August 25, 2018 Women and Words: Haikus are awesome?
Women and Words Overview 18-24 August 2018

Haiku (inspired by Ash Bartlett):
Going back to school:
fun, but still kind of scary
for parents like Jove

Andi is getting over a cold, but she persevered! And Jove’s sons are getting ready for school and they’re doing the orientation thing. Back to school time! Also, Jove likes posting lists of possible gifts for book readers/writers. Andi would like a dragon and Jove would like a unicorn, for future reference. Also, Andi and Jove are already planning the Hootenanny and Ash Bartlett has inspired communication via haiku.

August 23, 2018 Thor: Ragnarok
Episode 38: Thor: Ragnarok
Andi and Lise watched (okay, re-watched because they dig this movie) Thor: Ragnarok (2017), part of the Marvel Universe movie, which means it’s a giant bucket of special effects, awesome cinematography, and epic battle scenes. But what this Thor movie brought – and something Andi and Lise totally enjoyed – was a slightly comedic turn amidst the dark subject matter, and we get to see a lighter side of Thor even as he struggles to get back to Asgard before the prophecy of Ragnarök comes to pass in which Asgard is destroyed.
Particular favorites in this film include Cate Blanchett’s amazing turn as Hela, Goddess of Death (seriously, we could watch Blanchett write a grocery list and be enthralled, but her turn as a villain is awesome!); Tessa Thompson as “Scrapper 142”—a Valkyrie, also from Asgard (more movies with her, please); director Taika Waititi voicing Korg, a being made of rocks who is the world’s nicest slacker revolutionary; and Jeff Goldblum as an earnest and “fun-uncle-ish” despot on Sakaar, a planet made of trash.

Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet.
In this episode we hear a reading from Across a Crowded Room by Jane Alden
Synopsis
It’s Christmastime, 1950, in the affluent Manhattan suburb of New Canaan, Connecticut. Bennie Grant is trying to work out an amicable divorce from her controlling, financially successful husband, Will, including shared custody of their eight-year-old daughter. There are several hurdles: Will’s meddling mother, Bennie’s confessed past brief affair with her best friend, Alice, and Will’s strong desire to keep Bennie at any cost.
Bennie’s talent as a stage director and her life-long ambition to direct on Broadway have taken a back seat to her responsibilities as a society wife and mother. After her separation from Will, she takes a position teaching drama at her alma mater, an exclusive girls’ school in New Canaan.
As if things weren’t complicated enough, one evening at the school, she meets new Board member Laura Clayborn, a beautiful, charismatic woman to whom she feels an instant and irresistible attraction.
While Will and his mother push Bennie for reconciliation and threaten a battle for full custody of her child, Bennie is faced with heart-wrenching conflicts among career, family, and her deepening feelings for Laura.
Bennie meets the famous Broadway director, Eva Le Galliene, and becomes her assistant in a Broadway revival of The Children’s Hour. With Laura’s support and a super-competent woman attorney, Bennie faces the ultimate showdown with Will and his mother, Olivia in divorce court.
