Mint means good.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in England. I mean, really live here, when you’re done eating crumpets and scones and marveling at the beautiful buildings and the kindest, most wonderful people (though I can only speak for the North). When you’re done with that and you almost become one of the English people then it just you riding the train. A lot. And you still get lost a lot. And the places you get lost are hillsides down to train tracks […]
How do you solve a mystery when you can’t remember the clues?

I had expected it to be bigger, and cleaner, and more colorful. But still, it is a jewel.
The trope of the opposite sex being alien is so old that’s it’s already so far gone that it’s on another planet all of its own. Nevertheless that’s the premise of this book.

His friend Vic drags him to a party with the advice “You just gotta talk to them.” It’s an old joke and it really is […]
No.
No. Just. No. You need more? Fine. Here’s more. I was reading the introduction to this because Margaret Atwood wrote the introduction and it was lovely. Here was this old lady who decided to write a comic book about a man who’s both bird and cat even though she’s so old that she no longer has a cat, because she is afraid she would trip over it. Then she starts talking about Catbird. She dives into the themes of a man being both a cat […]
Fave play is fave
“None but libertines delight in him.” Claudio and Hero love each other and want to get married. Beatrice and Benedick….well that’s what the play is about. Look this play makes no fucking sense what-so-ever. I mean, why is Hero wooed by someone else, in a mask? Why the fuck does Dogberry stumble around? And Claudio is dickweasel numero uno for believing Don John whatshisface…who meddles to actually give the play a plot. But then again, this is much ado about nothing so it does make […]
