As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. You're saying that humans need fantasies to make life bearable.

5/31/2023 0 Comments Meryl streep carrie fisher movie![]() ![]() She mostly used the video to evict house guests. Oh, and she owned the only official copy of The Star Wars Holiday Special, which George Lucas gave to her in exchange for doing the audio commentary for A New Hope. Rounding it all off, Fisher was one of the most in-demand script doctors during the 1990s, being hired to punch up such films as Hook, Sister Act, and all the Star Wars prequels. She also wrote and performed Wishful Drinking, a one-woman play about her life. In her later career, she was primarily focused on her work as a writer, having penned such books as Postcards from the Edge (which was made into a 1990 film starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine), Delusions of Grandma, and Surrender the Pink. Fisher herself was briefly married to Paul Simon. Of course, she was Hollywood royalty well before Star Wars was made, being the daughter of the late singer Eddie Fisher and the late actress Debbie Reynolds, whose late '50s divorce was one of Hollywood's most infamous scandals of the time, as her father had an affair with Elizabeth Taylor. She also starred in Shampoo, The Blues Brothers, Under the Rainbow, Amazon Women on the Moon, Hannah and Her Sisters, When Harry Met Sally., and Drop Dead Fred. She's most famous for starring as Princess Leia Organa in the Star Wars saga. ![]() Carrie Fisher talking in her memoir The Princess Diarist about A New Hope.Ĭarrie Frances Fisher (Octo– December 27, 2016) was an American actress and writer born in Burbank, California. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Leon craig parallel hells![]() ![]() My personal favourites of the collection were 'Ingratitude', in which a girl inherits a serpentine bracelet that will sever the hand of those who fail to procreate, and 'Sapling', based on faerie lore, in which a young woman is tasked to battle a transphobic father and his Fae creditors to save the woman she loves. While not favourable for everyone, the discordance the reader is made to feel gets under the skin, which is something any horror writer should be proud to achieve. ![]() With an unlikeable viewpoint character, a lot of the narrative is uncomfortable to witness, which is a common theme throughout most of the short stories. Many questions are raised in this story without many answers given, leaving the bulk of the events up for interpretation. As her father lays in bed with a mysterious illness, the woman befriends one half of a neighbouring couple, quickly learning that something sinister is afoot. The first story, 'Suckers', sets the general tone of the collection as we're thrown into a tale of an eerie vacation taken by a young woman and her father. This atmospheric collection contains tales of vampires, a golem, a dibbuk, a Viking murderess and more, as Craig makes use of different tropes and creatures from around the world. In Parallel Hells, Leon Craig offers a compelling dive into themes of identity, sexuality and trauma through the lens of folklore and Gothic horror. “Horror is not dissimilar to love, in that all time gets folded in to meet it.” ![]() ![]() I am swooning while writing about Dan so you can imagine how much I truly love love him. He made my heart ache with the same shitty feeling he experienced. He is just so honest and caring and hot and lovely. I’ve always maintained that people who curse a lot and the most genuine people because they do not hesitate in expressing their thoughts. ![]() I think I have a teeny tiny maybe huge crush on her.ĭan oh my sweet dirty man! *heart eyes* I just adore this man with all my heart. I loved how innocent, self – aware and freaking smart she was. She might not have all of her life sorted but she had the strength to fight it out. Kat, I think, is my most favourite Penny heroine. In fact, my love for ger stories grows more and more everyday. I have been a ginormous Penny Reid fan since I read her first Knitting In The City book and that hasn’t changed one bit. ![]() I cannot even begin to explain how much I loved this book and what special place it holds in my heart. What’ll happen when Kat realises that Dan is not as unaffected by her as she thought? ![]() The only person who can help her is Dan O’Malley.ĭan is the perfect candidate for the job, single, charming, trustworthy and is not even the least bit romantically interested in Kat. Being a billionaire heiress is not an easy job and Kat is about to learn that the hard way. She needs to get married asap to avoid disastrous consequences. ![]() 5/31/2023 0 Comments Grin and Beard It by Penny Reid![]() ![]() Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heart-throbs. And habit of looking at her too long and too often. Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it's not Jethro's chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. ![]() ![]() Much to her consternation, Sienna's most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky Park Ranger by the name of Jethro Winston. Therefore, when Sienna's latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the backroads of Green Valley, Tennessee. But she has a problem, she can't read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna. The movie studio executives can't explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood's most beautiful elite. Sienna Diaz is everyone's favorite "fat" funny lady.
