La autora de “Secretary”, un texto que pertenece a su primera colección de historias publicada bajo el título Bad Behavior (1988), se convirtió en una película de culto en 2002, bajo el mismo nombre, estelarizada por James Spader como Mr. Grey, Maggie Gyllenhaal como Lee Holloway y Jeremy Davies como Peter, todos bajo la dirección de

You will love “Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According To Kathy Griffin” and here’s why: she’ll make you laugh, she’ll make you cry, and she’ll make you laugh some more… even if you’re not in her core demographic (the gays, fag hags and gurls). For starters, it’s not your typical memoir. If you’re familiar with Kathy’s comedic style (she favors storytelling over one-liners), this book reads just like one of her “specials”. It’s smooth, snarky, totally hilarious, y ultimadamente irreverente. Si Kathy Griffin no tenía pelos en la lengua antes de escribir este libro, ahora menos… dice las cosas al chile y sin miedo de ofender a nadie, not even her family or the oh so high and mighty Oprah.

If you, like many of us, are fed up with the high cost of eating out everyday- which can be seen not only in our decreasing bank accounts but also in our expanding waistline, the reasonable thing to do is ditch them fast food joints and get to cooking. However, cuando no sabes ni papa de cocina, there’s only so much you can do, and honestly, eating half-assed sandwiches everyday is not that healthy either. So, what to do? You can head over to your fave library or bookstore and get yourself a cookbook. Sure, sounds simple and reasonable… not so much when most cookbooks seem to be written by Martha Stewart via Shakespearean idiom. If you want to learn how to cook while keeping it fun and simple, one of the best solutions out there is called “Get In The Kitchen, Bit@hes!”

Even though back in elementary and high school many of us dreaded reading as much as a visit to the dentist, some of us eventually found out that reading for the mere pleasure of reading is not impossible and it’s not something exclusively for nerds and book worms. However, to find a book to spark enough interest to read from beginning til end just because can be a difficult task… after all, with our busy schedules most of us would rather take a nap or catch the latest “Heroes” episode, but alas, we must not entirely kill our brain cells, so reading a book every once in a while nos sirve para despertar a las pocas neuronas que nos quedan, to spark our imagination and build or vocabulary. After re-reading three times all the novels by one of my fave authors, Augusten Burroughs I was about to begin my re-reading session for the fourth time, when I came across “Look Me in the Eye, My Life with Asperger’s”.
