My parents told me nothing. However, they also did not censor my reading or movie watching, so I was very well informed. Also, my school district was especially informative, especially considering how rural the town I grew up in is. We had the 4th grade "girls talk" with movie featuring the...

Same here. I had one person touch my hair, and then get all pissy when they were allergic to my shampoo. Like I ASKED her to touch my hair. I hate the huggers, too. I have some clients who are huggers. I had one guy who said, "It's nice to meet you" while giving me a big ole hug. I...

MMM, Tex-Mex. Enchiladas with lots of cheese, mexican rice, refried beans, tamales, tortilla chips with queso. Or the slightly different variety, taquerias. Tacos and tortas (a sandwich with sour cream and avocado), expecially the pastor ones, porky goodness with onions and cilantro.

Thank you everybody! I was still in birthday recovery so I haven't been around to check in.

Easter = Cadbury Eggs. Now THAT's worth celebrating. :D

I know it's a movie and not a book (maybe it was a book first? I don't know) but I hated the ending of The Piano. If the movie had ended with it would've made sense to me, instead of the tacked-on change of direction.

Does Zaphod have 2 heads yet?

Entertainment Weekly reviews 4 chick lit books about once a month. You might check that out, they always sound interesting. Also, harlequin publishes 2 books a month under its Red Dress Ink line.

I was amazed that they could make anything more over the top than the musical, but lots of close up reaction shots will do that. The actress was adorable.

I was never good at the penpal thing, but I love instant messenger now. Takes all the work out of it, and I have deeper conversations that way, even with some people I regularly see face to face.

It's hard to define a classic since even the critics have different criteria, but it's definitely a book that has stood the test of time and appeals to audiences that are in a different century or culture. It has a universal theme and originality and strong, beautiful language. Where most...

I'm interested, have you read his non-fiction? If so, what did you think of it?

I really like books that take me to Egypt. Right now I'm reading Princes of Ireland by Rutherfurd, and really, the setting is the point of the book. I wouldn't want every book to be that way, though.

A big thumbs up to the Kinky Friedman reference. He's just funny, whether writing detective stories, country song lyrics, or great articles (for Texas Monthly.) He's also running for governor here. I'll definitely be voting for him.

Jude the Obscure Lord Jim Moby Dick Last of the Mohicans Just some of the many assigned books I did not manage to read.

Another one I missed! Happy Birthday :)

Hmm. I think I have a British smile. But I have so many variations, which one would they pick?

I agree with "Say Goodbye", I love that one. I was about to pick Sting, either "All this time" or "Why Should I Cry for you" but I'll pick the Barenaked Ladies, Pinch Me, as it's what I've been listening to lately (Also, I already have it stored on my computer): It's the perfect time of year...

Did I miss it? :( Hope it was extra special wonderful.

Yoga, when I can get motivated. And a treadmill, which is boring but effective. I need to stay thin so I can spend money on books instead of new, bigger clothes.
