    :D I know what you mean! I looked it up after seeing the film and read a few pages online before ordering it. I'm really looking forward to reading it! I've just started Under the Dome so who knows when that'll be...

    Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed it, although not too much at first. It seemed to end just when things were getting really exciting... Robert Downey Jr. was fabulous as usual, but I think Guy Ritchie has spent too much time in Hollywood. Or maybe he was married to Madonna for too long. Or both. Up...

    4th annual b&r secret santa

    Got it today (10 minutes ago actually). If you ever have to mail anything to Colombia and someone at the post office tells you it'll take 5 to 10 days, please ask them to stop lying to customers. Regular mail from the US to Colombia takes 3 to 6 weeks :D Anyway, I got Umberto Eco's The...

    I just finished reading Andre Agassi's autobiography, Open :stars5: When I started reading it I was a bit worried. I had read so many good reviews that my expectations were very high. I felt like I really really wanted to like this book but what if I didn't? What if I thought it was boring...

    stupidest movie ever

    No weird/crazy Santa movie list would be complete without the French classic "Le père Noël est une ordure". I lived in Paris for 6.5 years, went to grad school there, did job interviews and worked at a translation agency, I can curse, joke, rant, complain and get angry like a true Parisian and...

    Recently Finished

    I finished La reine dans le palais des courants d'air (aka The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest) 2 days ago. I loved it and I'm glad I took my time reading it instead of staying awake the whole weekend like I did with the other two. It's very sad to think that Stieg Larsson will never write...

    Tattoos and Piercings

    Fleur-de-Lys Tribal Scorpion I know it's very tiny but it's the only one I have and I can't take one myself unless I turn into Linda Blair (same goes for the one on my shoulder blade).

    Tattoos and Piercings

    Got another one a couple of months ago so now I have 3. The one on my right shoulder blade is the Kanji for tiger, the one on my lower back is a tribal scorpion and the new one, on my neck behind the left earlobe, is a fleur-de-lys. All three were done in black ink, maybe the next one will have...

    stupidest movie ever

    The Truth About Charlie! I don't know if it's the stupidest movie ever but remaking Charade has got to be one of the dumbest ideas ever. It simply doesn't work, there's no charm, no wit, no elegance, no subtlety, it even manages to make Paris look dull. As for the leads, it'd be unfair to expect...

    Chuck Palahniuk

    I read Survivor, Choke, Lullaby, Invisible Monsters and Fight Club a long time ago (5 or 4 years maybe?) and pretty much one after the other though not in that order. I liked them all but from what I remember, Fight Club was the one I enjoyed the least (no, I haven't seen the film). I recently...
