"[It] would have to be up there for sheer enthusiasm. I love it for a million reasons. It’s just such a celebration. But I think I also — god not to sound like too much of a shrink — I grew up in a family with lots of divorces and things. Growing up, the first couple I knew that were really, truly like Disney movie in love and devoted to each other was a gay couple. And then one of them died — of AIDS — and I remember I was so young; I was in junior high when it happened. It was still at a time when gay culture was so judged and so reviled in so many places. The movie was such a celebration of song and dance, but also of a gay lifestyle, and it was a beautiful thing to see at that point in my life. For there to be something out there in pop culture that was celebrating and not apologizing [for] all of that — I just thought it was brilliant."

A Crack In The Internet
For those of you that don't already know; back in December, Cracked fired almost all of it's writers. Therefore the Cracked podcast is no more. Nor is After Hours or OPCD, which were all shows that I loved. The Podcast was great back when Jack O'Brien used to host it before he left. Soren, Michael, Daniel and Sarge where my favourite guests and every week brought an interesting pop culture based topic to the table and we got to listen to it be expertly dissected by these awesome personalities. Really, really sad what happened to this podcast, but there is a fantastic backlog there for someone to discover.
  
A Star-Reckoner's Lot was unlike anything I have read before. This story was part historical fiction, part fantasy, and all adventure. I was not at all familiar with pre-Islamic Iranian culture and lore before reading this book. The author didn't waste words on excessive description, or spell everything out for the reader, but it was easy enough to figure out what was going on just by following Ashtadukht, Tirdadin, and Waray across the sands as they hunt for the mystical being that killed Ashtadukht's husband. Fantasy lovers, historical fiction fans, and anyone who likes a good story should really enjoy this book.
