In You Could Do Better by Stephanie Lehmann, Daphne, a curator at the NY Museum of Television, is worried that her reaction to her own wedding proposal -- she wants it delayed/over so she can watch a proposal taking place on her favorite night time drama (begging the question: has she never heard of TiVo?) -- is not the reaction of a woman in love.

Chick Lit (and More!)

June 27, 2006 by Michelle

On Beauty, by Zadie Smith I was really excited to read this – every review I read positively glowed and Ms. Smith is one of those authors that I've been meaning to read since her first novel White Teeth came out, but never got around to. And my god, such a disappointment. Perhaps, if I'd read Howard's End, the book's inspiration, I would feel differently, but taken on its own … [Read more...] about Chick Lit (and More!)

Summer Reading List

September 12, 2005 by Michelle

Books are not cheap these days, even with Amazon's discounts. And with all the crappy, how-the-hell-did-that-get-published books out there, it's easy to get burned and fear picking up the latest offering from an unfamiliar author. I've read a bunch of books that came out this year so far, and let my pain and glory help you decide which to take out from the library, which to … [Read more...] about Summer Reading List

PopGurls for Thought

I spent half an hour designing a gingerbread man at that party, speaking to no one. Just really getting into making a little yellow bikini on my gingerbread man, which then garnered everyone’s respect. But I wasn’t being a social person — I didn’t apologize for that, and everybody left me alone because they know that I’m weird like that. - Lennon Parham

The Random

The Big Love Scene at the Bar. Rod tells Kevin that he can empathize with what Kevin fells for Abbey: “You want something so bad it hurts. I just admire your passion, Kev.” Rod then pulls out a cassette tape and pushes it in front of Kevin. “You inspired me to write this. And, uh, I figured if you could put yourself on the line to find that girl, I could do the same.” The song “Falling” swells in the background. Rod touches Kevin on the shoulder and leaves, while Kevin looks lingeringly after him. U.S.: Yeah, okay. It’s all pretty much just text, there. Melynee, Amy
