Horror October Discussion: Horror in Film

Horror October Discussion: Horror in Film
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 12, 2013 | 19 Comments

Todays topic: The horror genre in film! I loooove horror. I love creepy, dark stories. BUT…I am very picky. I do not scare easily at all, and I find 95% of the horror out there comedic rather than scary. I also don’t have a weak stomach. The gorier, the better!  [edit: I also don’t get nightmares. Ever. The only movie that ever gave me a (kind of) nightmare is The Notebook, because it reminded me of my past and I dreamt […]

I Think I Have a Serious, Er…Series Problem

I Think I Have a Serious, Er…Series Problem
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 7, 2013 | 23 Comments

Once again I don’t have a Monday review (damn PTBD), so today I’m going to talk about series. I am afraid of series. Why? I’m not particularly sure. With really good books, perhaps I’m afraid that the second book won’t compare to the first. With last books, perhaps I’m afraid to end the series. But I’m pretty sure it’s a commitment issue for me. I tend to read the first book and never continue! It’s not necessarily that I don’t want to read […]

Undersea Spoils (36): Library Sale + Brandon Sanderson Signing

Undersea Spoils (36): Library Sale + Brandon Sanderson Signing
Posted by Jessi (Geo) on October 6, 2013 | 24 Comments

This is my replacement for IMM.  Nothing exciting to report about the Brandon Sanderson signing – I went after work so I missed the whole panel. Just went to get a couple books signed, and the line was HUGE! We had to get number tickets and I was #56 in line. We were there for an hour and a half just waiting to get books signed, it was ridiculous! I haven’t even read anything of his, that’s the sad part. […]
