A block-buster in every sense
With the fourth Pirates film hitting cinemas this week, it's about time the folks at TT Games got around to a Lego version of one of Hollywood's most popular franchises. But the wait has been worth it. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is a polished and hugely enjoyable adventure that might well be the best Lego game yet.
Shiver me timbers
On Stranger Tides isn't the sole focus, as the story mode spans all four of the movies. Levels are accessed from a hub port, and while you can choose any film to start with, the plots of each individual movie must be followed in order. If you want to battle the Lego Kraken – and yes, that's every bit as fun as it sounds – then you'll have to play through the four previous stages of Dead Man's Chest first.
And it's the second film in the series that gets the best of the set-pieces, with a roll down a mountainside in ball-shaped cages, followed by an epic swordfight inside and around an enormous water wheel. Not that the other movies are short of excitement – On Stranger Tides opens with a thrilling chase through the streets of London, while the swirling maelstrom at the climax of At World's End looks spectacular.
Drink up, me hearties
Indeed, the visuals here are often genuinely impressive. The game engine has been steadily tweaked over the years, a factor that was clear during the grand battles in Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars but is even more evident here. There are few of the graphical shortcomings from previous titles, and the fountains of Lego studs cascading from every smashed Lego object don't cause any kind of stutter to the action. Meanwhile, stormy seaborne sequences and bright tropical sunshine showcase the brilliant lighting and shadow effects.
Fans will be delighted to learn that the core of the Lego games hasn't changed a bit. You explore, solve puzzles, fight enemies and smash everything in sight. Every character has a specific ability, from blacksmiths who repair machinery, to those who can use ranged weapons. Barbossa's cursed crew can walk underwater, while Jack Sparrow has a compass that's used to find the 'X that marks the spot' where hidden items can be dug up.
Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow
Cap'n Jack himself provides many of the laughs, with a comical walk that captures the essence of Johnny Depp's rum-soaked performance perfectly. He's a hoot in the cutscenes, too, which helpfully streamline the excesses of films two and three, covering complex motivations and twists with visual gags, gestures, and occasionally cardboard puppet shows. Even if you're not familiar with the films, you'll frequently find yourself chuckling along. The films' darker moments are twisted in such a way that they're often the game's funniest.
With five stages per film, the story mode alone should take a while to finish, but the Free Play mode adds substantial replay value. The various trinkets and collectables are often inaccessible on the first attempt, and are only uncovered once you've unlocked certain characters whose abilities are required to reach them. This could easily be a cheap way to extend the game's life, but it's nothing of the sort. Rather than just tucking away individual secrets behind previously insurmountable obstacles, most stages have huge new areas that reward player curiosity, often with unique asides as an added bonus. Lego spider battles, anyone?
There's little that's genuinely new here, but it seems churlish to complain at what is easily the most polished Lego title to date. Improved partner AI is a boon if you're flying solo, while sticky platforms make running and jumping much easier when playing co-operatively. Leaner, funnier and more satisfying than the films, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is a real treasure.
+ Very funny
+ Thrilling set-pieces
+ Superb graphicsWALK THE PLANK:
- A little familiar
- Minikits too hard to find!
- Too many bit-part characters -
It's the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, which means we all get an extra day off. So with the weather being predictably unpredictable, why not spend it in the company of some great games?
Here's our handy guide for some of the best games to enjoy this bank holiday weekend, with ideas for children, for friends and family, or for getting some serious single-player gaming done!
Games for the kids:
If you have a kids and a Kinect, there's really only one choice - Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure, giving the chance for the little ones to play along with all their favourite Pixar characters, like Woody and Buzz, Remy the Rat, Lightning McQueen and the Incredibles. Kids will love using the Kinect to interact with their Pixar friends, lifting, steering, flying, swimming and smashing their way through a variety of fun games that will keep them occupied for hours, and feeling like they're part of the story.
For more quirky fun with their favourite characters, it's hard to go wrong with our wide choice of LEGO games. Kids can take a trip to Hogwarts and help Harry Potter and chums defeat Voldemort, set sail with the Pirates of the Caribbean, use the Force in Star Wars, or hero-up alongside Batman or Indiana Jones. With classic adventures recreated in LEGO's trademark building blocks, and delivered with LEGO's trademark sense of humour, there's plenty for kids of all ages to enjoy - and for parents to enjoy once the children have gone to bed!
