The Chef and I did not need more dishes of any kind, but I couldn’t resist these small beauties. Not only are they stunning… they belonged to the late, legendary entertainer Rose Marie.
Dishes
I plan on using them as often as I can.

It’s only rock and roll
A local used bookstore recently closed after 25 years. They had a fantastic going-out-of-business sale. While part of me feels “guilty” for taking advantage of their sad circumstances, the rest (and logical) part of me knows that they needed to sell as many books as possible. Through these books, a bit of their entrepreneurial and intellectual spirit will live on. With that idea in mind, I’m doing a limited-run series where I’ll spotlight each of the volumes I “adopted” from this sweet little shop. Shine on, you bookish gems!
Today’s selection? The British Cinema Book.
The British Cinema Book
DETAILS:
WHY I BOUGHT IT:
This one is pretty straightforward–I collect film books, and this is, obviously, a film book. It also partially fills a glaring hole in said collection: aside from volumes about/by individual performers and filmmakers, my section on British cinema is sorely lacking. So, you could almost call this a necessity.
Thanks for reading! I hope you like the new series. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
“New” books for my entertainment collection
A quick update on what is happening with Epic of World Saga:
The script for Episode 3 is being finalized. Stay tuned for big things, as it is our first 2-parter. Can you say cliffhanger?
EoWS is also on Twitter and Facebook. The relevant links are on the website. Which brings me to…
Our first real blog post.
Welcome to our universe. Please wipe your feet.
Thanks for reading!

Hi all! Here’s the second episode of EoWS. It’s our first full-length offering. As such, it properly sets up the concept for what the series will offer going forward.
We’re not marketing the series until we have a few more episodes under our belts, so you’re in on the ground floor! Hopefully, that’s a good thing.
Please enjoy!
