Uncreated Conscience

Last night Bear and I went to his friends’ apartment for a potluck dinner and an evening of board games. After the standard games of Taboo, Apples to Apples, and Dirty Minds, we decided to try our hand at a weird game called Quelf, which is possibly a game one should play when one is SHITFACED DRUNK or tripping on acid. Or else the creators of the game were possibly on some hallucinogenic drugs. Highlights from this game includes Bear and I have to repeat everything we say twice for the entire fucking game, Chris and his fiancée playing the air piano every time someone rolled a one, and Bear’s roommate Oz performing a bellydance for everyone.

Because I didn’t get around to it on Friday, my promised thoughts on The Disreputable History.

(more…)

Not that I didn’t like What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Bludell but…

..holy hell did The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart blow my mind. In my opinion, this book is the more deserving of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. Not to belittle Ms. Blundell. Just…

Wow.

Will right more coherent thoughts on this book tomorrow.
