Of course, as I said yesterday, the image is free to use, so if you don't want to send me your hard earned money, you can make one of your own. So if you like it, why not grab one and throw a couple of dollars my way? Any money raised, at first, will go towards making more products available through the same store. If you display it, you're not pushing anything other than your own state of mind. That's because "No Small Minds" is not advertising anything it is not selling anything it is not promoting anything other than free thought. You will note that I have not included a website link or any information other than the image itself on the mug. I've started out with a coffee mug for this design for two reasons:ġ) I'm an incurable coffee hound myself and will shortly be drinking my daily fix from one of these.Ģ) Who doesn't need something to drink out of now and again? Even better if you can make a philosophical statement while doing so! Anyone interested in having a "No Small Minds" logo of their own to proudly display and keep the narrow-minded at bay can now purchase one at my CafePress store here. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although the 1958 film version was toned down and suppressed or took out some of what makes 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' so bold and ahead of its time in themes and characterisation, for from my understanding censorship reasons. Not only is the dialogue amazing, but have always found myself fascinated and riveted by the characters, their relationships and how they interact with each other, which is one of the primary reasons as to why Williams was such a great writer. Consider 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' his masterpiece, though there may be some slight bias as it was the play of his that introduced me to him when studying it at school. Have said before that Tennessee Williams is one of the all-time great playwrights. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this section we are looking at various short story writers’ creative impressions of the future.

While book one wasn’t amazing, I had hoped the author would improve as the series moved on. The author has managed to build a detailed society on two planets and created stories of them merging. I was optimistic about this series having potential after I completed book 1. The subplot was a doozy too due to T'Kan's manipulative uncle and the spellbounding political intrigue etc!!!!!Ĭan't wait on book 3 of the Alien Overloads !!!!!!!! ![]() ![]() So I'm assuming more epic sci-fi stories from Taylor Vaughn right? Only time will tell, I guess!!! T'Kan and Zinnia's story was an emotional and memorable journey with past pains, miscommunications and trust issues which left me wondering about the alliances and possibilities of not just the Xalthurians but of the other aliens who needed hu'mans to breed to continue their race. (Poor golden alien couldn't get Zinnia out of his head!) Their story actually takes place around the same time as Kel D'Rek and Kira did in book 1 but as the title suggests, Xar T'Kan literally stole "his treasure" due to the "love disease" and hero's possessive nature towards his one and only. Xar T'Kan and Zinnia's unputdownable, SMEXY read!!! Bow down to authors, Theodora Taylor and Eve Vaughn because illogical becomes logical in "His to Steal!" ![]() |
