Excited by the interesting looking movie trailer for Eat Pray Love I decided to first read the book, adhering to the old rule that the book tends to be better than the movie. Eat Pray Love:One Woman’s Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia is a true story that chronicles Gilbert’s recovery from a very nasty and drawn out divorce. One night, while she’s [...]
On August 18, 2010 Vampires Suck, a movie inspired by the hit Twilight series is released in theaters. Check out our sister site Daemons Movies to learn more. I feel like Hollywood thinks every popular movie warrants a spoof (Harry Potter, 300, Scream, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc, etc). People will definitely watch it based purely on the rule that if you get enough people [...]
In the book Eat, Pray, Love (as soon to be movie staring Julia Roberts) the author Elizabeth Gilbert reinvents herself after a nasty divorce by spending a year traveling to Italy, India, and Indonesia. In the book, Gilbert finds inner peace by spending time in an Ashram in India meditating, working, and doing yoga. Inspired by her success, fans of Eat, Pray, Love have started [...]
People magazine has released the cover of the upcoming Kardashian autobiography, Kardashian Konfidential, in stores November 23rd (just in time for me not to buy it for Christmas). What I am most impressed with is that the photographer managed to make Khloé look the same height as her sisters in the cover. I imagine the same technology that was used to make Elijah Wood appear [...]
Generally speaking, I’m not a huge fan of people dressing their kids up in cute little costumes and scenes to take a picture.

If you were to do this to one of your buddies after a night out, [...]

JONATHAN STRANGE & MR NORRELL is one of the most delightful books I’ve read all year and I’m hoping you’ll check it out if you haven’t already. The story takes place in 19th century England during a time when magic has been absent from the country for some centuries. Many men call themselves magicians, however, they only study it, not practice. One such group of [...]
Any organization that devotes it’s time to helping our youth read and write is okay by me. I recently got interested in a Los Angeles based group called ‘WriteGirl’ and thought I’d share this awesome nonprofit organization with all of you! About Write Girl: Founded in Los Angeles in 2001, WriteGirl is a nonprofit creative writing organization that pairs professional women writers with teen girls [...]
So recently Kristen shared some hilarious posts involving the hunky Old Spice guy and librarians. She hinted that perhaps librarians have gotten smarter at promoting their libraries with these viral videos. After visiting this article on Huffington Post, I’m convinced that she’s right. The article contains 10 different videos created and performed by real librarians. Just when I thought there wasn’t enough room on YouTube [...]

His master asks Tom to write down his life story in order to learn more about Elephants and thus begins The Elephant Keeper.
