In the first, they must deliver a story of tiny time wastes, where seconds or minutes were lost on futility of some sort. Here’s the premise: two comedians compete for the title of biggest timewaster over the course of three rounds slotted into a compact half hour or so. And somehow, surprising as it sounds, kind. The point is, whatever your own personal brand of timewasting, as long as you are human and therefore have at least a passing familiarity with the whole temps perdu concept, the brand new Dara Ó Briain’s Timewasters is 100 per cent relatable. Is it the minutes you spend picking Lego pieces up off the floor that will find their way back there as soon as your back is turned? Or perhaps it’s the weeks you spent organising your CD collection into those big black plastic-wallet thingamies with cumbersome zippers and flimsy sleeves that now collect dust in the garage? Or the months or even years you’ve spent searching high and low for your car keys because you wouldn’t just leave them in the bowl in the hallway like any functioning grown-up? Asking for a friend, obviously.

Oprah has reportedly denied any interest in the White House, but that hasn’t stopped people from wondering what an Oprah presidency could look like - and what scrutiny she’d face if she really harbors political ambitions. Even hard-nosed political observers, including Nate Cohn and Nate Silver, pointed out she would be a real contender. After Oprah delivered her epic Golden Globes speech on Sunday, #Oprah2020 was suddenly a thing.Įveryone from Ivanka Trump to Ron Howard praised her inspiring oratory, and celebrities like Lady Gaga said they’d vote for her if she were to run for president. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Milk blood heat reviewThe female protagonists at the center of Moniz’s stories are self-possessed and intelligent, but also flawed and searching for something from their partners, their mothers, their life choices, the world. Set in and around Jacksonville, Florida, the stories take place in the not-too-distant past when dial-up internet, caller ID, pay phones and phone books were still a thing. In each instance, there’s a sense that the outcome could go either way, and therein lies the tension that propels the reader through this collection of 11 tightly wound short stories. Moniz’s outstanding literary debut, “Milk Blood Heat,” are perched precariously on the razor thin edge of something big: adulthood, motherhood, infidelity, love, loss, death.

On Thursday evening I took the dog for her evening walk and, in a neighbouring street, met someone I know, a Canadian, putting in place the final stretches of Union Jack bunting that now crisscross the road, flapping loudly in the evening breeze like pigeon wings. Everyone from accounts to the canteen knows that he’s messed up in the past so is intrigued to see how he fares. Essentially the guy in your office who’s been desperate to be promoted to manager for years is finally having his wish granted. But a coronation’s meaning and emotional reverberations seem insignificant in comparison to that. Many people surprised even themselves with how moved they were by the pageantry and moments of reflection that surrounded the Queen’s funeral back in September. They are not serving up much in the way of insight. Depending on their political views, the newspapers are either offering predictable harrumphing or the chance to wallow in royal minutiae. And what does it all mean for modern Britain? Well, I am not sure anyone can quite tell you. The nation has an extra day of holiday on Monday to mark the coronation of King Charles III – well, that’s one reason to be grateful to the fella. 6/24/2023 0 Comments Jon bon jovi“We know it can have a wide range of impacts in the way it affects the respiratory system.

But now, from Mina’s own pen, we discover that the story is vastly different when told from the female point of view. This is the version of the story we’ve been told. To preserve her chastity, five male “defenders” rush in to rescue her from the vampire’s evil clutches. Mina Murray, the rosy-cheeked, quintessentially pure Victorian heroine, becomes Count Dracula’s object of desire. But be warned: in its realm, there are no rules, and there is certainly no neat formula to become-or to destroy-one who has risen above the human condition…The truth is, we must fear monsters less and be warier of our own kind.” “Reader, you are about to enter a world that exists simultaneous with your own. |