Skylanders continue to be a big hit with the kids, and you'll be a big hit with your kids if you bring Skylanders home! The age-old battle of good versus evil is brought to life not only through the video game itself, but enhanced by the collection of character toys that interact with the game. There's a whole host of cool characters to collect and who join are brought to life in the game via the Portal of Power, so the opportunities for new games and new challenges are endless!
Games for friends and family:
When's the plenty of people round, a little friendly competition always goes a long way. Where better to find out who's best than at the Olympic games? And who better to play with than Mario and Sonic? Well, as luck would have it, Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is chock full of fun contests that test a wide variety of skills, with unique ways of interacting with the action. There's everything from sprinting to table tennis, canoeing to show-jumping, as well as some imaginative twists in the 'Dream' events, like a long-jump that takes you flying from cloud to cloud. And all for a lot less than a ticket to the real Olympics!
If you - or your party - starts to get a bit more active, then there's always Just Dance 3. The latest chapter in the hugely successful dancing game series continues to challenge all to bust their best moves. This time there's an even wider variety of dancefloor-classic songs from almost every era and a range of different game modes to keep the party fresh and four-player action for the ultimate dance-off! It's compatible with Wii, PlayStation Move and Kinect, and pushes motion controls to their funky limits!
Games on your own:
Looking for a game to put some serious single-player hours into? Well, you can always journey into space with Mass Effect 3, one of the biggest and most talked-about games of the year. This sci-fi adventure is as much an in-depth role-playing experience as it is a third-person shooter, promising a journey where you choices really define the way the game is played. Thousands of people all over the world have committed almost as many hours following Commander Shepard across the Trilogy, so why not spend this weekend finding out just why?
If you prefer your role-playing a little more traditional, then the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Pandora's Tower are two fantastic offerings. Questing in fantasy worlds, battling mythical beasts, swords, sorcery and an ending based on how you play - the whole RPG experienced wrapped up in a complete package! Skyrim offers a first-person adventure and dragons, while Pandora's Tower gives you classical music and a very personal quest. Either game will take up your entire weekend!
For time consumption of a different kind, Minecraft has finally made its way to Xbox 360 thanks to Xbox LIVE. This 8-bit phenomenon has become a global cult classic, with it's simple sandbox gameplay: mine things and then build things. What sounds so simple becomes perilously addictive as your skills and ambitions become greater and greater still, and the long weekend is ideal to get settled into a time-sucking game like this!

Who doesn't like saving time? Or money.
I'm online more than I'd like to admit. In fact, my entire life is coordinated via my Google calendar and email. It tells me when my kids have appointments and games. It reminds me when I need to be at school for a "special presentation" or to drop off another teacher appreciation dish. Thank you, Google calendar, for the oh-so-necessary email and text reminders when my mid forties brain doesn't operate per the instruction manual.
It's all there.. my life on the little screen. My computer, probably like yours, has become an indispensable tool that's front and center in managing our household. Matter of fact, our Mac is stationed two steps from the kitchen counter, the hub of all family goings on.
Besides my trusted Google calendar, I started thinking about all the websites I visit regularly–many of which some LoCo folks don't know about. And since I have nothing better to do this afternoon (okay, I could be planting shrubs, scrubbing floors or getting my dinner started), I can't help but share my go-to sites. Maybe you'll find some of these websites become bookmarks on your laptop, too. Or that every now and then, you need to do a little recipe shopping or shoe shopping–and you can't remember where to go. My list is my list. I'm sure you have your own. And if willing to spill the beans on your quintessential sites, write me a comment. For now, let me share a little of where I go when I let my fingers do the walking.
1. Hotwire.com — I am head over heels for this travel discount site. It's definitely my favorite–even let's you scout out deals on competitive sites from their homepage. Whether it's booking two hotel rooms in New York City so we can take everyone to see Mary Poppins, or snagging two hotel rooms at 11pm on our drive home from vacationing in Maine, Hotwire.com has never let me down. For NYC, Hotwire hooked us up with two $115 rooms at the midtown Sheraton. On the way home from Maine, booking from our iPhone, we landed two $49 rooms at one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in as a family. They served a buffet breakfast with real plates and glasses–we felt like celebrities.
