Posted on May 13, 2013 by Ealasaid

Yes, I loved The Avengers. A lot. Even though Joss couldn’t bring himself NOT to kill off a beloved character. But oh look! He’s brought that character back to life in a new tv show! I was all excited until … Continue reading →

UNACCEPTABLE!

Posted on February 12, 2013 by Ealasaid

I’ve been working from home more and more, only partly in preparation for the move (after which I will be working from home full-time). Working from home has acclimated me to silence, and I’m finding it very difficult to focus … Continue reading →

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Ealasaid

So, I saw Steven Soderbergh’s “Side Effects” over the weekend to review it, and OH MY GOD. I have to rant somewhere, and I can’t exactly do it in my review. Loads of spoilers below, okay? Loads.
