Book Review: Blue Like Jazz

     I enjoyed reading Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz and posted a review at Kronicles of KD. In a backwards fashion, I watched the movie before I read the book. The book and movie were cathartic journeys through kaleidoscopic emotions and differed delivery of the source material. Take a moment to check out the review, leave a comment here or checkout the book on Amazon.

 Thanks Again~

 

 

Reading: Rediscovering a Past Time (Part 1)

     This week I read through some blogs by writers and rediscovered one of my favorite leisure time activities… Reading! I read articles about movies, articles about writing and some articles reviewing electronics. I really miss sitting down with a book or finding the spare time during the day to read a few blog/magazine/news articles. I commented on a few blogs, checked out some of their ads (that’s how they make a little money) and posted some information here.

40 Movies and a Little More Reading

From "Between Keyboard and Chair"

     It's been 78 days since the start of 2012 and thus far I have watched 40+ movies from several different genres.  That's about a movie every 0.512820513 or a movie every other day. I've spent more time watching movies than reading or even writing for this blog. I have a viable outlet for review writing at Kronicles of KD and posting my recommendations on my 2012: A Year in Review, yet I have not capitalized on those. I have also tried to boost readership and camaraderie with other writers through this blog, but I have failed to read the works of others.

Not Short, Just Otherwise Engaged



From "Christian's Bangin' Blog"

      This week's entry is going to be fairly concise as I will be focusing on other projects and commenting on other blogs (...maybe even promoting the "p1c3" idea!)  I STILL need to complete the next article for Doin' Sh*t With Pat and write the inaugural entry for the writing prompt at Monthly Writing Prompt.  I also have a half written companion for a movie review of "Midnight in Paris".

     Also... I went to a rock show last week that brought back several fond memories of concerts, late night hangouts and record stores (ah... record stores).  It was the first time I had a chance to see "The Darkness" in Portland, and they did NOT disappoint!

Less Talk, More Rock

From "All Good Songs" Blog

     I’m keeping up with the plans laid out in the last article, but the vibrancy was nowhere to be found this week.  It may be the sophomore slump or a post holiday lull, but it’s been difficult to refocus on writing.  As the blog title states and this entry proposes; I will be forcing myself to shut-up and write!
