The distinction between poet and show in "Sherlock" is obvious. ![]() Through Tumblr, for a brief period of time, Siken was involved with "Sherlock," another fandom that connects to " Crush." The difference between this and "Supernatural" is that "Supernatural" so closely correlates to " Crush's" themes that people all but insist they are the same work. ![]() In one of his think pieces, Siken spoke in-depth about this movement of fans linking his work to other media, especially "Supernatural." As he puts it, there was "no interaction between poet and show." In an interview discussing this, Siken maintains that both " Crush" and "Supernatural" are "products of a cultural moment, not products of each other." ![]() And for some reason, he still follows me. (He hasn't posted in months, but for some reason, his blog is still up. Last winter, to promote the release of his second book of poetry entitled " War of the Foxes," Siken created a Tumblr blog, posting think pieces on the reception of " Crush" over the past ten years and following blogs with a presence in his own fandom. Of course, Siken's book was accepted for publication before "Supernatural" even aired, but that has not stopped fans from asserting that " Crush" was inspired by the Winchester boys. "Crush" deals with many of the same themes as "Supernatural," including the open road, guns and violence, a pervading sense of danger, and codependent love. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence-when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. America's beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation's birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America's survival in the hands of George Washington. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At the same time he dropped the hyphen, which he regarded as a product of snobbery this was a matter of usage and did not involve a legal name change. Day Lewis came to dislike his conspicuously middle-class first name and never used it in public after 1927.

Shane’s IV bag tumbled down to his knees, bobbing on its rubber line. “Come on!” Looping one of Shane’s arms over his neck, he hauled him off the gurney. ![]() But a quick check of her showed her still pale and distracted. Your friend is packed with solid muscle, Farrin had said. If Jason had been a woman, he would’ve been impressed. Jason stumbled backward, the hospital gown in his hands, leaving a naked and pissed-looking Shane on the gurney. Hurrying over to Shane, he grabbed two fistfuls of the man’s hospital gown, yanking so hard to get him up, the ties snapped off the back of the gown and the material tore away. Shelves on one side and-yes!-closet space for white lab coats on the other. He raced to the cabinet and wrenched open the double doors. His vision fell on a six-foot-tall cabinet pushed against the wall at the end of one row of beds and set next to a crude nurse’s station. “We need to hide, then get the hell out of here.” As soon as fifty backs are turned. “Besides, there are too many tangoes.” Who would cover the space between the front gate and this medical tent in about three minutes. “With you still seeing cross-eyed?
