I love books, music, photography and ideas. I live in and love Louisville. I think a lot about goodness, kindness and ethics. And I'm tragically earnest.
I feel like I should be listening to Taylor Swift on Rdio just to troll Spotify users.
Oh yeah, the voting place was also a large Lutheran church. In the back, with no real signage for how to get to the big gymnasium as you walk through the Christ-filled halls.

Although this is a dreadful novel, it has to be said that the earnestness with which Rice continues to toil at her brand of pop sorcery has an odd, retro sort of charm, an aura redolent of the desperate, decadent silliness of the disco era. “Prince Lestat” has nothing to do with horror and even less to do with the Romantic literature Rice tries to... - http://michellej.tumblr.com/post...