The secret to booking through Hotwire is to be fearless, and smart. The site doesn't reveal which hotel you'll be staying in until you've checked out, but the company works with some of the most familiar names in the business, plus some of the chicest boutique hotels. Hotwire does reveal all the amenities of the hotel before you book: fitness center, breakfast, restaurant, pool, wireless internet, and more. It also gives each hotel a star-rating, which is comprehensively explained on their site. We've booked plenty of hotel rooms and rental cars through Hotwire.com–and even explored many of their vacation deals. Don't let the process scare you away–take a chance and save BIG BUCKS! I give this site a definite A+.
2.Yipdeals.com — Yep, I'm signed up for the daily emails from major players, Groupon and LivingSocial. But I'm LoCo, and not very many of Groupon's or Living Social's offerings are at my back door. That's what I love about Yipdeals.com– it's specifically targeting Loudoun County residents. One of the best deals going, which seems to repeat monthly, is Leesburg's Tally Ho Theatre family movie package. Get this: $20 for 4 first-run movie tickets, good any day of the week, a large popcorn, two medium sodas and a box of candy. Okay, read that again. $20 for what could easily run you $60 elsewhere. They've also featured Pev's Paintball specials, and Layng's Flower Farm deals. To win brownie points with my teens, I've purchased the Tally Ho deal and treated my teen and some friends to a movie night in downtown Leesburg. It's an easy pickup and drop-off, and they think I'm pretty cool (for about five minutes).
3. Takethemameal.com – This site was started by brilliant woman from Harrisonburg, Virginia, who was trying to figure out a way to better coordinate meals for friends and family in need. One person typically is charged with heading up this complex undertaking–weeding through a morass of response emails. Takethemsupper.com streamlines the entire process. There's still one coordinator, but he/she simply sets up the page where mealmakers log in and sign up for a night of delivering dinner. The process takes all of about five minutes–there's a place to make special notes about meal delivery or diet restrictions, add contact information, and even contact mealmakers about changes in plans (more servings needed, or switching delivery dates). After finding out which days are best for meals, the coordinator inputs the information and Viola!, an online sign-up sheet is created where volunteers register for a date and specify the meal they intend to deliver, thus avoiding four straight nights of lasagna.
The site also allows you to add links, like to one of my other favorites, youvegotsupper.com. When you sign up for weekly menus from youvegotsupper.com, you receive a week's worth of menus–varied, relatively easy to make, and typically kid-friendly. Choose the recipes you'd like to make for the week, and print out the recipes and grocery list. This site gives me fresh, quick-fix ideas for family dinners, keeping me out of the casserole rut and reducing my "What's for dinner?" panic attacks.
4. The 36-hour boutique sale sites. There are too many of these deep-discount websites to list, but I already have my favorites: Zulily.com; ideeli.com; ruelala.com; beyondtherack.com; hautelook.com and 6pm.com. The basic idea is that at a specific time each day, normally 10am or 11am EST, each of the aforementioned websites feature five or six new boutiques of designer items that will be on sale for just 36 short hours. The key is to be ready to buy when the sale goes live. You can preview the items in the hours before the sale begins, but only premium members, of which I am not, are permitted advance purchasing. Shelby, my high school junior, loves these deep-discount sites, because the designer brands she loves (Joe's, Rock & Republic, 7 for Mankind) are featured at typically 50-70% off retail.
But if you're a mom with young children, you MUST find Zulily.com–which is teeming with gorgeous name-brand apparel (including maternity and nursing wear), fashion accessories, custom-order stationery, home decor, shoes, toys, books and more for moms and their children alike. Ideeli.com showcases everything a man or woman requires to make a fashion statement–from high-end sunglasses and footwear to full-length gowns and bathing suits. My best Mom buys so far? A $17 purse for summer, and $100 worth of personal stationery for $50! Shelby's list is longer and thick with designer names (all bought at steep discounts)! You'll need to be "referred" by a member to join ruelala.com–but all you need is the email of someone already using the site. Like Ideeli.com, Ruelala.com offers an colorful collection of designer essentials–from reasonable to ridiculous in price, but all ready to go home at the 11 am bewitching hour.
