Review - Tea by Mathew J. Metzger
My rating:
Big burly electrician John ducks into a crowded coffee shop to escape the rain and grab a cup of tea when he bumps into a table and spills some coffee on Chris, a younger man who pushes all of John’s buttons. John may tower over most people and have to walk sideways through doors, and people may draw the wrong ideas from his appearance, but he’s no monster. After a disastrous end to his last relationship, though, he’s not sure.

Review - What It Looks Like by Matthew J. Metzger
My rating:
Eli is the son of a policeman and a forensic scientist. His parents clearly care for him, perhaps a little too much, but don’t really understand what the young man is going through. 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.
