Review: HeartSick – Chelsea Cain
08.30.08 | Permalink | 8 CommentsHeartSick – Chelsea Cain
St. Martin’s Minotaur
Originally published September 4, 2007nice nice nice
HeartSick is the first book in a series written by local transplant author Chelsea Cain. Cain moved from the midwest to washington and currently lives down here in PDX with the rest of us crazies. reading books in cities you know is always enjoyable. reading books that give shout out to places, businesses, and other things you frequent is even better.
Original writing that is descriptive and tangible, this book is easy to get sucked into. It has a plot line that both Jennifer and I were able to pinpoint the bad guy during, but only a couple chapters before everything disentangles in the end. Kudos on that Chelsea. Even though we were able to deduce the culprit, the characters are so well written… Read the rest

Lion hunting Frogger

Susan, a co-worker of mine, took these photos outside the Kaiser Permanente building here on Multnomah St today. I merged them so i would not have to keep track of two images :)
Looks like someone decided that the fountain was the proper location for these two creatures to live out the remainder of their lvies.. the frogs life will be shorter as we can see that the lion is preparing to pounce

Severence Package / The Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in Heaven

Severance Package – Duane Swierczynski
The Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in Heaven – Sherman Alexie
Duane Swierczynski… people in the book world will remember him for books like “The Blond”. Comic book readers will remember him as the new force behind the Marvel series Cable and Iron fist.. he also has a couple one offs i have never heard of.
Severance Package was published last year. I had seen it on a number of bookstore shelves but never bothered to pick it up. It looked like manga and i just dont dig on the manga. US comics yes, Japanese comics, rarely. Yes, I remember. no judging of books based on how they look… bad jason BAAAD jason..
So I am at work one day and a friend of mine, Shannon, caught me downstairs and pressed its glorious rough paperyness into my hands. Its rough cut pages and… Read the rest

08.22.08 | Permalink | 4 Commentssome of you may have noticed the addition of advertising to the website. sorry bout that, i hate them too.. unfortunately, it is no longer a choice. i threow up a couple ads to help pay for it or no website for jason….
i am trying to keep them out of the way, but might have to be a little more robust. obviously, dont click on them unless you are interested in what they are selling.____________
i have finished a couple books that need reviews. other posts are mellowly waiting and waiting to be finished. damn you overtime.. damn you to hell…
in the mean time. here is some footage from a dog show i went to back in January.. people are so foolish.. dancing about on rubber matting pretending to take invisible dogs through obstacle courses. I hope some of them see this and realize how goofy… Read the rest

08.18.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsMan, I have been finding more and more stuff hiding out in random folders and backup cds. I meant to post these images back in December.
End of November, I was in Utah for some family stuff. Late one night, i was in the back yard of my Dad’s house and was pretty surprised when I saw a strange silhouette on his back door.
At first I thought “Hey you, you need to stop drinking tonight.” Waving my hand back and forth in the light, I found that the shadow changed with movement, but that the light source was always the same. Realizing that I had not been drinking, I stared at it and stared some more.
It looks somewhat like a person standing on a hill looking up toward a house.
Who would have thought a cool shadow like that could… Read the rest

Parasite Positive / Crooked Little Vein
08.17.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsParasite Positive by Scott Westerfeld
Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group (Import – June 30, 2007)
and
Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis
Publisher: William Morrow/HarperCollins (Hardback – July24, 2007)
~~
Enjoyed two books in the last couple days. one definitively more than the other.
I picked up a brand new discount bin copy of Scott Westerfeld’s Parasite Positive. It is an imported book. The US Title is Peeps. The name of the book from the UK is far better. Peeps is fine for slang but is a lame name for the book itself in my opinion. But that is a Strike against the publisher not the Westerfeld. The last thing i want to do when I pick up a book is look at the binding and wonder why there is not a yellow marshmallow Easter chick on it instead of humans
Peeps look like yellow fluffy sugar coated dog turds,… Read the rest
