Black Swan Cuticles
ONE SPOILER INSIDE, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK OR JUST SEE BLACK SWAN, YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN BLACK SWAN ALREADY, RIGHT?
There is one scene in Black Swan that made my heart barf.
Are you ready for me to talk about it?

One-Sentence Fake Book Reviews

The Smallest Heart had a typo on page fourteen that made me unable to enjoy the remaining three hundred pages, even when the characters endured fascinatingly bleak levels of despair.
Sebastian Oliver Wallaby was a rollicking ride, especially when Sebatian’s...
Dateline: The Perils of Parenting

I didn’t make any resolutions for 2011, but one thing I think I’m going to try to reign in is playing the imaginary conversation/interview game. I have been into this game for a while (she said casually, meaning her entire life).

Cassandra and Hector were stationed at the recently-renovated Four Seasons Hotel, the windows of which were luxuriously decorated with turquoise curtains of the finest silk organza, the white marble floors cool on their bare feet.

Depending on where you live, it’s my birthday right now or tomorrow. Put on something special, and a hat.
I’m a Capricorn. What this means is that I’m bossy and I don’t like to stop watching a movie halfway through. We are also supposed to be flippant and reliable. What this means is that the dad from Shit My Dad Says is probably also a Capricorn. If he’s not,...

— Denise, I have some bad news. Charlie passed away.
— Charlie! Oh, dear. That’s too bad. Would you like a sandwich? I’m having one.
— I can’t eat a a time like this. How can you eat at a time like this?
— Well, life goes on. Also, I made a pact with the devil: he could take Charlie in exchange for allowing me to live forever. Are you sure? I have...

“I’d like to get out of my lease,” she said over the phone. “I’m sorry. I spent a long time considering.”
“Oh?” said the landlord. “Why?”
“Well, the gunshots,” she said. “I hear gunshots from around three AM until five, and then they stop.”
“That’s Mister Wendwick,” responded the landlord....
