Considering my future, I'm curious about what the odds are for having a good boss... :rolleyes: There are four options: Your boss is a bad boss, i.e. bad when it comes to planning, personnel relations etc, and also bad at the job, i.e. bad at the business your company does; Your boss is a bad...

Sheena is a punk rocker

Thanks again for tips! I've come across Gagliani's book before, and now it seems it's coming out in paperback, so I'll keep my eyes open. I'm putting the other ones on my list as well (am checking up on the Atwater-Rhodes bandwagon ;) ), but as always, there's the issue of finding the things...

One of my favourites; my own translation from a song by Swedish legend Evert Taube: " 'I am from San Francisco,' said the girl, 'and that's why I'm so good at mountain climbing.'" :D *mrkgnao*

Yeah, and then I had my kitty fixed :cool: ;) According to Wikipedia, Sounds nice, at least that bit :D SFG: Oddly, I hate cigarrettes and like the smell of cigars... ;) So I take that as a well-wishing *mrkgnao*

That's the highest grade of language knowledge, isn't it? asks my inner postmodernist ;) That's the whole point, right? :D ;) Me, I speak Swedish, English and gibberish, and I can get by in German (barely) and French (my pronunciation is better than my comprehension and grammar), and I...

Congrats under the slogan of "Better late than never"! ;) Spending the day with books and in bookstores sounded like the perfect b-day! *mrkgnao*

Belated Happy Birthday!! Ain't May a great month for it? :D *mrkgnao*

Belated thanks to everybody!! Ds: couldn't we get all the cat people here to get their cats to sing for me? I tried to get mine to do it, but she was above such things...:rolleyes: *mrkgnao*

In The Gunslinger, Roland's hat is said to be as gone as his horn. But now in The waste lands, he's taking his hat off for a polite greeting. Who's missed something - me or Stephen? :rolleyes: *mrkgnao*

I loved this book as much as pink shadow did - we both get all dreamy eyed when people ask us if it's good. :rolleyes: If the language is Dickensian, the story is Gaimanesque, and I loved both aspects. I loved the alternate history, the uses of magic, the trips to Faerie, the hints about The...

Thankee-sai! *bows* :D I will certainly enjoy my birthday, just as soon as I get away from work. Btw, I'm a Ms, not a Mr - the name is, as Kookamoor found, the sound a cat makes, as transcribed by James Joyce (quote found in my profile). Accordingly, I don't pronounce it, but my cat does. ;)

I use dogears. They never fall out! :) I have a large collection of cool and beautiful bookmarks, but when you drag your books around with you as much as I do, they don't like to stay where they're put. I only use them on borrowed books. And truly, all books should have the "built-in" silk...

Since I saw Vanishing Point, I want a white Dodge Challenger :cool: But I could live with a Jaguar or a Mustang too ;) *mrkgnao*

In the fiction department, I'd suggest Umberto Eco (speaking of Foucault... but his is another Foucault), James Joyce (you have to either think or give up), Georges Perec (especially A void), Thomas Pynchon, Italo Calvino, Salman Rushdie... and if you want some much lighter brain teasing, Jasper...

I happen to know pink shadow loooved this book, I'm betting she'll answer this thread. I can say that on her recommendation, I'll go out and buy it as soon as I don't get it for my birthday ;) *mrkgnao*

Yup, we have the same evil eye, that come'n'get it attitude... we're birds of a feather, really. Guess that's why we cuddle'n'fight... :rolleyes:

In the jocular spirit of the day... :cool: Those who jump off a bridge in Paris are in Seine. A backward poet writes inverse. A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. Dijon vu - the same mustard as before. Practice safe eating - always use condiments. Shotgun...

I'd be outdoors - it's the first real day of summer, and it's only May 6th! But here is where I'd always rather be: *mrkgnao*

I think it's great all you guys could get together for a group photo!:D Here's me: *mrkgnao*
