![]() ![]() Disappointed that Shoo is not the person that she presented herself to be, Effie declares that she is never going to listen to Shoo’s music again. The inclusion of these actual functions that have long been associated with witchcraft is one of the ways that The Witches of Brooklyn sets itself apart as a thoughtful, perceptive story about magic hidden in plain sight.Īnother one of the highlights of The Witches of Brooklyn is the way that it approaches Effie’s disillusionment with her musical idol, pop star Tily Shoo. ![]() ![]() While Carlota and Selimene also engage in more overtly magical spells, the comic makes a point of including these more “realistic” herbalist activities. They also provide acupuncture services, which they explain to Effie is a method of reopening blocked energy passages. They explain that many of the plants cultivated in their personal garden have healing properties, and tell her that they embody an ancient tradition of using plants to treat everyday aches and pain. Before Effie is completely brought into the magic fold, Selimene and Carlota describe themselves as “herbalists” to her. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A way that's making me feel like maybe settling for what I have isn't so smart.but really going after what I want is the craziest thing I may ever do.

I don’t know how good the translation is because I don’t know Romanian. It doesn’t capture what happens inside but I suppose it would be interesting if the novel is new to you. I don’t like the image on the front cover, though. So Nineteen Eighty-Four is now available in Romanian in this attractive edition by Polirom. ![]() The novel was (I assume) banned under Ceaușescu, but all things must pass and Ceaușescu was one of them.

(In case you’re wondering, this day marks our freedom from Mexico in 1836, which was the beginning of Texas’ nine-year stint as a sovereign nation before it became part of the United States of America.) And as chicken-fried steak is also known as the (unofficial) state dish of Texas, I can’t think of anything more appropriate to serve on March 2, Texas Independence Day. It’s been said there are three food groups in Texas: Tex-Mex, barbecue, and chicken-fried steak. “Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas without eating a chicken-fried steak.” -Larry McMurtry ![]() ![]() ![]() When a member of his flock, Henry Beddows (Denholm Elliott, Raiders of the Lost Ark), reaches out to author John Verney (Richard Widmark, Kiss of Death), the story focuses on Beddows’ daughter Catherine (Natassia Kinksi, Cat People).

Unfortunately, the last film he had a starring role in turned out to be the end of the original Hammer era. However, everyone best knows Lee for his numerous horror flicks from Hammer Films. In fact, he continues to make movies today with two more films due in The Hobbit trilogy. Christopher Lee is the last of the true horror legends that is still with us. ![]() ![]() A hacker: Alex Huang, an MIT dropout turned Silicon Valley software engineer.
