Last night I watched the 200th episode of Smallville and while it wasn't the best one ever it certainly was one of the most touching....here's what one blogger has to say about it:

about.com's review of Smallville

One of the ongoing themes in the show (how one's past and guilt can pull darkness into his soul) was especially present in the 200th episode. The idea that worrying about the future to the point you can't function very well in the present was also explored.

There is an especially sweet closing scene with Lois and Clark that I just adored...it's nice sometimes to see tough characters like Lois become a little vulnerable and finally open up enough to to trust someone. If you're a Smallville fan and haven't seen it yet, you'll definitely want to catch up with this episode!:)

So excited to discover there's a sequel to my favorite book in the world ...Lonely Werewolf Girl. I bought the book last night at my local Barnes and Noble....

...sad to learn that Paste magazine has stopped its print publication...I loved that magazine! It always had great music, book and film reviews and lots of terrific insights into non-mainstream pop music....click here

....just read about The Mammoth Book of Zombie Apocalypse in Locus...due out on December 7th of this year...can't wait!:) I love the cover! (I also love Locus magazine...a wealth of info on sci fi, fantasy and horror reads!)

Of all of the Bowie albums I like, Black Tie White Noise is my absolute favorite. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's usually left out when lists are made of the best Bowie albums. And that's a shame...'cause there are some beautiful and hypnotic tracks to be found here. "The Wedding Song" is magical and haunting and very romantic. "Miracle Goodnight" and "Jump They Say" are oddly addictive and more upbeat (in rhythm rather than subject matter.)

"Pallas Athena," by far, is the most alluring and definitely weird in only the way Bowie can be weird!

I first bought this as a cassette in the early 90s and only recent bought it in MP3 format through Amazon's digital download store for a respectable $6.99...worth every penny!!:)
