Over the last few months I rewatched the television series Alias. For those who haven't watched before Alias, it's the story of Sydney Bristow, double agent for the CIA and SD-6. Or at least that's what it is on the surface. Underneath it is a gripping family drama about the dynamics of a strained father-daughter relationship trying to find it's feet once again and even more strained

I read a couple of books these past few weeks. I am sure that totally shocks you. I will say this, I am going to try to read a few more non-fiction works this year. I want to get back to reading about the Middle East again and I wan to start reading some books about the founders of America. So, if you've read any good biographies lately, comment away.White Oleander by Janet Finch: This was

So, I took a little break there, didn't I? It wasn't really a planned thing but you know, it happens. I've been meaning to post something about all the books I've read for a while but then I got overwhelmed by life and such. You aren't getting the full blown deal like I normally do, mostly because I have a lot of books to tell you about. So, here goes.My Name is Will: A Novel of Sex, Drugs,

On Saturday I went down to the Obama rally with group of friends from work. My mom decided to join us. It was an amazing day. When we got through security, a gentleman asked my friend Steph if she was alone. A little weirded out, she looked at me and said no. The guy then informs us he is not a stalker but wants to know if we want to sit on the bleachers behind Obama. We totally agreed to

I've read two more books this week. Both books happened to be my beloved, fellow IU grad Meg Cabot. I've know about these books for a while but since I can whiz through a Meg Cabot book in a day, generally speaking, I've held off reading them as to savor them for the future. Anyway, I got tired of waiting so...Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg Cabot: Heather Wells. Former teen popstar cum Asst.

I kind of like summing up books in a few words. I think it's because I am lazy. So, here's some of the stuff I've read recently.Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins: Big thumbs + hitchhiking + Lesbian cowgirls = A book Sarah Palin would try to ban. Funny and strange but a great read.Dairy Queen by Catherine Murdock: Recommended by Marissa. Cows and football and training. Breaking

According to Out Magazine, the following albums are the 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time (thanks to Perez for posting this). The albums were chosen by polling "more than 100 actors, comedians, musicians, writers, critics, performance artists, label reps, and DJs, asking each to list the 10 albums that left the most indelible impressions on their lives." I wonder how many of these I own (

Ever since Bill sent me my Zune last November I have been accumulating Zune accessories. This summer I decided to purchase the Zune Car Pack v2 (the v2 part is very important). I was going to write a review back in July but I am glad I waited until I went on a trip to Chicago before writing this up.So, the car pack hooks into your car lighter and uses a radio station to play your Zune.

I ride the train to work pretty much everyday now unless something unusual like a doctor's appointment is going on. Honestly, I love riding the train because I generally get 30 minutes of reading time or music listening time or just thinking and staring out the window time. However, there are several things that really annoy me about the train. Here they are:1. I hate the ticket checker guy

So, I really need to vent. I mean big time vent. About a couple of things actually. So, first things first. I had been driving around on expired plates because the state of Missouri forgot to send me a reminder that my plates were expired. I don't check my plates too regularly so I kind of depend on the state to remind me of such things. And you know, you think they would remind you as they like

So, I just finished reading the final saga of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. Like Marissa, I have to say Huh? It's just not really at all what I thought the final chapter would be. Not that I really knew what I thought it would be. It just wasn't exactly what Meyer came up with for us. Anyway, I won't give away any of the details because I think think there are plenty of you who read

Anyway, here I am to post about some books I've read in the last couple of months.I actually read Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips back in May but I must have forgotten to blog about it because I only realized it after I saw it in Beth's list.

It sounds like the WB is finally going to release Everwood season two on dvd. My heart is filled with joy at this news. And at the same time I am wondering when they will give us seasons three and four so I can stop worrying about my tivo crashing everytime we have a storm. Yes, I am so obsessed that I have season four saved on my tivo. Yes, I know the show has been off the air for two years

I won't go into all the gory details but due to some female issues I became anemic. And being anemic. It. Sucks. I mean it really sucks.

Queen of Swords by Sara Donati is the latest in the five book saga of the Bonner family. Queen of Swords takes place in the unlikely spot of New Orleans during the War of 1812. Unlike the previous books, the focus is not on Elizabeth and Nathaniel but on Hannah, Luke and Jennet. In New Orleans Hannah, Luke, and Jennet encouter evil the likes they have never seen before.

