Have been picking up an oldies station on 980 or 990 lately.
Heather Wade seems like she could be a good replacement for Art Bell if he decided to continue "Midnight In the Desert" after all.
Glad Dean Johnson is back on WBZ over the holidays.
Man, Much has really gone downhill.
Enjoyed the article about the early pjs on YTV that appeared in Torontoist.

GOD'S GLASS: A NOVEL
I was sent a copy of this book by the author to review. I read the first three chapters several months ago and had intended to finish the book. Now, however, I have decided to write this review without doing so.
I so wanted to like this book because it is a novel that takes on a subject which needs to be explored: a Christian girl who discovers she is into masochism. However, I just could not make myself continue to read the book for a few reasons.
First, I have no idea where this book is set, something I should know after reading the first three chapters of a novel.
Second, as well within the first three chapters, I should have at least a bit of background information why the main character sees the world in gray and is unable to feel or enjoy anything on an emotional level unless she is experiencing pain, something else the part of the book I read doesn't contain.
Third, the family in this book are Presbyterian. Though I haven't known an enormous number of Presbyterians, those I have known, though some of them are pretty straight-laced, are pretty good, reasonable people, whereas the family in this book, especially the father, acts like some fundamentalist snake handling family from a Hollywood movie.
As I said, this book takes on a subject that needs dealing with in Christian fiction. Aditionally, the main characters voice as a ten year old girl really comes through. These, though, are the only good things I can say about this book.
If anyone has written or knows of another novel which explores this or similar subjects from a Christian perspective, please email me at the address listed on my profile.
In order to fulfill my obligations as reviewer, here is a link where the book can be purchased.

What happened to WBZ's Dean Johnson?
Speaking of WBZ, I do not approve of what Morgan did last night. The lady was supposed to sing the entire jingle all the way through. It's Mel's game. Morgnan may be the host, but he can't step all over Mel's rules for the audio clip trivia quiz.
Tuned into VOWR online the other week and it sounded like an interesting station. Most of the songs (mainly oldies) they were playing I had never heard before.
Nice going Bell Media and all you other big media companies that have been firing people recently. This industry literally gets worse by the week.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
The main thing about this movie, besides all the disinformation about demons and such, is that Hollywood tries to give certain films a low-budget feel, but they always end up coming off as big budget Hollywood pictures anyway. Some really good acting, though.
