April: A Love Story $5.99 Some moments come along and your world–your life–changes. Something shifts inside and everything’s the same yet somehow different. Sometimes someone comes into your life and helps you to breathe for the first time, to think with clarity and to give you truth and joy. Often, we never see it coming. But it also happens when we need it the most and, usually, when we don’t realize we need it. For Joseph Bailey, life has come to a standstill; existence, living, call it what you will, have stopped moving, stopped flowing, stopped growing. Those he knew while growing up seemed to have gone down the right path, creating a so-called normal life. He’s not sure if he followed. Spending lonely nights writing comic book scripts and hazy afternoons watching cartoons brings him to his knees, and he needs something–maybe even someone–more. One Friday, while at a coffee shop working on a new comic script, Joseph is interrupted when a quirky girl with long black hair and smooth-as-marble gray eyes sits down across from him, seeking sanctuary from her controlling boyfriend, Dan. Her name is April. All seems under control even when Dan follows her in to the coffee shop, looking to patch things up. At least, that’s what was supposed to have happened. Once Dan leaves, Joseph figures his work is done and April will be on her way, never to be seen again. Instead, she stays, removes her sweater and orders an apple cider. Just then something slips inside Joseph, something good, right and pure. Their weekend begins. From a quiet night in an old railway car to seeking the undertones of humanity at the art gallery, to bringing to light the tender commonalities that we as humans share, April is a storyof how a simple chance meeting can hold you and protect you, and give you what the human heart is continuously after–Hope. |

The Big Enchilada: Campaign Adventures with the Cockeyed Optimists from Texas Who Won the Biggest Prize in Politics $13.99 Six years ago he owned a baseball team. Now he’s the leader of the free world. The Big Enchilada is a comic anthem to the wild and improbable crusade that propelled George W. Bush into the White House and to the close-knit group of Texans who made it happen, written by “the Bush campaign’s Renaissance man” (Time magazine). Writer and political strategist Stuart Stevens has been hailed by Martin Amis as “the perfect companion: brave, funny, and ever-watchful,” and The New Yorker has praised him for having “a wonderful eye for the curiosities of human behavior.” Here he tells the surprisingly funny, adrenaline-fueled story of the Bush campaign the public never saw — from the Austin coffee shop where Stevens watched Karl Rove sketch out the Republican master plan on a napkin to the small Methodist church in Crawford, Texas, where the blue-jeaned future president prepared for the make-or-break debates that no one expected him to win. He offers the inside view of the rise and flameout of maverick John McCain; the struggle to come up with a message that could be heard over a booming economy (“Times have never been better. Vote for change,” campaign aides joked); and the fierce debates over the upside and downside of “going negative” against a vulnerable adversary. Above all, Stevens turns the familiar political tale of disillusionment on its head. From the moment he arrived in Austin to join the campaign — “Stevens, get in here and let’s bond!” the governor said — he discovered the peculiar pleasure of working with people who not only respected and admired their candidate but actually liked him. They faced formidable obstacles, from a nation surfing a vast wave of peace and prosperity to an experienced opponent whose seasoned advisers bragged that the campaign would be “a slaughterhouse.” But Texans, as Stevens learned, are a confident bunch, and the Bush crowd remained convinced they would win the biggest prize of all — even |

The Feast of Love $9.76 From “one of our most gifted writers” “(Chicago Tribune), here is a superb new novel that delicately unearths the myriad manifestations of extraordinary love between ordinary people.

A young couple spends hours at the coffee shop fueling the idea of their fierce love. A professor of philosophy, stopping by for a cup of coffee, makes a valiant attempt to explain what he knows to be the inexplicable workings of the human heart Their voices resonate with each other — disparate people joined by the meanderings of love — and come together in a tapestry that depicts the most irresistible arena of life.

