In case you missed it...

August 22, 2010 - Who wants to hear about our trip to Stratford? "Me, me, me!" Oh, good.
August 15, 2010 - Partially about expectations. Partially about short reviews. The Two-Face of blog entries.
August 8, 2010 - Yeah, so it's that time of summer when I cart out the pre-fabs -- aka the posts I type up during the year but don't post right away because they leave me thinking "meh? Am I really interested in this?" I like fandoms, but enough to have something cool to say about them? Not sure. You tell me.
August 1, 2010 - I'm back! Unfortunately, all I brought you was this blog entry on issues I haven't thought out very well! Hooray!
July 18, 2010 - All right! Twist endings! Woo hoo! Also, in related news, I'm out of the country for a week or so. No blog next Sunday.
July 18, 2010 - Er, posted the Space Race recap last week. Noted it this week. Was at the cottage. Sorry.
July 5, 2010 - Well, the short reviews were up yesterday, but this announcement is up today. Happy belated Canada Day, Pride, and 4th of July!
June 27, 2010 - Boy oh boy, having the G20 in Toronto sure is fun! You know what else is fun? Writing the ends of mysteries. Also, bad segues.
June 20, 2010 - Happy Father's Day! And on an unrelated note, this just in: starting fantasy stories is difficult.
June 13, 2010 - Oy. More Jewish stuff.
June 6, 2010 - Happy birthday, Tory! Unfortunately, all I have is another blog entry of short reviews.
May 30, 2010 - What is art? I don't know, but apparently I don't like it.
May 23, 2010 - What could it possibly mean to say a published story is like fanfiction?
May 16, 2010 - Eventually I'll stop using House, M. D. to talk about issues in fiction I'm hashing out for myself. But not today. Not today.
May 9, 2010 - Happy Mother's Day! And on a completely unrelated note: real rambling about how smart female characters seem to lack social connections in their peer groups.
May 3, 2010 - Note to self: spending a week sick in bed immediately followed by a move to a new apartment results in lateness of blog entries and is not a great idea. On the other hand, I think looking at how much people care for fictional characters is (a good idea, that is)!
April 25, 2010 - Still done! Still more short reviews!
April 18, 2010 - I'm done my specialist exams! Which means that I have time to read and watch lots of things! Which means...short reviews. Yay!
April 11, 2010 - Dear blog, I don't understand why you're suddenly giving me trouble about the date and time I'm publishing my entries. Will this short ramble on Jews in stories appease you? Love, me.
April 4, 2010 - Hi, April! Happy Easter! In, uh, celebration, a post about having to know things while reading or viewing stories.
March 28, 2010 - After some confusing and unexpected problems with post dates, here's just another average post.
March 21, 2010 - I don't actually have March Break myself, but enough of my friends are teachers that I feel like it's a vacation anyways. So I saw a couple movies based on children's books. Now if only I can find time for Diary of a Wimpy Kid...
March 14, 2010 - Happy Pi Day! Also, more on point of view on TV and in print!
March 7, 2010 - Welcome to another exciting installment in the ever-continuing saga of "themes and writing choices House, M. D. makes me consider." This week: point of view, part one!
February 28, 2010 - It's the last day of February! Ever wondered how bedbugs and zombies are alike? Now you know!
February 21, 2010 - Some thoughts on being smart vs. being happy and being smart vs. being nice in fiction. Or, wherein I probably should have used every grad-student-in-the-humanities' favourite phrase: false dichotomy.
February 14, 2010 - Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! To prove I am not a total cynic, here are some reasons why I really do like the shows I complain about all the time. Don't worry - I'll be back to my usually negativity next week!
February 7, 2010 - Apparently, I'm an emo kid, because this week I've decided to grapple with 7 things I'm really bad at. Only, not so much "grapple with" as "try halfheartedly to excuse by pointing out".
January 31, 2010 - Hey hey, ho ho, more short reviews are the way to go!
January 24, 2010 - I realized that my list of favourite characters from way back when contains not a single woman. Also, I really like Deb Morgan from Dexter. Between the two, I decided to write about four of my least not-favourite female characters.
January 17, 2010 - Yeah, so I'm pretty much obsessed with the Sherlock Holmes paradigm of genius + best friend. Which is why the new movie Sherlock Holmes prompted me to think about comparing "modernizations" of Holmes.
January 10, 2010 - In continuing with my see-tons-of-movies-around-Christmas tradition, a blog that is definitely not actually about Avatar.
January 3, 2010 - Happy birthday, Diana! For the first blog entry of the new year, I try to reflect on what I learned in 2009.
December 27, 2009 - It's that time of year again... time for me to ladle out some short reviews. Which are a dish best served cold.
December 20, 2009 - Visitin' my sister in Halifax, but still got time for a blog-entry book review.
December 13, 2009 - See, I told you I'd be back to gender-writing-sexism related comments.
December 6, 2009 - Are those pigs doing a loop-the-loop around the spires of Toronto skyscrapers? Must be, because I'm blogging about how much I enjoy Canadian theatre.
November 29, 2009 - Happy birthdays, Tyler and Erin! I'll be back to gender-writing-sexism related comments soon enough, but first, some slightly repetitive but hopefully amusing dialogue diagnoses.
November 22, 2009 - This just in: female characters get judged harshly. So what else is new?
November 15, 2009 - I try to write not-sexist stories. But sometimes, it's difficult.
