Entertainment > TV Show Reviews Which Joss Whedon TV series was better: Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel?: 1 of 22

I believe that Joss Wheden put more love behind "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" than he did "Angel". The show spawned from the belief that Whedon could redeem himself from the movie "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" he wrote in 1992, starring Kristy Swanson. While I personally thought the movie was fun, Whedon felt that his script was ...

Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: A rendezvous one evening at a cafe in Paris: 2 of 22

Everything about the evening was just right. The stars twinkled like little night lights in the sky, the temperature felt like a light sheet of silk on the skin, and Claude and Constance were in love.

"Call the next pair of villagers!" King Haeden shouted. Moments later, a stout middle-aged man and his plump wife entered. They bowed to the King and Queen, as all loyal subjects must do.

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: What my dog means to me: 40 of 393

About a year ago, I lost three cats and my dog, Shep, all within six months of each other. That in itself was heartbreaking. Pets are like family, after all. Especially dogs. They are there for you when no one else is. Dogs are the definition of unconditional love. When this piled on top of the fact that I got into a car acc...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Girls night out: 2 of 18

I come home from work on a Friday night and fling my body onto the couch. It has been one loooooooooong week, and I haven't heard from any of my friends for two weeks now.

Many people believe that an Agnostic is the same thing as an Atheist. However, this is not the case. While an Atheist rejects all aspects of a God, Agnostics are more open. They are not sure if there is a God, and believe that there is no way of knowing the truth until the black veil is dropped. One might think that being an...