The Winter of Our Discount Tent $13.73 According to Jim Mize, nature has no mercy – just a sense of humor – and in this hilarious romp through the woods, he proves why readers praise him as an amusing combination of Marlin Perkins and Lewis Grizzard. The way Jim tells it, such overlooked creatures as fleas, flying squirrels, and chipmunks become curiosities of hilarious proportions. In the opening section, Jim waxes comic about carnivorous plants, insects that make people nervous, and birds with bad names. He points out, for instance, that all plants are edible. It’s just that some of them will kill you. He also notes potential uses for kudzu – erosion control, livestock fodder, and hiding the neighbors’ house as a prank while they’re on vacation. From the quirks of nature, Mize graduates to greasy kid stuff. He tells parents how to referee while paddling a boat, raise kids that people like, and survive the two hobbies no child can resist – rock collecting and entomology. And Jim has plenty of musings about hunting and fishing. Outdoors people are sure to chuckle as he ponders the purpose of carp ( fish so ugly they have to spawn in muddy water ), the perplexities of orienteering ( Getting lost has never been much of a problem for me; the problem is getting found .) and the procedure for getting crappie to bite at night ( Lay your rod down, hold a cup of scalding coffee in one hand and a floppy sandwich in the other, and, if possible, try to balance the open thermos on one leg. Then just wait. Bait is optional .). Saving some of his most laugh-provoking observations for his final section, Jim answers age-old questions about why women fish better than men, why people give homes to shoe-chewing puppies, and where to takespouses for a special occasion (he recommends steering clear of restaurants that proudly accept Bass Pro Shop credit cards). Jim’s entertaining insights are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud in renewed appreciation of the great outdoors. |
Why do these 80′s/90′s indie rock/alternative bands give me the same Goth vibe?
I do not know what it is. Is it a hunch, an intuitive feeling, and a deep Freudian disgust for the bands even though their music is great?
Whenever I hear/think of bands such as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Front 242, Sisters of Mercy, Midnight Oil, Bauhaus, Cabaret Voltaire, The Church, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cult, Gene Loves Jezebel, Cocteau Twins, Throbbing Gristle, Roxy Music, Love & Rockets, Shonen Knife, Oingo Boingo, etc… you get the point.
These bands/artists always conjure up images of goth teens of the 80′s/90′s, dressed in black, hanging out at coffee shops, talking comics and geek, and having Lenore and Johny the Homicidal Maniac patches on their purple back-packs. Teens that rae such college radio/pop-goth snobs that if you even question why Siouxsie Sioux went solo they will give you the cold shoulder.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a geek who likes a few select bands from above, but why do I always get the feeling I’m an outsider?
They give you that ‘vibe’ because they remind you of those goths that make you feel as an outsider. It’s a bad thing among the subculture, but there is a lot of elitism, is like…part of the enchant of the subculture. Myself, I don’t like nothing that ‘don’t talk to me…’ aura, I try to be open and answer any questions about my look, the subculture, and, of course, the music. Just don’t stigmatize the music for a bunch of ‘super-true-goth’ that are not really worth it, the music is soooo good,…those true-goths are just as bad as the poseurs that only listens to Gothic-metal and feel so goth, the same as them, they are lost in a stereotype, just so sad, don’t you think so? And, really, is quite strange to me that a GOTH that just listens ‘Siouxsie Sioux’ doesn’t stop doing whatever they’re doing and focus all their attention on the person who told it. Is like…automatic xD I dive into the scene, but avoid this ‘I’m-better-for-being-goth’ attitude, just so immature. But, please, don’t miss this sublime music just for a bunch of stupids, that wouldn’t be witty. And…if you like the music, you’re goth, forget anything else…fly with the music and then you’re ‘Oh-so-goth’, so don’t feel like that…