I stop over at beyondtherack.com when I'm doing my rounds, but I haven't ordered from this site yet. Ruelala, Zulily, and Ideeli appear to be the best and brightest we've uncovered so far. Orders from Zulily, Ideeli and Ruelala have all been fulfilled and delivered as promised.
Check out 6pm.com and sign up for special sales alert emails. 6pm carries all your favorite dress-for-success brands, from Betsey Johnson and Johnston Murphy to Nike and Ray Ban. If you've seen a brand at Nordstrom or Amazon, more than likely you'll see it featured on 6pm.com. The special alerts notify you when the sales are, quite frankly, irresistible.
Every day offers something different on each of these steep-discount sites, which is why you'll quickly find yourself patrolling your favorites, previewing upcoming sales, waiting for that one extraordinary pearl and gold necklace or one-of-a-kind floral sundress.
5. Etsy.com. I LOVE craft shows–I find unique, handmade works of the heart absolutely magnetizing. I've driven all over the map in search of the next best craft show: Crozet, Richmond, Old Town Alexandria, Harper's Ferry, Frederick, Chantilly and beyond. With gas prices closing in on $4.00/gallon, thank God for Etsy. I can spend hours admiring the custom crafts of work-from-home moms from around the nation. Sure, there are dads on the site–but they're completely outnumbered by the ladies. I'm one mom who likes that disparity–go GIRL POWER! I also majorly like the talent.
I'll have to dedicate another post to some of my favorite Etsy shops. For now, here are a few of my current favs: Jennaration Yarns (especially love the hand-knit owl hat); gypsymoondesigns (stunning bohemian jewelry–lightweight statement makers); tannei casey (groovy patterned totes and purses); evalinen (striking felt jewelry creations); and ecoblingcouture (reclaimed and redesigned jewelry for your own red-carpet moment).
Thanks for letting this Loudoun Crazy Mom gush about some of my best online finds. I'd love to hear about yours–so write away. Thanks for stopping by–now get off the computer and enjoy this incredible spring weather. Plant a tree–a mandate from my own eight-year-old earlier this evening. Plant a kiss. Plant yourself in a new, unexplored part of your world. You don't have to go far. Just go.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Annotated Walden: Walden or Life in the Woods'
Henry David Thoreau moved into the cabin he had built on the shore of Walden Pond, thus beginning the most famous experiment in simple living in American history. On the 150th anniversary of that event, Houghton Mifflin, successor to Thoreau's original publisher, is proud to publish a new edition of Walden, annotated by the distinguished Thoreau scholar Walter Harding and illustrated with Thoreau's own drawings [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Assassination Vacation'
A New York Times Bestseller
Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, she visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood. The resulting narrative is the disturbing and fascinating story of how American death has been manipulated by popular culture. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Barrel Fever'
A collection of stories and essays by humorist and NPR commentator David Sedaris based upon his own experiences and the hidden perversity that can be found in Anytown, U.S.A. Here are images and blasphemies that nice people don't dare look at--blatantly exposed and told with the clear, casual voice of intimate knowledge. Sedaris' humor is born of compassion and his tales range from the sharing of cheery Christmas letters featuring infanticide, to experiences of the Gay and Famous (Charlton Heston and Elizabeth Dole, for example), to the lives of siblings named Hope, Faith, Charity and Adolph and to alcoholics and chain smokers you can laugh with. [via]
› Find signed collectible books: 'Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim'
It just isnt fair: most of us would be lucky to be able to express ourselves in writing half as well as David Sedaris does in his new book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim. But on top of his skills with the written word, the author also has substantial gifts as a performer, and he proves this on the audio version of the book. In his essay The Change in Me,Sedaris remembers that his mother was good at imitating people, and its clear that he takes after her. Whether hes doing impressions of high-voiced brother Paul, or recalling times when he and his sisters tried to win good karma by speaking and acting like well-behaved, fairytale children, Sedariss nuanced performance hits the right note on both the opening, comedic stories, and the more poignant essays that tend to come later in the reading. In fact, for those who have already read some of the best stories in other publications including The New Yorker, the CD or cassette version of this collection is probably the best bet for furthering your appreciation of the material.
