Goddess (1934)
This silent film, Goddess, in terms of premise and emotional pitch reminds me of the short stories of Lu Xun as an effort to raise consciousness toward the most downtrodden and helpless in society, usually single women. In this film, the woman works as a prostitute to support her son, a toddler at the start… Continue reading

Lee Welch’s Mr. Collins in Love
I am about halfway through the novel and love it. I was not expecting to read a Pride and Prejudice-inspired m/m romance soon or maybe ever, but the sample drew me in, and I have been immersed. It’s a breath of fresh air, just how relatable Mr. Collins’ struggles are, as well as how relatable… Continue reading

Deep in my cup
Deep in my cup, I have those enlightened thoughts that philosophers in Chinese dramas have when they are drunk, but my drug of choice is caffeine, which I have learned in recent years is dangerous to me at the levels I would care to have it at.

Over my vacation last week, I wanted to find out the origins of the tales anthologized in my Barnes and Noble 2016 edition of Beauty and the Beast and Other Fairy Tales. This and my B&N 2015 edition of The Snow Queen and Other Winter Tales are close to my heart, as Snow Queen was… Continue reading

The purpose of this trip was a Christian music festival in Beardstown, IL, where my husband was performing with a band of which he was part at that time. Seeing and photographing… Continue reading

Girl Games for the Gameboy Advance SP
I bought a Gameboy Advance SP in Pearl Blue a few weeks ago, and it has just shipped from Japan, so I should get it in another week or two. I’ve been waiting for it impatiently, but the extra waiting time has given me more time to research and purchase games. I currently have three… Continue reading

Writing and reading on my Palm Centro
Today I booted up my Sony Vaio for the first time in a little while to hotsync my Palm Centro, and now I’m installing some updates on it. It’s running better than I thought it would. If I don’t open a browser, it functions quite normally, so to circumvent that need, I’ve been downloading software… Continue reading

Twenty Books Every Woman Should Read
Advertisement from Street & Smith [text]. In edition of In Love’s Hands, by Bertha M. Clay, c. 1914. I was intrigued by this list of “twenty books every woman should read” in a text I read recently retrieved from Project Gutenberg. I wondered what kind of books were the standard for what “every woman” should… Continue reading
