I Look Into My Glass I look into my glass, And view my wasting skin, And say, "Would God it came to pass My heart had shrunk as thin!" For then, I, undistrest By hearts grown cold to me, Could lonely wait my endless rest With equanimity. But Time, to make me grieve, Part steals, lets part...

I thought Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was merely okay. I also didn't like The Help or The Corrections. I also don't care for Jane Austen. 0.O

Yeah, that's a great moment, one of the best from season 1. I love the contrast of Walt's tragically easy transition to evil with Jesse's sloooowww crawl to redemption. Just wait 'till you get to season 2 and they introduce Gus Fring! :)

USA! USA! :D Honestly, I don't mind the nutritional/calorie info on menus. It can be pretty helpful. Banning the Big Gulp altogether feels pushy and I'm not sure how productive it really is. I tend to think being active is the thing they need to concentrate on, but anyway...

I did like that, at its core, Fountainhead is about a man struggling to keep his artistic integrity. It's pretty mean-spirited and nasty in parts though, which I guess you know you're going to get with Rand but anyway...I don't think it gets as bogged down in text as AS, but I've only seen...
