I enjoy both Hollywood and what you would call "foreign movies". Hollywood flicks are easier to access (prime time on TV, in the theatre, etc.), so I think I'm about 50/50. Stewart, I actually enjoyed the original Taxi.

Thanks ions! I read The Handmaid's Tale when I was thirteen or something and I did like it, but I think maybe now I'll appreciate Atwood's writing in a different way.

I'm staying here until the end of the year (studying at the University of Iceland).

I'm currently reading Oryx & Crake myself and it's really hard to stay away from the spoilers right now. I'm enjoying it so far, so I may be looking into Atwood some more after this.

I'm finally online again. Yay for that!

No, I think that´s my fault. If a moderator would like to change the title?

I just love watching these shows. I´ve seen the Flemish, British and American versions of it and I must say I like the American show best. People are much more interesting in that show, I think. Lots of yelling and such. ;)

Oh, that´s good to know. I read Pillars when I was 14 and while I don´t remember every little thing about this book, I remember I really liked it. Maybe I should read it again and see how it holds up now.

I don't know. I do know Jeeves & Wooster will be available on DVD again soon (in a box, that is).

I'm sure I'm not the only one who was ever drawn to a book because they knew the author through something "unliterary". For example, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who became relatively famous through comedy shows (Jeeves and Wooster, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, etc. and their roles in BlackAdder...

Covers play a huge role in attracting my attention, but I don't base my decision on them.

I do think it's the kind of book you can forget easily when you put it down. I mean, I enjoy myself while I'm reading it, but so far, it hasn't been very plot-driven... It's just a bunch of anecdotes thrown together. They're enjoyable, but you don't feel as if you just have to continue reading...

I think the thread is just right were it is. I for one am not really fond of powerpoint. I have a few professors who use it, but they never use the program creatively, so it doesn't really add anything to a lecture. I think it can indeed be a useful tool (not just powerpoint, any program like...

Let us know when you get to it. ;)

It's very logical though. I keep an online journal myself. It's pretty factual and thus boring.

Ah. I need to start paying attention to the ads on TV and stuff. :)

We only have a small patch of North Sea here, so it's not really an issue. My sister and I did decide to swim to England once when we were younger only to have the coast guard tell us to get back: I guess in hindsight that was good advice, but at the time we were mad because now we'd never...

What exactly is the difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant? I use Axe myself and am very happy with it. (I tried all kinds of brands and smells before settling on this. Damn my armpits!) I know some women that don't shave. They just go to a beautician and have it removed once a...

I'm currently reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. Some other TBF members have already read it or have expressed an interest in reading it, so maybe a discussion would be nice. I'm having fun reading it myself, but I've only made it as far as chapter V, so...

I voted no on the poll myself but was wondering if the forum's staff ever considered this a real possibility?