For B-Mart:Well, I finally bought a camera. Actually, I got it about two weeks ago and really haven't found time to play with it until recently. Last week, I took my niece to the Botanical Gardens with my friend Angie and her daughter. It was hot and humid but a lot of fun. Anyway, if you want to see some pictures, check out my new flickr account.

If you love BSG you will get a kick out of this video. This guy's quest to meet Six doesn't seem all that nuts to me as I might do similar things to be the meat in a Helo and Sam sandwich. Holla! But hey, everyone who loves BSG isn't that huge of a dork. I think I am going to have download some music by The Old 97's now.

For a few years now I have been pestering my friend Angie to let me borrow her Wideacre Trilogy by Phillipa Gregory. And when I say borrow, I mean loan to me for an undetermined amount of time or possibly let me keep your books. She adamantly refused to do so since she liked the books so much. She finally broke down and bought me the trilogy for my Christmas present last year. And now here it

This story comes to us from a newspaper in jolly old England. "36MMM breasts scoop world record." How does this woman a)walk upright b)not have severe back pain and c)find a bikini top to fit those massive breasts? Each boob weighs 20 pounds. 20. POUNDS. Christ, that's like three handfuls.You have to click the link to see her before picture. Wow.

From m00se:This is a list compiled by Dr. Peter Boxall. Not sure I entirely agree with the list as I think these tend to favor certain authors and are often totally subjective and generally tend to ignore non-Western materials but I've put the ones I've read in bold, all 40 of them. Also, yes, I do realize that this means to admitting to the world that I've never read Jane Austen. Don't shoot

You know, I sometimes come to shows later that I should. Shows that are now my favorites; my must sees like The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Alias, Everwood, B-frakkin-SG. And now I must add Friday Night Lights to that list. Over the weekend I had a marathon session of watching season one via Netflix. This show is amazing. It's part compelling family drama, part teen angst, and part

This week I have been doing a lot of knitting and a lot of reading. Bless you, commuter train. Anyway, I finished Shannon Hale's Book of a Thousand Days. Hale tells the story of Dashti, a lady's maid, and Saren, the lady, who are to be locked away in a tower for seven years because Saren refuses to marry an evil Lord. When the Khan that Saren wants to marry arrives is when the adventure really

Last night I finally watched Once. I will admit that I am glad I waited so long for my initial desire to see this movie to pass. I found the film to be a little slow for the first 20 minutes and I was sort of wondering what exactly the plot was. But when I decided to go with the flow of the movie I really enjoyed it. I think I would have been a bit more disappointed had I watched this during

I read a couple more books in the last week or two. Here they are...This was my second reading of John Krakauer's Into the Wild. The first time I read this book, for a section I was leading at the old work place (they made all incoming Freshmen do a common reading), I really couldn't stand the main character, Chris McCandless. I thought he was immature, stupid, and, in many ways, selfish. I

I am totally stealing this from Marissa and I don't care. I hope this movie is going to be as awesome as the trailer makes it look. A lot of folks were peeved over the actor chosen to play Edward but I never was and I think this trailer backs up my agreement. Yum!

I am sure you are all wondering why I am posting so much in one day after I practically abandoned my blog. Well, the answer is this: Arabic is over until August. WOOHOO! I am very excited to be done even though I will need to stay fresh by listening to BBC Arabic news and quizzing myself on vocab.

You know lately I have been able to push down my urges to buy t-shirts from Threadless. But then they sent me an email about the t-shirt Attack of Literacy! How is the librarian and book lover inside of me supposed to thwart the attack of that awesome shirt? I think I will have to dominate it by buying it and wearing the shit out of it.

You know, lately, I have just been fed up with the whole thing. The in-fighting; the petty bickering; the my daddy taught me to shoot vs. people are bitter tifts. But I think that Sars has really hit the nail on the head with this one.

So, the last week or two was filled with reading some sad and disturbing tales. I have to say that I usually try to space out the heavy reading but it wasn't really up to me since one of the books is for an upcoming book club. Anyhoodle...I finally read M.T. Anderson's Feed. Feed is a story about our possible future. And if Anderson is even close to correct, that was over 200 pages of birth

Bill really shouldn't read this coverage of an event found on TWoP. While I thought it could have been written better, it's still a fun little article.

