Of Other Days

Meg — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 03:07:51 +0000

In the novel The Light Of Other Days, sci-fi great Arthur C. Clarke posits a future where a new technology means anyone can see what anyone else is doing. Any past antics are available for review by any future employers, future spouses, and, when a former kegstander or topless party girl achieves a respectable career, [...]

This Is Just How Caesar’s Legions Got Started

Meg — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:06:03 +0000

My morning before class started with sleeping through the alarm, and as always, rushing set off a series of other minor catastrophes. When I saw the No Left Turn – Train sign by Chapel Hill Road, I realized I’d have to teleport to make it on time, and my usual pre-class coffee was completely out of the [...]

Newark Airport Singalong

Meg — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:41:56 +0000

I’m kind of jealous that with all the time I’ve spent waiting at Newark Airport (For Christmas 2006, I flew in on AirIndia, Stick came in on British Airways and we both lost our luggage), I’ve never seen a singalong. From the blog Simpson's Paradox, please comment here:Newark Airport Singalong

Wisegal

Meg — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 13:54:43 +0000

Wisegal is actually the second time I’ve contributed to a Lifetime casual game. I also helped to test Lifetime / Large Animal Game’s Fashion Solitaire in 2008, although I didn’t make it into the credits. Maybe I shouldn’t make fun of Lifetime TV anymore… Maybe. This game also marks the second time Amanda d’Adesky and I [...]

Game Review: Funky Farm 2

Meg — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:51:52 +0000

I really like farm management games, which is odd since I can’t keep a real plant alive, but after playing Harvest Moon, FarmCraft, Farm Frenzy and so many others, I wasn’t sure there was any room left for new farming games. I didn’t know if Funky Farm 2 by SortaSoft could bring anything new that [...]

The Lovely Bones

Meg — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 15:20:01 +0000

The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, begins by introducing the protagonist, Susie Salmon (like the fish, she reminds us), who is dead, murdered by a neighbor who’s made smalltalk with her parents a few times. As her community searches for her killer, and finally come to terms with her death, Susie watches from [...]

Labyrinth (Muppets and David Bowie Not Included)

Meg — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 12:38:12 +0000

My childhood Christmases always involved playing Monopoly on the family room floor, and if that doesn’t sound enough like an idyllic Dylan Thomas evening (A Child’s Christmas in Wales, people, not “Rage, rage against the dying of the light”), I have no memories of ever squabbling with my cousins over who got to be the [...]

Waiting

Meg — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:15:39 +0000

Eight or nine years ago, I worked in a diner while on a, ahem, break from college. The Pioneer Valley is full of similar college-age breakers, finding themselves, forming bands, creating art, getting that awful first novel out of the way, or just drifting between minimum wage jobs amid an ever-younger college crowd. It was [...]
