Book Favorite

"Bad Behavior is largely about sex, but it’s not cheesy or cheap. In this book of short stories, Gaitskill writes about women in the sex industry, people in power play relationships, S&M, and the general psychology of people who engage in so-called “bad behaviors” in a way that’s honest, sometimes brutal, and always beautiful. (For example, the darkly erotic film Secretary was adapted from a story in the book.) I first read this book around the time that I started Slutever, my blog about sexuality that still exists today, and it gave me confidence that writing about sex was a legitimate pursuit, and could be seen as intelligent, meaningful, and maybe even poetic."

2018 | Horror
For me, this was a film that could have been great. I remember hearing stories of the slender man when I was a kid and being truly scared so I was eagerly anticipating this release.
Sadly after watching it however, I can say that it failed at every turn. Although the actors were good, the general plot and production lacked. The story slowed in the middle and I found myself dwindling in interest and concentration. Predictable jump scares along with scenes that I believe we're supposed to be scary but just ended up messed up and mildly disturbing.
Overall a watchable film but I feel this would be more suited to a wider audience than avid horror fans.
  
True Blood  - Season 2
True Blood - Season 2
2009 | Sci-Fi
Season Two of True Blood is probably one of my favorite seasons. I feel like the storytelling was complex and interesting enough to hold my attention better.
The best part of this season was learning more about Eric, and his relationship with Godric. The next best story line is Jason's, with him joining the crazy, fundamentalist church. It was hilarious because it was so true to life.
I'm not a huge fan of Tara or Arlene in general, so those were the sections of the eps that I found tedious.
Of course, this season ends with a huge and intriguing cliff-hanger, and you have to prepare to meet the newest supernatural species in the next season.

Rolling Stone's 478th greatest album of all time
A whole load of short country songs. Which generally all sound the same. After a few you can actually guess the bassline out loud and be confident of getting it right. Some amusing song titles which lead themselves to double entendres which kept me amused, but in general the songs were about her determination to hold on to her "mayannn" and that "mayannn" being a no-good, hard-drinking scumbag. I was very glad when this album finished, and disagree with Rolling Stone's including a greatest hits album in their top 500 list. And then came a 4-disc set of Merle Haggard country hits *exasperated emoji*
