Evil People in Modernist Homes in Popular Films

This is really funny.  Written by Benjamin Critton, a Yale grad student in graphic design, it lists some of the greatest movie villiains who live in some of the greatest architectural masterpieces of our time.  From Rick Deckard's Frank Lloyd Wright to Jackie Treehorn's Lauter.  Read an interview with Critten in the humorless Dwell magazine here.

Did I mention that I grew up in a modernist home?  (A. Q. Jones)  Makes sense, doesn't it?  Everything is going according to plan...mwah mwah mwah....

Buffy vs. Edward

This is genius.  It makes me realize how bad Twilight is and how much I miss Buffy!

Book Review: Speak ( Laurie Halse Anderson)

Me:

The Dice Man

I was warned not to read this book... So of course I had to. First, standing at my husband's dresser, looking over my shoulder. Then, when I was sure he wasn't reading it, I moved it to my car. A page here and there at a stoplight, the gas station or pick up line. I was addicted.

I have a few books in my life that I read again and again, and a few of those books indicate that I'm having a total nervous breakdown. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Atlas Shrugged, the Talmud - if you see them on my night stand, run the other way. The Dice Man is surely going to join that prestigious club.

You should read it too. Just don't tell anybody.