Don't read graphic novels on the train. It will make you sick.This lesson comes as a shock to me since I thought I had gotten over my reading in a moving vehicle = wanting to puke.

Today, I learned that this non-motion sickness does not apply

I love Diana Gabaldon. Since that fateful day in 1999 when Angie handed me the first three books in the Outlander Series I have been a devoted fan. I've devoured every word. I've reread the books; I've patiently waited for the latest installment in the ongoing saga of Jamie and Claire. I can empathize with Diana that she must get tired of the constant research and the dealing with the same

98 more books on the shelves. Well, I read a couple more books and I thought you might just be dying to hear about them. So I have maybe mentioned just how much I loved the BBC miniseries North and South a few times. Bur what you may not know is that I've never read the book North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.

Sometimes I think Beth's reasons and Bill's reasons and my previous pleas have fallen upon deaf ears. Because I think too many of you mother frakkers still aren't watching Battlestar Galactica. Well, if us regular Janes and Joe can't convince you maybe some famous folks who love this show can. Now go watch these frakking videos that splain to you how awesome BSG is.

Well after almost two months I finally got my car back from the shop. It seems strange to be driving my car again after all this time. I've been driving my parent's Impala for over a month now and it's a little strange to be in such a small car again. Not that I mind. I freaking missed my car and I am so happy to have my little, blue baby back. Driving my lil' Mazda home yesterday was pretty

I've told you before but I am saying it again. Watch Human Giant, mother frakkers! This shit is funny, plus Will Arnett. Who doesn't love Gob Bluth? Season 2 starts March 11 on MTV. WILL ARNETT-HUMAN GIANT SEX TAPE on FunnyOrDie.com

Holy shit! Holy crap! Holy moly! My pal Steph and I just got tickets to see Alison Krauss and Robert Plant play at The Fabulous Fox Theater. It's going to be awesome. Let the jealousy begin.

I know I haven't been posting much lately. That's mostly due to the fact that my aunt died last week and I was busy helping my cousins settle things. I know I usually talk about silly things like television and books in this space but I need to vent.It's strange that I am both happy and sad that my aunt is gone. I am happy because I know she's not in anymore pain. But it saddens me that

So, yeah. I haven't posted in a while. To make a looooong story very short, one of my aunts is sick with cancer and most likely will not live to see March. So, I have been spending a great deal of time in a hospital waiting room. While this sucks on a whole lot of levels, all this waiting has given me ample time to read. And read and read. Here are three of the books I've read recently.A

I don't know if any of you are watching Eli Stone. But I am. Created by Greg Berlanti (yes, of Everwood fame) and starring Johnny Lee Miller and Victor Garber (squeee!), Eli Stone is the story of a lawyer who develops visions after having an inoperable brain aneurysm. Is Eli a sick, crazy man or is he a prophet? Tune in Thursday nights to find out.Also, I just want to say that my love of all

So, last night on Project Runway Ricky FINALLY got the boot. I have been wanting his cry baby ass to be kicked off for a while now. Alas, what has me stupified is that this guy who has cried all season for no damn reason did not cry when he's finally eliminated. I sat there and I kept waiting for the tears to come. And they did not. Ricky vexes me so. I was happy to see Chris win last night

Thanks to GMYH I was compelled to watch The O.C. in syndication on SoapNet. Now, I've seen the series twice through now and I am working my way through round three. Don't judge me; there is a writers strike going on. Anyway, I am continually amazed at how the final episode of season one makes me sob for the last 15 minutes. It's the perfect, sad culmination of a wonderful season. And it

Hey Arrested Development fans,BIG NEWS: We may be getting a movie, according to an exclusive straight outta Bateman's mouth. Jason Bateman (obviously) and Jeffrey Tambor have already agreed and I can't imagine the rest of the folks would say no. If you've ever listened to the commentary on the dvds you can tell how much they all loved doing the show.This is so frakkin' exciting. I am squeeing

Well, it looks like Mann Coulter is putting her weight behind Hillary. One more reason why I hope Obama gets the bid. You know shit is fucked up when MANN COULTER sides with Hillary over McCain.

310. American Life ~ Madonna (last listen: never): A gift from one of my gays and I can say that none of these songs really grabbed my attention. That's a real shame. Anyway, hopefully Confessions will be better.311. Confessions on a Dance Floor ~ Madonna (last listen: never): Well, if nothing else, I really do dig the sung Hung Up. Thanks for this cd too, gays.