Sedariss career is closely linked with two things: audio (he was discovered by NPRs Ira Glass), and the personal lives of himself and his family. In Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, he describes fights with his boyfriend, and his sister-in-laws difficult pregnancy. When sister Lisa complains about the stories involving the family, he writes about that, too. Sedaris's latest provides more evidence that he is a great humorist, memoirist and raconteur, and readers are lucky to have the opportunity to know him so well. Perhaps they are luckier still not to know him personally. --Leah Weathersby [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader'
The subtitle of Anne Fadiman's slim collection of essays is Confessions of a Common Reader, but if there is one thing Fadiman is not, it's common. In her previous work of nonfiction, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, she brought both skill and empathy to her balanced exploration of clashing cultures and medical tragedy. The subject matter here is lighter, but imbued with the same fine prose and big heart. Ex Libris is an extended love letter to language and to the wonders it performs. Fadiman is a woman who loves words; in "The Joy of Sesquipedalians" (very long words), she describes an entire family besotted with them: "When I was growing up, not only did my family walk around spouting sesquipedalians, but we viewed all forms of intellectual competition as a sacrament, a kind of holy water as it were, to be slathered on at every opportunity." From very long words it's just a short jump to literature, and Fadiman speaks joyfully of books, book collecting, and book ownership ("In my view, nineteen pounds of old books are at least nineteen times as delicious as one pound of fresh caviar"). In "Marrying Libraries" Fadiman describes the emotionally fraught task of merging her collection with her husband's: "After five years of marriage and a child, George and I finally resolved that we were ready for the more profound intimacy of library consolidation. It was unclear, however, how we were to find a meeting point between his English-garden approach and my French-garden one." Perhaps some marriages could not have stood the strain of such an ordeal, but for this one, the merging of books becomes a metaphor for the solidity of their relationship.
Over the course of 18 charming essays Fadiman ranges from the "odd shelf" ("a small, mysterious corpus of volumes whose subject matter is completely unrelated to the rest of the library, yet which, upon closer inspection reveals a good deal about its owner") to plagiarism ("the more I've read about plagiarism, the more I've come to think that literature is one big recycling bin") to the pleasures of reading aloud ("When you read silently, only the writer performs. When you read aloud, the performance is collaborative"). Fadiman delivers these essays with the expectation that her readers will love and appreciate good books and the power of language as much as she does. Indeed, reading Ex Libris is likely to bring up warm memories of old favorites and a powerful urge to revisit one's own "odd shelf" pronto. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Henry David Thoreau'
Henry David Thoreau wrote four full-length works, collected here for the first time in a single volume. Subtly interweaving natural observation, personal experience, and historical lore, they reveal his brilliance not only as a writer, but as a naturalist, scholar, historian, poet, and philosopher. "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers" is based on a boat trip taken with his brother from Concord, Massachusetts to Concord, New Hampshire. "Walden," one of America's great books, is at once a personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, manual of self-reliance, and masterpiece of style. "The Maine Woods" and "Cape Cod" portray landscapes changing irreversibly even as he wrote. The first combines close observation of the unexplored Maine wilderness with a far-sighted plea for conservation; the second is a brilliant and unsentimental account of survival on a barren peninsula in the face of hostile elements, historical change, and natural decay. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Holidays on Ice'
