Review - What It Looks Like by Matthew J. Metzger

My rating: * * * * *

They certainly don’t understand Eli’s choice in boyfriends. Rob is almost the exact opposite of Eli. Abused as a child, Rob is very much from the wrong side of the tracks. He has had several run-ins with the law, and even spent a few years in prison.

Review [sort of] - Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

This movie came up the other day, in the very tangential way that things do on Twitter. I decided it might make a good topic for a blog post, since it is one of may favorite movies, which might help explain a few things. [caption id=“attachment_986” align=“alignright” width=“300” caption=“Original movie poster for the theatrical release.”][/caption] The 1997 movie actually is based on a book, which helps make this review a little less off-topic.

Review - Jasmine Nights

My rating: * * * * *

This is one of my favorite books, and the one I’m most likely to recommend to people who ask for something to read about Thailand or Bangkok. Although set in the early 1960s, it still manages to accurately capture the crazy contradiction that is modern Thailand. For those that haven’t spent much time in Bangkok, many of the situations described may come across as wildly fanciful, but anyone who has lived here for any length of time will know they are dead-on accurate.
