I watched the widespread publicity for this book with distant interest before it went on sale to the general public, but since I was so immersed in my books-about-books fetish and generally pay no attention to hype, I took no notice of The Thirteenth Tale until this past weekend. I saw the book at […]
Note: I’m reprinting this entry from September 14, 2006, which was originally published on another blog.
As memoirs go, you have to take in all the written details with a grain of salt. The perceptions of the author aren’t always shared by others who witnessed the same event or shared the same ordeal in the same […]
Learning to play an electric guitar is not exactly easy, especially when one has never played an electric guitar before. The difference is akin to driving a manual versus an automatic shifting vehicle. The principles of driving are still the same, only one is different that the other. Thankfully, ‘62 (the name […]
For those of you who don’t know, a friend of mine from College named my guitar the Blue Ox (I just call her Blue). I think he was trying to do a British accent and call it the Blue Ax, but butchered the accent and made it sound like Ox.

Things I liked:
1) There is plenty of action, and most of it isn’t corny. Well, there is plenty of action. ;)
2) Wolverine (I’m not ashamed to admit he’s my favorite character), doesn’t dissappoint with his reactions in the danger room. The bit where he gets thrown by Collossus is great.