Holidays on Ice is a collection of three previously published stories matched with three newer ones, all, of course, on a Christmas theme. David Sedaris's darkly playful humor is another common thread through the book, worming its way through "Seasons Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!" a chipper suburban Christmas letter that spirals dizzily out of control, and "Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol," a vicious theatrical review of children's Christmas pageants. As always, Sedaris's best work is his sharply observed nonfiction, notably in "Dinah, the Christmas Whore," the tale of a memorable Christmas during which the young Sedaris learns to see his family in a new light. Worth the price of the book alone is the hilarious "SantaLand Diaries," Sedaris's chronicle of his time working as an elf at Macy's, covering everything from the preliminary group lectures ("You are not a dancer. If you were a real dancer you wouldn't be here. You're an elf and you're going to wear panties like an elf.") to the perils of inter-elf flirtation. Along the way, he paints a funny and sad portrait of the way the countless parents who pass through SantaLand are too busy creating an Experience to really pay attention to their children. In a sly way, it carries a holiday message all its own. Read it aloud to the adults after the kids have gone to bed. --Ali Davis [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'How to Be Alone: Essays'
Jonathan Franzen is smart and brash, the kind of person you want as your social critic but not as a brother-in-law. Many of the 14 essays in How to Be Alone, by the author of the critically acclaimed novel The Corrections, first appeared in The New Yorker, Harper's, and elsewhere. A long, much-discussed rumination on the American novel, (newly) titled "Why Bother?," is included, as well as essays on privacy obsession, the U.S. post office, New York City, big tobacco, and new prisons. At his best, as in "My Father's Brain," a piece on his father's struggle with Alzheimer's, Franzen can make the ordinary world utterly riveting. But at times, it can be difficult to discern where Franzen stands on any particular subject, as he often takes both sides of an argument. Valid attempts to reflect ambiguity s! ometimes lead to obfuscation, especially in his essays on privacy and tobacco, although his belief that small-town America of years gone by offered the individual little privacy certainly rings true. Franzen can write with panache, as in this comment after he watched, without headphones, a TV show during a flight: "(It) became an exposé of the hydraulics of insincere smiles." A few of the shorter pieces appear to be filler. Franzen shines brightest when he gets edgy and a little angry, as in "The Reader in Exile": "Instead of Manassas battlefield, a historical theme park. Instead of organizing narratives, a map of the world as complex as the world itself. Instead of a soul, membership in a crowd. Instead of wisdom, data." --Mark Frutkin, Amazon.ca [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Me Talk Pretty One Day'
David Sedaris became a star autobiographer on public radio, onstage in New York, and on bestseller lists, mostly on the strength of "SantaLand Diaries," a scathing, hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf at Macy's. (It's in two separate collections, both worth owning, Barrel Fever and the Christmas-themed Holidays on Ice.) Sedaris's caustic gift has not deserted him in his fourth book, which mines poignant comedy from his peculiar childhood in North Carolina, his bizarre career path, and his move with his lover to France. Though his anarchic inclination to digress is his glory, Sedaris does have a theme in these reminiscences: the inability of humans to communicate. The title is his rendition in transliterated English of how he and his fellow students of French in Paris mangle the Gallic language. In the essay "Jesus Shaves," he and his classmates from many nations try to convey the concept of Easter to a Moroccan Muslim. "It is a party for the little boy of God," says one. "Then he be die one day on two... morsels of... lumber," says another. Sedaris muses on the disputes between his Protestant mother and his father, a Greek Orthodox guy whose Easter fell on a different day. Other essays explicate his deep kinship with his eccentric mom and absurd alienation from his IBM-exec dad: "To me, the greatest mystery of science continues to be that a man could father six children who shared absolutely none of his interests."
Every glimpse we get of Sedaris's family and acquaintances delivers laughs and insights. He thwarts his North Carolina speech therapist ("for whom the word pen had two syllables") by cleverly avoiding all words with s sounds, which reveal the lisp she sought to correct. His midget guitar teacher, Mister Mancini, is unaware that Sedaris doesn't share his obsession with breasts, and sings "Light My Fire" all wrong--"as if he were a Webelo scout demanding a match." As a remarkably unqualified teacher at the Art Institute of Chicago, Sedaris had his class watch soap operas and assign "guessays" on what would happen in the next day's episode.
