The Occasional Sin: August 2010
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 26, 2010. The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood. In The Handmaid's Tale. Remixed. That story tells of an infertile Rachel who used handmaids as proxies to have children for her:. And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die. And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath witheld from thee the fruit of the womb? How messed up is that passage? He doesn't mind thi...

The Occasional Sin: CB-III Book #3: The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011/05/sparrow-mary-doria-russell.html
Tuesday, May 10, 2011. CB-III Book #3: The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell. On to a book review. This was a very nice birthday present from Subie. I actually finished reading this a couple of months ago. The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. Horror movie-style, while the scenes after his return would see the main character gain some clarity and peace. I see Alfred Molina in the starring role, but I guess those higher up see things differently. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. CB-II...

The Occasional Sin: My Draenei Character: The Battle Within
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-draenei-character-battle-within.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. My Draenei Character: The Battle Within. Disclaimer: I realize I haven't moved too far from book reviews and WoW posts on this site.I assure you I am capable of writing about other things. I will attempt to do so.someday. So I was quite happy with my Horde home. There was a brief stint where I leveled up a gnome mage to 20 or something just cause they're so darn cute and tiny, but I stuck with the Horde. Until, that is, the Burning Crusade expansion introduced the draenei. Part...

The Occasional Sin: CB-III Book #1: The Shattering by Christie Golden
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011/01/cb-iii-book-1-shattering-by-christie.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. CB-III Book #1: The Shattering by Christie Golden. Maybe I shouldn’t have started my Cannonball. It was a pretty big deal, is what I’m saying. I decided to pick up this particular book because it sets the stage for what happened between expansions, before and after the world shattering. Despite having some amount of cheese that plagues nearly all fantasy, I was very glad I picked this up, and ended up tearing through it rather quickly. And draenei ( space goat aliens. All in al...

The Occasional Sin: June 2011
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 16, 2011. CBR-III Book #5: Reality is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World - Jane McGonigal. Was a wonderfully thoughtful gift from Subie, who heard McGonigal talk in Boston earlier this year and managed to score a personal signed copy for Rock and me. Thanks Subie! I had heard about McGonigal just a few days before Subie gave us the book when she was featured over at WoW Insider. So what is her message? The final section presents several examples of real (i&#...

The Occasional Sin: May 2011
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 13, 2011. CB-III Book #4: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey. This is another selection from my deck of cards. That I just got around to reading last month. Though, for some reason, I've had a copy of this book since high school. The same copy, mind you. Which means that for ten years (jesus, ten years! I swear I'm not a hoarder. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Also, an aside (cause where else can I say it? 32 down, 20 to go. Tuesday, May 10, 2011. On to a book review. This was ...

The Occasional Sin: July 2011
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. CBR-III Book #6: The Ultimate History of Video Games - Steven L. Kent. Despite my husband claiming that I am as much a gamer as they come, I don't really feel like one. I think video games are fun and can actually improve our happiness levels and teach us a few new things as well. But beyond that, I really just play the one game. So from my point of view, I don't have a good reason as to why I picked up this book. The only drawback to the book is just a matter of time. The b...

The Occasional Sin: December 2010
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 31, 2010. So Long, 2010. Well, I think it's pretty clear that the holiday season took a definite toll on my free time and my blogging. There is a big hole between right before Thanksgiving and today, but this is how it goes I guess. In any case, I figure New Year's Eve is as good a time as any to reflect on the year that's gone by and think about what's ahead. Happy New Year everyone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Occasional Sin: July 2010
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Stranger in a Strange Land - Robert A. Heinlein. Will now have this infamy for me: god, I hated this book. Have been groundbreaking and important in some way. So just because I didn’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t…I don’t know, I can’t say great because it really wasn’t to me, but I guess I can say that it’s important. There’s even a real life religion (cult? That exists today that is partly based on the religion created by Smith in the book. I don’t know, like I said, I did...

The Occasional Sin: Real Life Crits
http://occasional-sin.blogspot.com/2011/02/real-life-crits.html
Tuesday, February 15, 2011. This post is about a month late. And it was supposed to only be a happy post, dammit, but, as they say, shit happens. The absolute bitch of it being that I was laid off two days after closing. Yeah. Would be nice if winter could be over soon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This blog means that I am Sin (also Sinnh) and I will try to post here occasionally. Call it an experiment. View my complete profile. He's not gonna let them twist him and manufacture him.
