Review: Fool Moon by Jim Butcher - The Dresden Files book 2

I finished Fool Moon last night and loved every minute of reading this story. I'm a fan of werewolves, so the different kinds used and the different ways they changed, were all very coo!!!.

Dresden's wit and snark in the dialogue is great. As a character, he comes off as how someone would really act in the supernatural and mystical situations he gets into.

I also love that these books are all in first person, which is my favorite point of view to read (and write). This one was a great urban fantasy page turner.

Also... Dresden on the cover looks like a friend of mine in New Orleans. He's a script writer and actor too so... If they should ever get the new TV series off the ground, he'd be a perfect Dresden.

2021 completion book count: 1

The Podcasting Phenomenon

Image
I like a good Podcast. My regulars will be linked below, but for now, for most part I like listening to authors and writers being interviewed or telling their stories. I also like some of these where a celebrity interviews other celebrities. Generally, I listen to podcasts to and from work on the dreaded commute. It beats having to hear the same 10 songs played endlessly on the radio. Podcasting is becoming a bit of a phenomenon in that everyone is doing it now. It seems being a YouTube star was saturated so the next move was over to pure audio. I mean, why be bothered with having to watch something when you can just listen to it and do other things, right? Just like with YouTube though, you have to find the shows that offer up something. Most of the really good podcasting shows have a singular point of view. Such as Author Stories by Hank Garner which is just about interviewing authors and writers. Then you have The No Pants Cocktail Hour with Jeff Somer s, who is an author,

I miss Tower Records

I'm not going to lie, in the decade before Tower Records closed down, I had probably gone into the Atlanta store only a handful of times. MP3 and digital was the way to get music and that was just more exciting and accessible. However, thinking back on the old Gen X days and the great 90's, it was the experience of going to Tower Records that I really miss. There was an excitement to it that no music streaming service will ever be able to to replicate. This was especially true on new release Tuesdays. That meant heading down to Tower Monday night, usually around 9 or 10 pm and then hanging out until 12 am to get the new release first. Back then, it felt like winning a competition by being the first person to get a new release and check it out on the drive back home. That meant, the next day you would be able to talk about it with your friends, who more than likely, went with you to pick it up too. Also funny when looking back on it, I used to see the people who worke

The Great Mask Gambit

Image
I think the "mask up" thing is funny. When we go to the grocery store and "have to mask up" because this is dumb science which is not science at all. Anyway... Pushing the cart through the aisle and I pass a woman, only to get a massive whiff of perfume. If you can smell the perfume through the mask, then any virus particles are coming right through too. All the mask is, is a placebo effect for people not so keen on science and those who need an excuse to keep living and going out because the media has scared them so badly. Perfume particles are between 30 and 150 micrometers in diameter. Virus particles are between about 20 to 400 nanometers in diameter. 1 micrometer = 1000 nanometers. What does that mean? It means that if perfume particles are getting through to you (they're bigger than virus particles), then virus particles are also getting through. An 80+ year old dude went to visit his wife in the hospital before she passed away from Covid-19 and he had 2 m