It all adds up to the most distinctively skewed autobiography since Spalding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia. The only possible reason not to read this book is if you'd rather hear the author's intrinsically funny speaking voice narrating his story. In that case, get Me Talk Pretty One Day on audio. --Tim Appelo [via]

Welcome to the hilarious, strange, elegiac, outrageous world of David Sedaris. In Naked, Sedaris turns the mania for memoir on its ear, mining the exceedingly rich terrain of his life, his family, and his unique worldview-a sensibility at once take-no-prisoners sharp and deeply charitable. A tart-tongued mother does dead-on imitations of her young son's nervous tics, to the great amusement of his teachers; a stint of Kerouackian wandering is undertaken (of course!) with a quadriplegic companion; a family gathers for a wedding in the face of imminent death. Through it all is Sedaris's unmistakable voice, without doubt one of the freshest in American writing. [via]
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Partly Cloudy Patriot'
In "The Partly Cloudy Patriot," Sarah Vowell travels through the American past and, in doing so, investigates the dusty, bumpy roads of her own life. In this insightful and funny collection of personal stories Vowell -- widely hailed for her inimitable narratives on public radio's "This American Life" -- ponders a number of curious questions: Why is she happiest when visiting the sites of bloody struggles like Salem or Gettysburg? Why do people always inappropriately compare themselves to Rosa Parks? Why is a bad life in sunny California so much worse than a bad life anywhere else? What is it about the Zen of foul shots? And, in the title piece, why must doubt and internal arguments haunt the sleepless nights of the true patriot?
Her essays confront a wide range of subjects, themes, icons, and historical moments: Ike, Teddy Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton; Canadian Mounties and German filmmakers; Tom Cruise and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer; " twins and nerds; the Gettysburg Address, the State of the Union, and George W. Bush's inauguration.
The result is a teeming and engrossing book, capturing Vowell's memorable wit and her keen social commentary.

Surprisingly, this long essay about society and art and sexism is one of Woolf's most accessible works. Woolf, a major modernist writer and critic, takes us on an erudite yet conversational--and completely entertaining--walk around the history of women in writing, smoothly comparing the architecture of sentences by the likes of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen, all the while lampooning the chauvinistic state of university education in the England of her day. When she concluded that to achieve their full greatness as writers women will need a solid income and a privacy, Woolf pretty much invented modern feminist criticism. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again'
David Foster Wallace made quite a splash in 1996 with his massive novel, Infinite Jest. Now he's back with a collection of essays entitled A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. In addition to a razor-sharp writing style, Wallace has a mercurial mind that lights on many subjects. His seven essays travel from a state fair in Illinois to a cruise ship in the Caribbean, explore how television affects literature and what makes film auteur David Lynch tick, and deconstruct deconstructionism and find the intersection between tornadoes and tennis.
These eclectic interests are enhanced by an eye (and nose) for detail: "I have seen sucrose beaches and water a very bright blue. I have seen an all-red leisure suit with flared lapels. I have smelled what suntan lotion smells like spread over 21,000 pounds of hot flesh . . ." It's evident that Wallace revels in both the life of the mind and the peculiarities of his fellows; in A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again he celebrates both. [via]

"Take the Cannoli" is a moving and wickedly funny collection of personal stories stretching across the immense landscape of the American scene. Hailed by "Newsweek" as a "cranky stylist with talent to burn," Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life.
While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears.
"Take the Cannoli" is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns. [via]

The story is detailed in its accounts of Thoreau's day-to-day activities, observations, and undertakings to survive out in the wilderness for two years. Thoreau's journal is an exquisite account of a man seeking a more simple life by living in harmony with nature. In today's fast-paced consumer-driven society the austere life style endorsed by Thoreau is as relevant and refreshing as ever. [via]

A 31-year-old man is dead after being shot at the Greenville County Law Enforcement Center, according to Greenville County Deputy Coroner Jeff Fowler.
Fowler identified the man as Wesley Swilling, of Mauldin.
Greenville Police Department officials said the shooting happened off McGee Street around 3 a.m.
Police said an officer was walking to his car in the back parking lot of the Law Enforcement Center when Swilling approached him in a threatening manner with what appeared to be a weapon.
According to a release from the Police Department, the officer got the attention of a deputy who was sitting in his patrol car writing a report.
The officer told the deputy Swilling had a gun, and he began coming toward the deputy and the officer in a "threatening manner," according to the report.
The report said that the deputy and the officer feared for their safety, so they both fired at Swilling, hitting him at least one time. The officers said Swilling went down, but got up and continued to come at them, so they moved behind the deputy's patrol car, and fired at him again, hitting him at least once.
EMS workers who responded to the shooting pronounced the man dead, the report said.
Fowler said Swilling died of multiple gunshot wounds. He was hit at least once in the chest. Fowler said.
