SIX OF THE BEST… things about Herman’s Head
With all the positive noise being made about Inside Out (which, sadly, I still haven’t seen), I wanted to take a moment to take you back to the 1990s, to Sunday nights on Fox, to a show about a fact-checker at a magazine headquartered in New York City featuring a white guy in his (probably) late 20s or early 30s.
This, my friends, is six of the best things about Herman’s Head. Spoilers, obviously.

SIX OF THE BEST… reasons I keep coming back to the Anita Blake novels
Whenever I tell people about the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton, I tell them to stop reading after the eighth book — before they get to the muddled middle that was everything from Cerulean Sins through about Hit List. Things started to get better around there, but not as good as the first books.
After finishing Dead Ice, the latest Anita Blake novel, I’m worried that things are backsliding a little.

SIX OF THE BEST… reasons to be a strict parent
I don’t consider my parents as having been strict. I had rules and chores, and they weren’t onerous, but they were things I had to do. I don’t look back on my time as a kid and think “my parents did Thing X and Thing Y wrong, so I have to make it better for my kid by doing it differently.” But if you look at the definition of “strict” as “demanding that rules concerning behavior are obeyed and observed”, then I suppose they were.