November 8, 2009 - I'm not a robot! Without emotion! But some fictional characters are. Why do we love them anyway?
November 1, 2009 - "On Strong Women in Fiction", or "Wherein I Prove That I Really Do Secretly Hate Every TV Show I Love": A Blog Entry
October 25, 2009 - This is for all you family members who keep asking me about this whenever we speak: a brief summary of my thesis topic. No, really, if I have to print business cards with this URL on them to hand out whenever I come home for the holidays, I will.
October 18, 2009 - For all two of you who were wondering, an overlong, hastily put-together, could-be-better-thought-out essay on why I don't eat pork. At least it's not a travel blog!
October 11, 2009 - Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Canadians! The last but totally not least travel blog is up. Hooray pictures! Even more hooray for next week being my usual rant about books, movies, writing, or various underdeveloped philosophical issues!
October 4, 2009 - See? Part two of my image-heavy travelogue, just as promised. Next thing you know, I'll be back to my every-Sunday routine.
September 28, 2009 - Yeesh, send me off to Asia, and regular updates go to H-E-double-hockey-stick. But I'm back now, bearing photos.
August 24, 2009 - I'm off to Japan and Singapore in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, so I may not be around for a few weeks. But before I go, here's one last blog entry. Check out the Quest for the Holy Grail!
August 16, 2009 - Yep, that 2000Y paper took up a lot of my time, all right. So here I am two weeks later with the second part of my rambling on books vs. movies, this time about the Showtime TV series Dexter. Better late than never!
August 2, 2009 - Happy birthday, Aunt Ruth! I'm pretty busy working on my 2000Y paper, which is kinda like a giant term paper/short Master's thesis you do in your second year in my PhD program , but I still managed semi-coherent thoughts on why I enjoyed the new Harry Potter movie better than the book.
July 26, 2009 - What is rationality? More importantly, can I work a blog entry out of it?
July 19, 2009 - On unanswered questions.
July 12, 2009 - A book "review". Or, why Sarah should no longer be allowed to read popular science!
July 5, 2009 - Are you an FML or GMH kinda person? Let me know in the comments!
June 28, 2009 - I'm baaaaaaack...!
June 12, 2009 - Happy birthdays, Heather and Ken! Um, it's Friday, but since I'll be offline until June 27, I figured I'd just let you know that I wouldn't have changed my math minor, either.
June 7, 2009 - If I had my major to choose over again, would I still pick drama? You bet!
May 31, 2009 - Now that school is over for most university students, allow me to be extremely unhelpful and offer my subjective, personal tips on how to do well on essays.
May 24, 2009 - OK, more short reviews, coming right up. Finally.
May 17, 2009 - So apparently, I lied about more short reviews over the next couple of weeks. But here are some thoughts inspired by the new Star Trek movie. Among other things.
May 10, 2009 - Happy Mothers' Day! Here's a completely unrelated blog entry on games.
May 3, 2009 - More short reviews next week (I think). But this week, an interlude on The Time Traveler's Wife, regresso-fic, fate, love, and Shakespeare. Click it. You know you want to.
April 26, 2009 - With luck, by the time you read this, I'll be finished my last term paper. What is "this," you might ask? Short reviews of books, movies, and video games! Huzzah!
April 19, 2009 - Last week's episode of House got me thinking about a peculiar character flaw in fiction.
April 12, 2009 - Happy Pesach! Happy Easter! Happy reading strange pseudo-moral-philosophical ramblings on freedom and ethics!
April 5, 2009 - More evidence that I'm dumb enough to get caught up in Internet arguments without actually replying to a single message board thread.
March 29, 2009 - In which I admit that I like spoilers better than actual TV. And try to explain why. Also, it's almost April already? Why didn't I get this memo???
March 22, 2009 - Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. Read all about it! (Note to self: quit it with the Rorschach-style update announcements.)
March 15, 2009 - Aw, heck. Watchmen.
March 8, 2009 - Do you get jealous of fictional characters? So do I.
March 1, 2009 - What, March already? Here's a blog entry about putting your behind in your past (thanks, Pumbaa). Or something like that.
February 22, 2009 - What did I do last weekend, you may ask? Why, I went to see Coraline 3D.
February 15, 2009 - Happy belated Valentine's Day (aka Buy-the-Chocolate-On-Sale-At-the-Drugstore Day)! I have started watching TV again, but I'm disappointed. Here are some reasons why.
February 8, 2009 - What do Gregory House and Richard Dawkins have in common? Find out on the blog.
February 1, 2009 - On one hand, I'm no longer blogging about accepting and rejecting other people's crits. On the other, I *am* blogging about why I like writing about villains so much.
January 25, 2009 - The final part of three about writers and accepting or rejecting other people's crits: Why should I care about getting published?
January 18, 2009 - The second part of three about writers and accepting or rejecting other people's crits: What if critiques have a moral component?
January 11, 2009 - A blog entry about writing: how should a writer take criticism during revisions? Well, a little more meandering than that, but it should be part one of three different perspectives, so work with me.
January 4, 2009 - The first blog post of 2009 is a little later in the day than usual, but work with me - it's a nightmare getting to Toronto on VIA rail the day before university and college starts!
December 28, 2008 - Well, it's approaching both New Year's and my birthday, so here are some short New Year's book, film, and game reviews. Perfectly logical connection.

