Elin Hilderbrand’s A Summer Affair, is supposed to be a beach read. You know this because there is an image of two cute pairs of feet kissing in the sand on the book’s cover.
The fact that this layered, well-structured and sometimes thoughtless novel is supposed to be a beach read indicates a complication not only [...]
Last night, I went to see A Catered Affair at the Thomas Kerr Theatre on Broadway. This was a fluke: one of the board members where I work called and said she had spare tickets for that evening, so I was off on the train to the city a few hours later.
Tom Wopat was a [...]
Interrupting my A.M. snoozing time/Morning Edition listening hour this morning was Kate Remington of WSHU’s classical music morning telling me that she’d gotten to work early this morning for “a very special fundraiser.”
Memorial Day weekend marked our one year anniversary back in the U.S., our return to National Public Radio. I love NPR. I fell [...]
I am happy to report that I received my copy of Sally Hinchcliffe’s Out of a Clear Sky in the post yesterday. It is currently out of stock on Amazon proper, but you can buy it in the U.S. through Amazon booksellers. It took about a week to arrive.
Sally’s bio in the book is typically [...]
I try not to love the internet as much as I do, but there are so many good reasons.
Here’s another good reason to check it out. Not only can you buy secondhand things on Craigslist, you can buy all sorts of things you never knew you might not be able to live without.
I was juicing an orange this morning when a memory blast of Galway hit me.
I didn’t juice any oranges, that I remember, in Galway, or any part of Ireland. I wonder what part of my brain shot me through with a violently lovely blip of those two days a year ago in Ireland.
We travelled by [...]
Best Way to Make Best Actress “Not There”
Every year the Academy changes up the Oscars to try and make better, faster, stronger. It’s the Six Million Dollar Man of television really.
Usually one of those tactics is to just drown out the nobodies when they are giving their speeches so that they are forced to stop [...]
My good friend Suzanne was kind enough to tell me about the March 2008 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. Besides featuring the talented Rihanna on the cover, it also titallates readers and lures them over to the magazine stand with its usual circus of SEX, SEX, and CHEATING.
But that wasn’t what caught my eye and really [...]
I met a photographer for the Hartford Courant, Michael Kodas, at Green Drinks the other night and it turns out he is also the author of this book. High Crimes.
I’ve always been skeptical about mountain climbers, especially those who climb places that are truly death-defying. I think this might have something to do with the [...]
Back in October I somehow found out about the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition. I don’t even remember how, or why I took the time to submit my novel. Part of me thinks it was because:
a) I never expected it to go anywhere and
b) It was easy: just upload and forget about it.
Well, apparently my submission [...]
The Oscar nominations were announced today and as I scrolled through the list I have to admit this:
it took a LONG time before I got to one I’d seen.
Fortunately, I made it to “Achievement in sound editing” category, where I spotted the resounding critical success, Transformers listed. Phew. This was starting to get embarrassing.
Seems like [...]
At the Quick Center in Fairfield yesterday (where I was invited generously by my new buddy Carol), a simple author event became a righteous example of what happens when you are a man-professor of a certain ilk, with certain ideas about the world, and you set your puffed-rice expectations against a heady, hidden genius.
I am [...]
Time holds only the shape you give it.
This week, it was pressed thin, squashed against the wall, hot and heavy. It was pressing, but lovely all the same.
I am not sure, exactly what I am supposed to do with the time I am given. I only know what when I am busy, the time feels [...]
All my friends at The Warrington in England who didn’t know what or where Iowa is (”sounds familiar though”) are getting their quat-annual reminder today as my fair home state makes front page news internationally, including three front pages in the Guardian, The Independent and below the fold featuring McCain in the Tory Times.
As my [...]
