Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) The best superpower for a superhero: 5 of 31
There's a lot of choice, when deciding which superpower is the best. Some powers stand out as obvious- the flight and speed of Superman or the agility and flexibility of Spider-man. However I've taken a very different course. Many a rainy afternoon with comic in hand, I have pondered over the pros and cons until I have deeme... More..
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: Irish wakes: 1 of 5
The wind roared around the cliffs, bringing the bitter cold to what was once a warm spring day in Mayo. The single white house, which interrupted the clear, perfect blue sky, was usually filled with people. The McGonigle's home had not entertained guests for some months, being so far out on the cliffs it was hard to reach, e... More..
Arts & Humanities > Literary Themes & Ideas Point of view: Creating a relationship between readers and characters: 6 of 29
In order to write a good story, the author must decide how they want to tell their tale. The narrator is the closest character to the reader and it is from his perspective that the audience experiences the events that unfold. Before beginning the nitty-gritty business of starting the story, the writer must experiment with di... More..
Style & Beauty > Fashion Trends & Styles Is underwear going out of fashion?: 1 of 4
The question "are undergarments becoming obsolete?" is sacrilegious and bra-burning in its highest form! I fervently shout 'No!', undergarments will never become obsolete. I understand that some of the hard partying famous whippersnappers have taken to leaving their delicates in the drawers, as paparazzi pics have captured. ... More..
Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Arrested Development: 3 of 9
Arrested Development was the most underrated TV show I've ever seen. I watched it with the knowledge that THIS was the comedy that was too clever for America. It surprised me. It was cleverly done, it was superbly written but it was not too clever. It had slapstick, dry-humor, irony, satire, and even dressing up. It was a me... More..

Other If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?: 106 of 229
If I had an hour with anyone, it would have to be, the elusive and exclusive, Robert De Niro. De Niro never gives out interviews, unless absolutely vital. Robert De Niro remains the most secretive actors in the film industry. His personal life is kept close to his chest, while his movie career is one of the most celebrated i... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Celebrities in rehab: The new fashion?: 32 of 66
I don't know how anyone else feels, but I'm having a hard time keeping up with who's in rehab, when, where and why. I'm not an avid celebrity follower, but every time I pick up a magazine I read about some twenty-something who's in rehab. These barely-out-of-teens are claiming they have a problem with drink/drugs or are depr... More..

Arts & Humanities > American Authors Author assessment: Dan Brown: 5 of 10
If I could write a one word review for all of Dan Brown's novels, it would be "tripe". It's not the whole 'Jesus had a child and was married to Mary Magdalene' thing. It the poor quality of the novels. Brown switches between chapters that describe objects or places in infinite details to barely paragraph-long chapters. His c... More..