November 2, 2008 - On the blog: Happy Hallowe'en (image-heavy)!

October 19, 2008 - It's new, it's coming to a theatre near you, it's a blog entry on stories with more than one ending.
October 12, 2008 - Now hear this... reviews of novels by Diana Wynne Jones... Part TWO is up on the blog. Yay for finishing things!
October 5, 2008 - On the blog this week: some reviews of novels by Diana Wynne Jones... Part ONE. Yes, be afraid. Be very afraid.

September 21, 2008 - For all those who were dying to know what I've been reading, here are some incoherent thoughts on Isaac Asimov.
September 14, 2008 - Yep, it's that time again. I'm spending all my grocery money on theatre... in particular, on Soulpepper's latest double bill of comedic one-acts. But hey, if I didn't go see plays, what else would I write about in my blog?
September 7, 2008 - Back to school tomorrow, but first, some quality video-game reminiscing. (Notice I didn't say *what* quality...)

July 13, 2008 - Blog Entry 51: In which long-suffering readers of this blog probably ask, if I like Diana Wynne Jones so much, why don't I MARRY her?.
July 6, 2008 - Phew, back to our regularly scheduled blog updates. Yay Toronto Fringe!
July 2, 2008 - When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be a weird blog entry about Sherlock Holmes treasure hunts! Lots of pictures of people dressed funny! Thanks to all who participated!
June 22, 2008 - Just in case you were starting to forget how weird I am, here's a weird blog entry to remind you.

