New Moon, part of the Twilight franchise, increasingly seems to me perhaps to be author Stephanie Meyer's attempt at writing a nineteenth century novel for the Facebook generation. All the associated tropes are there; Edward Cullen the distant, pale aristocratic vampire with oodles of cash and good taste and his rival Jacob Black, the commoner with the heart of gold and little else to give

Just wrote a really nice sex scene. Many writers have trouble with sex scenes, but I seem to have a flair for them. Making love is like dancing. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they make love. This is also true for characters. My Leah isn't much of a drinker. She doesn't do drugs. She doesn't smoke. So, as Adam Ant song says, "don't drink don't smoke, what do you do?" She isn't...

When I was a youngster, I was a bit of a late bloomer. And by "bit" I certainly mean I was the last one in the door to puberty. In 7th grade, I finally became a woman, or in reality, an already hormonal girl suddenly with a reason to buy feminine products. My older brother had a friend that I had a mad mad crush on. I would always ask my brother about him. He was at our house a lot so I made...

This week, with the episode still two full hours with only four couples, each couple did three individual dances — something that's never happened in the show's history.

Because I know all you young ‘uns are going to be like “Who the fuck is Edward Woodward? What the hell is the Equalizer?” I found a little tribute clip that some genius on YouTube put together two years ago. The Equalizer was a fantastic, albeit short-lived show that ran in the ’80s. ”Got a [...]

Every Friday, we like to sum up what happened in the week in reality TV. Here's the best, worst and most shocking... Donny Osmond dressed for an 80s paso doble on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars." (Photo by ABC) "Dancing With the Stars" (ABC) Each couple was assigned a Latin dance from a particular decade, like a '70s samba or a '60s jive. Seventies (and eighties) heartthrob Donny...

With two weeks to go until the last dance (let's dance, the last dance!), the remaining five couples pulled out all the stops last night--at least in terms of costuming. Donny Osmond performs an 80s-inspired paso doble on Monday's "Dancing With the Stars." (Photo by ABC) Just take a gander at Donny Osmond as Little Richard/Adam Ant/Michael Jackson. Good luck trying to sleep tonight. Each...

Last night I went to see drummygirl and the New Royal Family play at the Adam and the Ants convention. (Best overheard: "One year, there was face painting!") I met a man who was wearing a chainmail vest. It weighed 15 kilos and would protect against slashing but not stabbing. I wonder if Smash Hits ever asked Adam Ant how many hit points he had? I also wondered if Adam Ant has ever appeared...

Thought I'd goof around with a little b-day series. In case it's yours! Could be shortlived. Or maybe it'll go on forever. You never know. Hal Hartley , Paprika Steen and Charles Bronson Today's Birthdays, November 3rd ...some of them at any rate. For those who are prone to celebrating the lives of the filmic and famous. And if you aren't, you're not having enough fun. 1921 Charles Bronson had a Death...
