Per the Wills and Kate debate: yes, losing your anonymity can, in fact, suck

I should be writing a new script. So that I don’t fall behind on my student loans (on can dream, anyway), and so the husband and I can stay fed this summer (the baby, presumably, will have the breast – just like in the “Lady Madonna” song). This naturally means that I am busy participatingContinue reading “Per the Wills and Kate debate: yes, losing your anonymity can, in fact, suck”

Meanwhile, releasing “Citadel”, the THIRD freaking installment in the whole “Burnt by the sun” saga, on May 5, just 4 days before the May 9 Victory Day holidays, is NOTContinue reading “Vladimir Lymaryov from Chelyabinsk: you’re awesome.

Or so the state of Indiana thinks, apparently. The logic is flawless, you guys. Of course, they’re not taking it far enough. Next up: charging babies with manslaughter if the mother dies in labour. Charging fathers with murder if the mother dies in labour. If a pregnant woman gets hit by a car and suffersContinue reading “Bei Bei Shuai: if you’re pregnant and suicidal, then you better damn well succeed at killing yourself!”
