Diana and I went to see The Cranberries in concert at the Nokia Theater in Times Square, New York City on Wednesday. As sad as it is today, it was my first real concert (as opposed to seeing bands play at a festival or something). The theater was nicer than I expected. The front half [...]

The second CD I picked up was the first solo album of “Dolores O’Riordan” (of Cranberries Fame), “Are You Listening?”
I haven’t had this CD as long but I have enjoyed it much more than the Linkin Park CD. I was disappointed when I heard that the Cranberries were going their own solo routes (they [...]

Linkin Park claims that they are moving in a new direction – and it definitely shows. I just don’t particularly like their new direction. The only stand outs on their new album [...]

I just finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke. The story is about an alternate reality where magic and faries are (or were) real and their existance was never doubted. It takes place in early 19th century England, a time which hasn’t seen any magicians for well over a hundred years, [...]
My friends and I picked up and started playing World of Warcraft yesterday. There have been good and bad things about the game.
The good:
All characters are very well balanced (seemingly), and you can have fun in a group or solo with any of them.
The environments and character models are amazingly well done.
The designers obviously [...]