I am so addicted to the new Robert Plant/Allison Krauss cd and I think this might be my favorite song on the disc. Check it out.

305. Madonna ~ Madonna (last listen: 5+ years): I haven't listened to this disc in ages. What's crazy is that it still sounds pretty fresh. People like to crap on Madonna but she knows how to make a good pop album.306. Bedtime Stories ~ Madonna (last listen: 1-3 years): I forgot how much I liked this disc. It's got a bit of the dirty pre-motherhood Madonna that we've all forgotten about. But

So, just in case you were curious about how I have been filling my time lately; I thought I would fill you in. Aren't you excited?First, the books. I finally finished Stowaway by Karen Hesse. Stowaway is the story of Nick Young. Nick is, as the title says, a stowaway on Capt. Cook's vessel The Endeavor. The book is in diary form and tells Nick's point of view on the ship. The book was

This morning sucked. And when I say sucked; I mean REALLY sucked. On my way to work this morning I got into quite the fender bender (that's #14 for those of you keeping track). Let's just say icy roads + jerky drivers + losing control = Jalehlabad's car is in the body shop. I don't know the extent of the damage or if things are being totalled or what. I can tell you that I (and the other eight

Well, I wasn't going to vote for him anyway but this interview solidifies it for me. Dude, it's just stupid and wrong to equate homosexuality with bestiality and polygamy. Most of my gays wouldn't want to have sex with an animal because they smell bad. Gays are all about smelling good, Huckabee.* Also, your G-O-D ain't mine so keep him the fuck out of my constitution and my womb and wherever

I thought you Gilmore Girls lovers out there might appreciate this article I found on The Huffington Post. Comparisons are made between a beloved Paris Geller and one Senator Clinton. Personally, I would probably vote for Paris before I vote for Hillary but then who wouldn't want Doyle to be the First Husband/Gentleman?

Well, it's been a while since I sat down to blog. So, let me tell you about all the fabulous stuff you've been missing.1. The Zune. It rocks. Beth recently asked me how I was enjoying my new Zune since she is thinking about buying a replacement for her ipod. Well, I can't make ipod comparisons as I've never owned an ipod per se but I've used itunes quite a bit. So what is there to say?Well,

So, yeah. It's been a while since the last post. The funny thing is I've been online everyday; I just haven't really felt like blogging. At any rate my last book read this year is Meg Cabot's Princess on the Brink.Princess on the Brink picks up where we last left Princess Mia. She's going to be a junior. She's still dating Micheal and Mia's whole crew is back for the new school year. Only

So we are getting ready to enter the Led Zepplin phase of the listening project. I know this is going to sound like blasphemy to some of you but I've never really listened to Led Zepplin before. I have these discs because DiRRty thought I should have them. I've never been opposed to Led Zepplin; it's just I've never really been exposed to them either. I know that they have influenced some of

You know they say it only takes doing something for three weeks for it to become a habit. Which is why I am more than a little nervous about the looming date of December 31. See, Brotherhood 2.0 has become a habit for me. It's like crack in the form of a vlog. I am starting to get worried about going into John and Hank withdrawal. How will I be able to see happy dances anymore? And I will

Hello. My name is Jalehlabad and I am a Meg Cabot-aholic. I can't help it; I am addicted to all her books and I love them. It's a disease, y'all. And had I known about her when I was in Bloomington I would have maybe tried to get her to meet me at the new Target and discussed the pros and cons of the Target being attached to the mall (since she is a B'ton native and an IU grad). It sounds

We had to have Christmas early this year because my sister is a nurse and she has to work on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the whole weekend before that. So, we had Christmas yesterday. Every year, my parents have this guy come dressed like Santa and he gives a present to all the kids and adults.This year Santa brought me North and South (BBC edition) on dvd. Sweet! I scored! As I

When I read the graphic novels of Marjane Satrapi I felt like I was living her life. She really has a way of pulling the reader in. Now, they've turned what looks to be Persepolis and Persepolis 2 in a film. I cannot wait to see this. My only real complaint is all the stuff that takes place in Iran has French subtitles. Couldn't they have found people who could speak some Farsi? **Thanks to