June 8, 2008 - No more pictures! Just random babbling about mystery series for young readers.
June 1, 2008 - I'm back! With an extremely image- and video-heavy blog entry about my travels. So be warned: this is not for the faint of ISP.
May 17, 2008 - As I'm leaving for Copenhagen tomorrow and won't be around to post for basically another two weeks, I thought I'd leave you with this semi-review of Prince Caspian, semi-self-indulgent whining about being ashamed that I enjoy stories I find ideologically repulsive. It's all right here in the blog!
May 13, 2008 - I warned you this week's blog entry would be late. At least my camera batteries didn't die!
May 4, 2008 - Blog entry is up. Updates will be somewhat sporadic over the next couple of weeks, since I'll be on vacation/travelling... but, when I DO update, there'll be pictures! Er, unless my camera batteries die again.

April 6, 2008 - Books I really, really like except for just one thing spur the most interesting blog entries. Also, it's spring! Also, all the deprecated HTML tags are gone, but you probably can't tell. I hope.
March 30, 2008 - March is going out like a lion... a lion that blows *really* chilly breezes through my windows all night. Ah well. So. Blog.
March 23, 2008 - Wow, is it really the 23rd already? Geez... well, I guess there's nothing to do but blog about entertainment vs. intellectual gain in storytelling.
March 16 [technically], 2008 - At last, my site is complete again! And just to put the cherry on top, here's a blog entry about a talk I went to go see. What's that? No, of course I don't need more sleep. Why do you ask?
March 14, 2008 - Happy pi day! Go on, have a slicker website design to go with it.
March 9, 2008 - OK, doing better on the sort-of redesign. Also have a somewhat late blog entry.
March 2, 2008 - Hmmm, this website redesign might take me longer than I thought. Stupid grad school, wanting me to work on "term papers" again. Anyhow, here's a very short, illustrated account of my trip to NYC.
February 22, 2008 - Since I'm headed out to NYC for the weekend, new blog entry today. Hooray! Also, see large text above.

January 27, 2008 - Sometimes I read books. And then write about them in my blog.
January 20, 2008 - When the apple I picked up smells alcoholic, maybe I should go find another fruit to eat with my breakfast. Or just procrastinate by posting a blog entry.
January 13, 2008 - A late, but great blog entry. Well, not that late. But I go to bed early, okay?
January 6, 2008 - It's going to take me a long time to remember to type "2008" on the first try. Anyway, here's a book review blog entry. Yay!
December 31, 2007 - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Happy New Year!
December 23, 2007 - Happy holidays to those who celebrate one; happy statutory holiday to those who don't. Here are tidings of comfort and joy, aka a blog entry.
December 16, 2007 - Brainily babbling blog entry. (If Jeff Lindsay can alliterate, then so can I.)
December 9, 2007 - Happy Chanukah! Well, actually, more like whiny blog-entry Chanukah!
December 1, 2007 - With the price of blog entries what it is, when you get it. If you get it. (Good, you got it.)
November 25, 2007 - A blog entry! Some news! Exclamation points for all!
November 18, 2007 - Guess what I like to do instead of researching my term papers! Write completely UN-researched blog entries about Slytherin, Nazism, and Werner Heisenberg (well... sort of).
November 11, 2007 - How about you write my term paper, and I'll put up a blog entry? Deal? Deal.
November 4, 2007 - Okay, no plays in this blog entry, I promise.
October 28, 2007 - Another day, another play. An even less coherent blog entry.
October 21, 2007 - So the blog entry is a little late today, but that's only because it's really long. And possibly educational. (But I hope not.) Warning: the content of the play I discuss may disturb some.
October 14, 2007 - The suspense is terrible. What can this update possibly be? Not... a new blog entry! AAAARRRRGHHH!!!!
October 7, 2007 - Something familiar, something peculiar. Something for everyone, a blog entry tonight!
September 29, 2007 - Is this the real life? Is it just a new blog entry?
September 22, 2007 - Blog entry: in which the author rambles on about stuff she really knows very little about.
September 16, 2007 - New blog entry on Subjective Guess Who. Also, the archives page is born.
