Don't forget my other blog!

My blog at wineandcheesesticks.wordpress.com is sad. No visitors in a few days.
My latest post is a review of a restaurant in Seekonk, MA, in case you're ever passing through.

I'm trying to brush up on my writing skills on my wordpress blog and this blog is more for fluffy stuff and random creepy stuff that I don't bother to proofread as much. Just to keep you guys entertained. Aren't I awesome? :P

I think next I'm going to do a review of Heart-Shaped Box even though I'm not done with it yet. I want to make note of a couple things before I forget.

Writer's Block: Too mainstream

[Error: unknown template qotd]
No, I'm actually delighted when the bands I like get recognition.  It's not often that I'm into bands before they're well known, though.  I like pretty mainstream stuff.  One artist I saw before she made it big was Colbie Caillat.  She opened for the Goo Goo Dolls a few summers ago.  I was there because my husband won free tickets, but we couldn't find a sitter so he stayed home with our son and I went.  I wasn't a huge fan of the GGD but they were okay.  Colbie opened and I remember thinking she was nothing special.  Not long after that, she made it big and I still wasn't impressed.

An artist I wish had made it was Rachael Yamagata.  I loved her first record to death.  I heard a couple of her songs on indie radio, commercials, in movie previews...but that was it.

Heart-Shaped Box--a couple questions (SPOILERS BEHIND THE CUT)

I'm using this as an excuse to try putting in a cut, so bear with me. Keep in mind I haven't finished the book...but I need to get some of my confusion out of my system. DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS IF YOU DON'T SEE A CUT. I'm still working on it.
