This past week has been one of those terrible, long drawn-out weeks with a seemingly never-ending list of to-do's. All I want to do for the rest of the weekend is lay in my bed, eat bits of English toffee, read my stack of untouched glossies (Vogue US - I've only briefly checked out the pepto-pink Gaga but I love it already, Lucky, Marie Claire, Nylon, Elle, and Glamour) and sleep, sleep, sleep! 

What are your plans (for this week/weekend/life)? I'm sure infinitely more exciting than mine!

Song of the day

So it was 2 in the morning and I was in the back of a taxi listening to my iPod. The atmosphere was made up by amber street lights on a dark night with snow fall. I was coming home after spending the night with a girl I met a week ago. I tend to be promiscuous when I’m single, and like to choose women that have the girl next door look. While the sex was great, I also tend to love the softness of a women in my arms. So in that mood of affection I was listening to Keane. Slightly buzzed from the wine I had earlier, the music sounded amazing and was just what I needed to compliment my mood. Of course all of this happened earlier this morning, but I felt it necessary to post Keane as providing my song of the day.

Song: Untitled 1
Artist: Keane
Album: Hopes & Fears

Green Candles

Title: Green Candles
Writer: Tom De Haven
Art Work: Robin Smith
Publisher: Paradox Graphic Mystery
Green Candles is the type of mystery graphic novel that I like. It’s lengthy, it has nicely drawn characters, and the story moves at a nice pace. The story centers on private detective John Halting, who is asked by schoolteacher Grace Penny to investigate strange photos she is receiving in the mail. The photos are of a green candle, and in every new picture sent it is burning down slowly. Grace Penny assumes that it is coming from someone in her past, and that when the candle burns out someone will kill her. While focusing on Grace, the graphic novel also has other sub-stories that allow the reader to see how complex the life of detective Halting is. The sub-stories that are included are about how John is dealing with his divorce, his relationship with his daughter, and helping his friend find his runaway son.


I really appreciated the sub-stories because it allowed for more twists and turns throughout the whole novel. As writer Tom De Haven said in the introduction of the book, he wanted to create a story that would allow for a series of other books to come. Thus by adding the sub-stories he didn’t make the life of John one dimensional or limited to one book, but has created the possibility for more stories of the detective. I liked the ending of this book because it solved the mystery of who was sending the photos in a clever and smart way. That’s a characteristic of a good mystery novel, having the ability to make the ending a surprise whose revelation makes everything clear. I really enjoyed this novel and would definitely recommend it to people that like smart mysteries.
