I love how tame they make it all seem as T. Rex appears on Top of the Pops to sing “Get It On.” I presume it was 1971, as that’s when the song was released, and the ’60s do not seem over, based on their clothes. I do wish that still counted as sophisticated dancing — just kind of bopping up and down.

If I understand the platform correctly, the Republican platform — or at least the more conservative Republican platform — is: “Government cannot be helpful in solving problems, so watch while I demonstrate.”

I found The Hunger Games — the first book, that is — imperfect yet intriguing. That is also how I describe myself on my better days. The characters Suzanne Collins created were compelling enough for me to want to keep going with the trilogy, as opposed, in contrast, to the relative lack of curiosity I experienced after finishing the first Twilight book. I just finished the second Hunger Games book, Catching Fire, and it was entertaining, albeit not as much of a page-turner as the first one. Here are some reactions, written for those who have already read the book themselves.
