I have never walked out of a movie, but came awful close once. My brother and I saw "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" and almost walked.

No. And I won't when it comes to that time. My son is only three weeks old but already I have been looking into BOOKS ;) that will do the same thing as those videos. And I will be sitting in a chair with my son and read them with him. (Obviously I will be reading them to him at first.)...

Wow! That bad Peder? Stewart had it on his list, too. And I was thinking about reading it soon. Even suggested it for a Book Club I belong to. I might re-think that.

Surprised to see "Perdido Street Station" on a list. But then again if we all had the same taste it would be boring around here. ;) My addition to the list would be "Black" by Ted Dekker. It is the first book of a trilogy. It actually started the second book ("Red"), but it only got worse.

Here is my list for 2005. 1. “Liveship Traders” trilogy by Robin Hobb 2. “Middlesex” by Jeffrey Eugenides 3. “The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque” by Jeffrey Ford 4. “Jennifer Government” by Max Berry 5. “The Shadow of the Wind” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, translated by Lucia Graves 6. “The Virgin...

I didn't follow F1 this year, but I read an article online (I believe at TSN's site) that a publication had a vote from it's readers and chose Kimi as "Driver of the Year" over Alonso. I plan on watching it next year. It was nice to see someone other then Schumacher win the title. Though I...

Been a while since I followed it. The last year I was serious was the second of Schumacher's Ferrari titles. Seems to be interesting that BMW is going out on their own. Who's supplying engines for Williams now? (And yes, I think Jacques is a good pick for anyone putting together a team.)

Yes, it is a nice site. Not mine though. It is the brain child of Clark (Yzerfan19 in the forums). I am just a contributor for some articles.

Yeah, I saw it live. Was watching the game courtesy Center Ice. It was freakin' scary. Didn't know who it was, or even if it was a player. When they were showing them performing CPR, you could see a red jersey, but of course it could have been a fan that fell. The good thing was that the...

Just dumb luck that I knew it. A friend had that on their Christmas gift suggestion list. Glad I could help.

Could it be Frank McCourt "Teacher Man: A Memoir"?

The one Christmas that sticks out in my mind first was actually a Christmas Eve. This was when I was still living at home, just before moving out (I had to have been 21-22), and both my younger brothers and younger sister were still at home. We didn't do anything special that year like we...

I have never read Garth Nix, but I know that many adults enjoy his work. Given that Nix and the HP books are not traditional fantasy, I would suggest "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. Even "Stardust" by Gaiman. Though I am not sure about language, meaning swearing. I know the f-bomb, though...

Yes, actually I did miss the last two periods and OT. I cover some of the Red Wings games for a web site, so I was watching them look terrible against the Flames last night. The Flyers are still looking strong. Hard to defend against opening up the offense like that (being that in the old...

Funny, but I only saw the last 3 minutes of that game. We had our book club discussion that night, and then turned the game on to see the score. Very cool way to end the night.

Good timing Moto. I saw him come in, too. So we have our first major trade of the season. Or I should say "in-season." Sergei Fedorov has been traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Good move for the Jackets. They need the offensive help, even if Fedorov doesn't produce like he used to.

Catered in Mexican, oh yeah! My wife would love that. :) But seriously, what I meant by that was people just stopping by to say hi or spend time with us. I am not making any qualms about the fact that we are not doing anything fancy for the holidays. The people that we usually get gifts...

Well, my wife was originally due to deliver on December 16th, so we didn't make any plans. We usually go to see my family and leave the day after Christmas (10 hour drive), while spending Christmas with her family. But this year we are staying put. Everyone is coming to see us. :p The good...

I have only read Coover's "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop.". Being a baseball fan, and one that in my youth had dice games of the sport, and even participate in fantasy leagues, it was pretty good. It had a strong start and was well paced, but at the end it got...

I'll have to keep this one in mind when my son gets old enough. Thanks for the suggestion.
