Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part II)

February 16, 2009

Who would have thought a show about demons, vampires and the such would give me so much insomnia unrelated to nightmares? And it’s a good thing these things don’t give me nightmares, because then I’d become a real zombie! I have successfully prevented my brain from imploding by stopping the first part of this post… Read More Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part II)

From BWNS: Rainn Wilson talks about Hollywood, his family and the Baha’i Faith

February 12, 2009

If last week-end’s episode of The Office, which followed the Superbowl, didn’t convince you that Rainn Wilson can act, then I don’t know what can. How he managed to keep a straight face during that opening scene is beyond me. There might be many interviews and articles out there about Rainn Wilson, but I highly… Read More From BWNS: Rainn Wilson talks about Hollywood, his family and the Baha’i Faith

Books, books and more books: Good-Bye, Winter Blues

February 11, 2009

As winter drags on (dratted groundhog, why did you have to see your shadow?) I can’t help but turn towards my favorite source of comfort: books. Of course, in this weather, the accompanying hot drink of the moment helps, too. Since I have long finished my pile of fiction books (the non-fiction pile is a… Read More Books, books and more books: Good-Bye, Winter Blues

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 2

February 11, 2009

Rumours have it that Heroes is going back to its roots, trying to overcome it’s fall in ratings by returning somewhat to some of its original concepts. As I sat down to watch the new episode, I couldn’t help but hope that this episode would be somewhat of a return to Season 1-style Heroes, back… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a.

Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 13: Kissed Off

February 10, 2009

I would like to start this review by sharing my secret hope that the “Hot Cocoa Fix” street vendor really does exist. If so, I’m so moving to New York, preferably in a little apartment right across the street from that street vendor. Or, if I can’t move to New York, I’ll buy that cart… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 13: Kissed Off

Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)

February 9, 2009

I have to admit that although I love the show, Supernatural’s depiction of angels is very disturbing. I like the fact it has made me so uncomfortable; it’s making me rethink a lot of things, giving me much food for thought and blog posts. Yay for Supernatural! So for those of you who don’t watch… Read More Angels & Demons: Not quite what I was expecting, a.k.a. Supernaturally confusing (Part I)

Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 12: Sisters on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

February 8, 2009

You would think, from my complaining during the last two months about the hiatuses on the many shows I watch, that the exact dates of their return would be imprinted on my very soul. You would be wrong (and not because I don’t have a soul). I missed the return of Heroes by five days.… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 12: Sisters on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
