A story about "Flavors Of Entanglement Deluxe Edition 2 CD Set" — 4 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

This is great !

I had read a couple not so great reviews about this new album and now I have to wonder what those people were thinking… Sure, it’s different, but since when is different the same as bad ?

I’m really really liking it. Several songs give off this high energy feeling that sweeps you away – breathtaking.

A story about "Petit Brebirousse d'Argental" — 6 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

From time to time I look for new cheeses, but seldom am I happy with them. Often they either are too stinky or taste like nothing.

Well, today I got lucky, this “Petit Brebirousse d’Argental” was very very nice and went wonderfully with some baguette.

A story about "Battlestar Galactica (2003 Miniseries)" — 10 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I had so far resisted watching this new incarnation of
Battlestar Galactica, since I just couldn’t warm up to the thought of a rehashed story.

But being at a sci-fi con this past weekend, with some of the actors being there, I got very intrigued, what I heard sounded very interesting.

So I went out today and got a copy of this initial mini series.

It’s good. It’s actually very very good. I’m impressed.

Now if the actual series can keep that up, I wonder, but I’ll get the first season at least to see.

But even if not, this mini series is really worth watching !

A story about "Death Note, Volume 10" — 18 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Wow…

I picked up this manga, because I had read a review, where that person had said, that once he had read the first volume, he had to go out and buy all the other ones.

Well, once I had read the first volume, I had to go out and buy all the other ones…

This is a very unusual, fascinating and suspenseful story.

I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where I was rooting for the mass murderer to win over the others… It must have been hard to write such an intelligent character.

And beyond the book, this really got me thinking a lot about the morals involved. What would I do with such an opportunity ? How long could I resist the temptation ? The answer leaves me uncomfortable…

A story about "The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials III) Tenth Anniversary 1995-2005" — 24 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

So, I’ve just finished #3 in the trilogy. I had wanted to write some words after finishing #1 and #2, but then, as now, I find them very hard to describe. They’re just beautiful and a joy to read.

.#3 I thought was a bit less strong, mostly due to the fact that it moved away from the main characters for long stretches, losing its strength at those points. Still, it was a good read and tied up the story well.

A story about "The Best Damn Thing (CD/DVD Deluxe Limited Edition)" — 38 weeks ago

Well… I did have high hopes for this after the excellent second album. But unfortunately I only like a couple of songs on here and none are really in “wow”-category.

A story about "Apparently Live 2007 Tour" — 39 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

I’m just coming back from this concert. This artist was introduced to me just a couple of months ago and while I instantly loved the first song I heard, the album had to click with me. But when it did, it did so in a big way.

So… the concert was great. Lots of high energy, an amazing voice and apparently fun was had by everyone :)

A story about "Yotsuba&! Volume 4 (Yotsuba&)" — 40 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

And also on #4 of this book, I have the same thought reading this: This is such a feel-good series. I am constantly amazed at how the author manages to evoke this feeling of warm/fuzzy/funny/silly in me. Love it :)

A story about "Dried Cranberries" — 41 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

These have been recommended to me and since Cranberries are not something easily gotten over here, I didn’t really know what to expect. Well, they’ve been an instant hit with me and I’ll probably try to have them much more often now !

A story about "The Children of Hurin" — 44 weeks ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

It’s always a treat to experience the world Tolkien has so carefully woven. So while I knew the story from the the Silmarillion, I found this presentation as a continuous narrative without gaps a very engaging read. And looking beyond the story, Tolkien’s mastery of choosing words and language structure are just a joy to me.

I hope we’ll get more of his stories in such a more complete way in the future !
