It’s nice to know that I’m reading award winning books. The Lambda Literary Awards were annouced this week and a few books that I’ve read over the past year made the winner’s list.

Friday Geek Out: All That Jazz
Bob Fosse made a movie all about himself with 1979′s All That Jazz. Roy Scheider played director/choreographer/writer Joe Gideon. The parallels to Fosse’s live are unmistakable. Fosse had a heart attack while working on his 1973 film Lenny, which is portrayed here. The stage show Fosse worked on in the same time frame was Chicago, [...]

What’s surprsing is that both games were shutouts: 4-0 on Saturday and 3-0 tonight. The series moves to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and Saturday [...]
A thrilling afternoon at the movies as May Movie Mania continued with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The Detroit Red Wings opened the Stanley Cup Championships at home last night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was a great game as the Red Wings took the series lead 1-0 with a 4-0 victory.
