Alex Toda La Noche Enviame Un E-Mail (This one is different because it's about William and Maite as themselves) Amor Hostil El Vizconde Que Me Amo Calor En La Noche Jugando Al Amor All of these are related to Cuban telenovela superstar superhunk <<Guapisimo Mangote>> William Levy. If the heroine is Jacqueline Bracamontes who was his co-star in SORTILEGIO, then that's a "Levymontes" story. Geddit??? If the heroine is Maite Perroni who was his co-star in CUIDADO CON EL ANGEL, then it's a "Levyrroni" story. Personally, I prefer Bracamontes, whom I call "Placamontes" because she has a truly spectacular set of teeth. Even though her character in Sorti cried a lot and was a total doormat, I liked her character's development better. Perroni's character on CCEA was a petulant, stubborn, annoying, self-absorbed bitch. I could not stand the character, but there I was like an idiot every ...

Cabal -- The PMS Breed

22 days ago

PMS: P erpetually M ucking about in a S trop Cabal St. Laurents, Bengal breed, is, sadly, one of the most boring breeds. What? There's another? Yeah, okay. Del-Rey. But anyhoo, this is the story of Cabal in brief (no slouch there, btw.). pp. 4-5: snarling, murderous p.8: hissing p.16 irritated p.24 growling (and not in a good way) p.25 displeased p.42 snarling p.46 threatening p. 47 angry p. 55 wants to snarl p.64 fury p.67 angry and horny p. 70 frustrated, mad, horny p.92 conflicted p. 95 pissy, snapping at Jonas p. 100 possessive and growling p. 109 mocking p. 117 horny and not happy about it p. 122 suspicious, demanding At this point, I'm tired of this book; I'm tired of Cabal's shitty attitude. Not once has he been relaxed or happy or enjoying his mate. There hasn't been any ROMANCE at all. It's all been duress, duress, duress. GAH! p. 141 bossy, predatory, still ...

THE FIVER: Better than it sounds, smarter than it looks

27 days ago

guardian.co.uk's tea-time take on the world of football Just like Harold Bloom turns authors' names into adjectives, THE FIVER turns an alarming variety of bodily noises into verbs -- some I didn't even know were possible by humans. These snippets have been harvested from 2009 columns of THE FIVER. I think their humor writing is absolutely top writing! "[We] confirm they have made the offer to Manchester United for the acquisition of the rights of the player [Him]," ole-ole-ole-ed a piece of paper delivered from the Bernabéu by a winged fez-wearing monkey earlier today. "At [His] request - who has again expressed [His] desire to leave - and after discussion with [His] representatives, United have agreed to give [Them] permission to talk to [Him]," harrumphed a magnanimous Manchester United club statement this morning. "Consultations with Utrecht, the town and the club, have proved fruitless and I want no ...

MIDDLE GROUND: The Magazine of Middle Level Education (NMSA)

27 days ago

A publication of the National Middle School Association (www.mnsa.org) This journal is magazine-style. It’s well-designed and easy to read – but not without its inconveniences. The artwork is strategically placed for good effect and doesn’t overpower the text. Even the pages with full color are wisely designed so that the text stands out. Good examples of well-balanced page design are pages 20-21 in the August 2009 issue and pages 10-13 in the August 2008 issue. The covers feature a single child, usually in a classroom setting. I appreciate the nod to tolerance and equanimity wherein children on the cover represent various cultures. Articles have section headings, which I really like. I’m not a fan of using sans serif type for vast amounts of text, but the size of the text makes it fairly easy to read. Content is kept pretty tight. Not a wasted word nor a superfluous phrase. This leads me to why I enjoy reading this journal – the articles are informative, concise ...

But it's logical, don't you think? I've read them before and I thought it might seem a bit poncey to do an extra column BOOKS READ AND BLOGGED. Sounds a bit overkill-ish, if you ask me.
