I've just received some books that I ordered on Thursday, sure beats ordering them in to the bookshop! I'm also currently winning an auction for the season of Smallville that is currently showing here (four, we're a bit behind). Sometimes it takes a bit of trawling through cdrap to find some...

There is a book on my TBR list about robots, having not read it I don't know if it's any good, but it sounds funny! It's called "How To Survive A Robot Uprising" by Daniel H. Wilson

When I first moved into the halls of residence at my uni, we had a huge problem with ants. You couldn't even leave out a glass that once had Coke in it and been washed! Anyway, being summer, I would leave a bottle of water beside my bed for when I got really hot. One morning I took a swig, and...

Do you ever get really random and freakishly kinda-psychic things happen to you? Sometimes I'm reading a particular word and someone will say it at the same time, or I'll think about an episode of a show or a song and it will come on the TV or radio. The other night, I was reading some...

Do you know of anyone that the lazy one hates? You could take a fake phone call and then rush into the room and say "Guess what! Such-and-such is coming to stay for two whole weeks. She needs somewhere to rest with her broken leg, so the two of you can hang out on the couch!" If she's as...

Ooohh, yeah! My others include: Best In Show About A Boy Bridget Jones' Diary Legally Blonde Dogma Groundhog Day :) Mallrats, Clerks etc Edward Scissorhands LOTR trilogy Fight Club The Birds Rear Window Ah, there are many others.

"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill." - Barbara Tuchman A wonderful thing about a book, in contrast to a computer screen, is that you can take it to bed with you. - Daniel...

I don't have children either, but I remember that when I was little we lived in a rural area and would have to go into the nearby town to do our shopping. Mum always used to say "If we get time, we'll pop into the library and we can all choose a couple of books!" I was always excited because...

I find that I'm able to concentrate as ong as the noise is consistent. If someone is vacuuming in another room, it's okay as long as it doesn't stop and start. I agree, conversations on the bus are a killer though. No matter how much I try, I listen to everything people say!! It's really...

Jumping on the bandwagon is: Amy Female 22 in a couple of weeks (sob)

Being a King fan, I'm biased:) I think you need to consider how long they have been writing and what sort of books they write. Romance writers are expected to churn out more than a book a year (I don't know if they're any good, I've never read any). A writer may go through several stages in...

Jealous-much!! Their shows sold out before I could afford them:( Well, since I've moved back in with the folks, and they live 2 hours from the city, the last show I went to was the Falls Festival, and the next show I go to will probably be the next Falls Festival! Sigh...I can't wait to move...

George Bush, or, if I was constrained geographically, his girlfriend John Howard. Q: what is your favourite type of cake?

Comedians (of an Aussie flavour) to avoid: Wil Anderson Dave Hughes (get some new material Hughesy) Rodney Rude Nick Giannopoulos Thumbs up to: The Working Dog team Tripod Judith Lucy Adam Hills Mick Molloy Chris Lilley

Samerron, I'm with you. I got FFX for my 18th b'day a few years back, and ended up with a bad back from lounging in a bean-bag in front of the telly for ten hours a day!!! The FF series is not good for your social life or health. FF8 is my fave, haven't played 7 or 9, FFX-2 was a bit weird. I...

The limerick packs laughs anatomical Into space that is quite economical. But the good ones I've seen So seldom are clean And the clean ones so seldom are comical. -- Vyvyan Holland

Ah, trick question! The answer is...neither. One promotes eating disorders and an unrealistic feminine ideal, the other promotes war, global segregation and a fear and lack of understanding of other cultures. Q. How do you eat your porridge?

It depends on the focus of your book, e.g. if you were planning to write children's or teenage fiction, or adult fiction, or non-fiction. I would like to see more books written for children and teenagers on their responsibility to the environment and how their actions and the actions of...

Okay, that scares the hell out of me!! Yet I find it fascinating at the same time. I'm re-watching "Stephen Hawking's Universe" for the millionth time as I type. I was watching one of the episodes last night, then went to bed and dreamt of the earth being pounded by tiny but (obviously) deadly...
