Its been out a year, but I've finally seen it... OK, now I've seen the movie. Pardon me while I rant... I have to say that overall I really appreciate the great lengths to which the director went in order to stay true to the story. However, watchers are deprived of a good deal of action...

I agree, its easier to buy them than to find time to read them. I have become pretty cautious where I put my book money these days. Its pretty tough for me to decide to start buying a new author. The last one I bought was Terry Pratchett and although there are some that will probably disagree...

Yep, Dawn those computer games are a good way to kill a gray day. Especially if you really get into it. I got one of the Age of Empires games one year and played it for most of a week. Easy to do--till your eyes pop out. Then everything is gray with rainbows and sound-effects you can't get...

Ell started a good thread about post Summer blues. I thought I ask the same sort of question about Winter. Even though we are still having some great weather right now, its just a nasty gray color outside. Depressing, really, no matter how many lights you turn on in the house (and...
