Why Ru Paul’s Drag Race is Good for our Home

March 30, 2016 by Leslie Anderson

Every March, our house becomes nearly spotless. If you think this is the work of spring cleaning, you’re wrong.

March brings us the bounty that is RuPaul’s Drag Race and, frankly, I’m addicted. Being addicted, however, does nothing to combat my inability to sit still and watch TV. Thus, every Tuesday and Wednesday, I clean while catching up with both the main show and Untucked. Suddenly the kitchen is clean, the laundry is washed and put away, and the floors are vacuumed. It’s like magic.

Thanks, Ru!

The Emperor’s Blades by Brian Staveley
What does political intrigue, brutal murder, and a bully all have in common? As you might expect, they all play heavily in The Emperor’s Blades. Aside from that, they’re all elements of fiction that I generally dislike. And yet I liked The Emperor’s Blades. Not despite these elements, but rather, for the most part, because of them.
