His film Chop Shop has got to be one of the best films of the decade, and Goodbye Solo, I am willing to say, is probably one of the best ...