Malamanteau – Defining A New Word
Malamanteau is one word that is confounding many linguists. If you’re a fan of XKCD the web comic, you saw what one author believes malamanteau means. If you’ve heard malamanteau and want to know what it means, you’re in luck. The word malamanteau has nothing to do with love, sarcasm, or paycheck loans. All in all, malamanteau is relatively simple.
Defining malamanteau as the author did
This morning’s XKCD included a fake Wikipedia page with the word “Malamanteau.” When this comic was posted, there was no such page, though there is now. The definition XKCD offers for malamanteau is “a neologism for a portmanteau created by incorrectly combining a malapropism with a neologism.” This definition left even the smartest of financial types asking “huh?”
Breaking down what malamanteau means
The definition of malamanteau makes a lot more sense when you break down the basic parts of the definition. Neologism is a word meaning “a new word”. Portmanteau is a blended word. Any word that blends two words counts as a portmanteau – such as the contraction of “can” and “not.” If you substitute one word for another when they sound the same, but do not mean the same thing, you are using a malapropism. The word malapropism comes from a word that means “inappropriate.” For example, allegory instead of alligator.
Really defining what malamanteau means
What, exactly, then, does malamanteau mean? Mixing a wrong word with a new word creates, then, a malamanteau. Mix “masil” and “obliterate” to create “masillerterate” to describe stock market crash ruining the economy.
Malamanteau is, then, itself, a malamanteau.

Getting Humor Back in Life – Smoking Cessation Makes it Possible
You would experience the sheer hilarity of the quintessential Shakespearean comedy “As You Like It” in your own life the moment you quit smoking through an effective anti-smoking device, as in a smoker’s life, laughter is a rarity! In order to know how it happens, just have a look at the aftermath of cigarette addiction detailed below:
From the moment a guy falls in the grip of nicotine addiction to his final adieu to cigarette smoking, he is bound to encounter a hellish phase which consists of all the ill-effects of cigarette addiction that tortures him to death. From amongst all the serious circumstances unleashed by nicotine addiction, there are potential health hazards like cancer, erectile dysfunction and the minor troubles created by nicotine addiction such as scarring of the face, a drastic decline in physical attraction with the face and fingers losing their color to a significant extent.
With all these terrific setbacks occurring to you, even the Oscar nominated best Hollywood comic flick would fail to make you set laugh heartily and brighten up the sheen of your face. Then how to solve the predicament?
If I had been in your place, without a second thought I would have straightway dashed off to a nearby coffee shop, opened my laptop and would have searched for smoking cessation treatments. Out of the many options available one is to obtain a prescription from the doctor.
For all those who are afraid of Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms, Chantix is the best option. Chantix is an FDA approved anti-smoking medication and is available for sale all over the cyberspace. After gaining the physician’s recommendation for Chantix, you can opt to buy Chantix from an authentic medical store or an authentic online store.
Do whatever but remember that laughter and merriment would all be yours only after you get rid of smoking addiction. So, pull up your socks and jump on the Chantix bandwagon!

# The Charge
She’s still got it. He’s just getting it.
# The Case
Here is something I only recently came to realize about myself: I am a
Catherine Zeta-Jones fan. I caught a few minutes of **Chicago** on cable the
other night, and while I like that movie just fine (though the fact that it
won a Best Picture Oscar remains a source of comedy), I really, really like it
when she’s on camera. Her big showstopper number, “I Can’t Do It Alone,” is
the movie’s high point, and Zeta-Jones performs the hell out of it; it’s sexy
and athletic and brassy and contains just the right amount of approval-seeking
desperation. It’s not just **Chicago**, either; looking back on her
filmography, she’s almost always doing good and interesting work. Sometimes,
she’s unexpectedly good in an already-solid movie (**Traffic**, **High
Fidelity**); other times, she’s the best thing about a movie that mostly sucks
(**No Reservations**, **America’s Sweethearts**). She tends to be written off
a little because she’s so impossibly beautiful, and that’s a shame. She’s
really good.
None of this really helped improve my enjoyment of **The Rebound**, writer-
director Bart Freundlich’s romantic comedy shot back in 2009 …
