A "so far..." review of "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories"

*WARNING - HERE BE SOME SPOILERS*

Best of 2009: Album Edition

Well, it's getting closer to the end, folks. The end of this series and most importantly... the end of the year. Only four days away until we go into a new decade of this new century, and a new year.

Before that comes our way, let's conclude this with the final entry: the albums of 2009!

Best of 2009: Song Edition

Returning from a relaxing Christmas and a surprisingly-painless day at work/afternoon at home, I feel that I can complete the last two lists. Let's kick it off again with the best songs!

Best books released in 2009:

Best of 2009: Movie Edition

I'm not much of a movie connoisseur these days (I blame general stupidity in Hollywood for this one), but I still do watch films. I mostly use Netflix and Blockbuster, so there you go.

Alright, let's get to the good stuff. The best of 2009!

Yea, a book review!

Yet another book review...

By Zora Neale Hurston
Amazon link

One thing that I want to get out of the way is that the descriptions (especially later in Chapter 18) are some of the most beautiful and image-provoking I'd ever read in recent years. Hurston's words are earthy, with no trace of pretentiousness. Why can't all literature be like that? Why do some people feel the need to get all superfluous? Hurston proved that a writer can do it without putting down the reader with esoteric references that only Super Snobby English Majors would get (yes, I'm looking at you, Ms. Pessl...).
