So I finally cracked and watched the Season finale of Heroes. I skipped a couple of episodes (22 to 24, if I am not mistaken). I did feel confused once or twice, but thanks to the recap sequence and the slower pace of the show this season, it wasn’t that bad. This episode did, however,… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 25 – End of Volume 4

Fox has done it: I’m officially a Fringe fan.

So I’ve been thinking (a dangerous occupation when you’re walking across railroad tracks, but that’s another topic altogether). I was listening to an episode of a very interesting CBC podcast, DNTO (Definitely Not the Opera). This particular episode was about colours: how they affect us, why we like them, why we don’t like them, and… Read More Pretty in Pink – how to complicate what should have been a simple fashion choice