Katrina Smith Millis told News 4 she has known Swilling for more than 20 years and that he would never threaten anyone.

What's your favorite holiday PC game? Here's mine
December 27th, 2011
Long time readers of this site know I have a fettish for really good adventure games. And one of my favorite adventure games for PC was played over Christmas break more than 15 years ago.
The year: 1995. I was browsing the Best Buy store in Douglasville, Georgia with my mom, looking for last minute Christmas gifts. Instead of giving, however, I spotted a deal I had to have for myself: A discounted PC port of a game that was previously exclusive to CD-i (you know, that $800 VCD console that never caught on).
Its name: Burn: Cycle. The premise: You're a data thief who inadvertantly downloads a virus that will fry your brain in a game-ending two hours unless you unlock the mystery by exploring a Blade Running like world, in addition to a fictional Internet looking for answers.
In short, the game is simple to play but difficult to master (a mark of all great games). It's live action (aka digitized) graphics haven't particularly aged well. But the characters, environment, writing, and puzzles are all worth writing home about. Definitly seek out a copy if you haven't already played it.
All told, it's probably the most memorable holiday PC game I've ever played. I don't know if that's because PC releases slow during the holidays, or I bought all the good games on release and didn't wait to play until Christmas. In any case, it was pure gaming bliss.
So did you play Burn: Cycle? Either way, what's your favorite holiday PC game?

To Love
I took most of my inspiration directly from the papers. I stamped the flower from Easter Joy a couple times on white CS, then colored with copics and paper pieced, adding some Stickles accents and a pink pearl for some sparkle. For the bottom panel, I embossed one of the Organic Flourish Cuttlebug borders across the panel and then sanded to make it more visible. The top of this layer is also punched with an SU! border punch and I added a few little pearls in between the loopy scallops for accent. The flower panel is matted on pumpkin pie CS and I added some Rock Candy crackle paint to distress it, then a coat of Pearlized Top Coat Smooch for some shine.
The sentiment from Feel the Sun is embossed in white and cut out with Nestabilities circles, then I added a little piercing and a top row of pearls to set things off. I finished off with some rich razzleberry mats and a couple rounded corners.
What's In It?
Stamps: Easter Joy, Feel the Sun (Verve)
Paper: Green at Heart (BasicGrey), White, pumpkin, razzleberry (SU!)
Ink: Versamark, A Muse Black Dye ink, Copic markers
Accessories: Square & Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), white taffeta, border punch (SU!), Organic Flourishes embossing border (Cuttlebug), Round-it-all (Zutter), paper piercer, pearls, Stardust Stickles

Two Palms Tie-Back Maxi Dress
It is too see thru
The dress is beautiful. However, the material is too thin and therefore the dress is completely see thru.
May 17, 2013
Simple yet classy
Loved this dress it runs real big though order a smaller size than you normally wear. Great to accessorize with colorful jewelry and shoes
April 12, 2013
Like the dress - cheap fabric
I love the cut and style of the dress. My disappointment is the quality of the fabric. The linen is very thin. The dress needs to be lined or only be worn to the beach or pool. This one is going back...
March 22, 2013
Pretty but...
I am on the fence about this dress. I just tried it on and while it is pretty and true to size, it's also SEE THROUGH! There is no lining at all. I'm not sure if I want to go through the hassle of finding the right slip to wear under this. For the record I am 5'7, 134 lbs and the small fit good. Length was almost to the floor.

During my school years I always felt embarrassed to read allowed what I wrote down on my piece of paper. When I was younger I couldn't handle criticisms from teachers and my peers who would just point one incorrect grammar, statement, and fragment of my essay after another. I would become all panicky and nervous waiting around for response from my reader. There even came a time where I just truly didn't really like to write because I always found my friends or other peers in my class room writings to be so much better than mines. They could write on their subjects for pages and make their sentences flow like water where compared to my sentences its like swallowing two tablespoons of cough syrup; doesn't run smooth down your throat because it tastes nasty.
I've been always told the same thing in high school about my writings as in elementary and middle school. My thoughts and ideas would sound great when I would present it orally. However, I just couldn't find a way to write or put it down on paper.
