Yes I vowed on this website four years ago in January never ever to shop at Giant again.  This is after their PeaPod Grocery Delivery Service left $150 worth of groceries on my door step during an ATTENDED delivery stop.  I think Evil Bastard is still Deaf from my Angry Angry Panda screaming moment.  Well, at [...]

(or, A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer) I just took a look at categories and realized that nothing with a book topic had been published since 12/05. That’s pretty disappointing, especially with evil_bastard as a contributing writer. My last fun book was Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age. ———— “The primary protagonist in the story is Nell, [...]
