Unfortunately, I find myself inundated with papers and the necessity to study for looming midterms–no substantive book review or commentary this time, folks. After spring break, I’ll weave wondrous literary posts, I assure you. Until then, study hard. Maybe see a bad movie. Can I recommend The Room?

Liars Go to H-E-Double-Hockey Stick
For those of you who follow my bloggings religiously (hi, Mom), this subject matter may bring to mind something I’ve complained about in posts past. And true, I have talked about the self-destructive nature of game-playing and how anyone past the age of 14 should know better than to puff up and put on a […]
The Big Ten of 2010
Mighty big, this. 2010 glimmers with all the potential a new year can bring, but for a reason that extends well beyond the gratification of New Year resolutions: video games. I like them. You might like them too. Which works really pretty well, as we’ll both share good humor over the next ten months as […]
Big Sigh.
So. I’m still sick. Now mind you, I’m not sick enough to condone skipping another week of blogging…I’m currently sitting up at work wearing clothes other than pajamas, and that means my responsibilities to Unwind must again be met. But I’ll warn you now, my brain is still not working on all 4 or 6 […]
All About the Benjamins
Gamers know that their particular hobby is always an expensive one. The agony we’ll be inflicting on our wallets throughout 2010, however, is of spectacular proportions – God of War 3? Final Fantasy XIII? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock 2? Big names require big budgets. And while I’ve already raved about the service cheapassgamer renders for […]
Beauty and Loss
In the past, I’ve written a bit about my love of all things Leonard Cohen. He’s one of those artists whose work is so profound and immense that it’s hard to even scratch the surface. Most know him as a musician and a poet, but few acknowledge the accomplishments of his prose, particularly his two […]
Sick.
I believe the title to be self-explanatory. And if you were curious, I find the fact that I can’t breathe or smell or sleep or eat a valid excuse for not blogging this week. Theretofore, I bid you good day. Until next week… Much love.
Semi-blog: Plants Vs. Zombies
Okay, okay – this is the last time I’ll mention it. Promise. My obsession with Popcap’s latest and greatest game is well–documented on Unwind, but this last bit of news warrants delivery, folks, so swallow that righteous disgust and buckle up for some math. 20 > 3. This is true. $20 < $3, however, when […]
Beauty and Decay
This week, instead of reviewing a book, I wanted to talk a little bit about one particular author: Cormac McCarthy. McCarthy has been one of my favorite novelists for a number of years and with his recent explosion of fame (thanks to his Pulitzer for The Road and the film adaptation of No Country for […]
Happy Fake, Construction Paper Heart Day
What? What about my title?? I’m sorry, I just don’t like Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because I never felt I got enough Valograms in high school, or maybe it’s because 99% of the Valentine’s Days I’ve experienced have been either A) depressingly lonely or B) depressingly awful. (I won’t go into the details, but I’ve […]
