Lol, what a huge question! With the comics and the books, there are conflicts and contradictions, sure. Only George Lucas can establish what is canon and what isn't, that makes for some difficulties. I've never been that interested in the future, so I've read mostly stuff that...

I'm not sure if it fits, but it's damned hard to find Richard Adams "Maia" and "Shardik" in every bookstore I've been in over the past few years.

This is how it should have been from the start. Dan Brown's writing is just no good. . . . The DaVinci code should have gone straight to a screenplay IMHO. That resolves many, if not most of the problems I had with the novel. Spitting on apple pie? Not here, not where I live. We have this...

You only see Jar Jar for about five minutes. And you get to see Wookies again! That made me smile and laugh and tear up honestly. I like Natalie Portman, and I think she's beautiful, no doubt, but on the "looking off" thing. . . Did anyone ever see "The Professional" where she's a...

I saw Revenge of the Sith night before last. I found it incredibly rewarding and a very nice surprise after Eppies 1 and 2 were so dissappointing. Can't wait to hear everyone else's thoughts. Spoiler free: Hayden Christansen turned it around big time IMHO. Angsty still, of course, but...

It's by no means original or brilliant, but I had Tana and Kendra pegged for a showdown since the first corporate reshuffle. The thing is, Tana showed she's just not a good comprehensive manager in this final task. She also, unfortuanatley, showed she wasn't nearly as nice a person as I...

Are you looking for a fictional book in the vein of being philosophical or are you looking for academic work? The latter is naturally going to be kind of dry but if that's what you're looking for, I'd simply get a "Dummies Guide to Philosophy" type of book to start with. That's not meant...

Ugh, I'm never sure if I am going to be able to word something like this right! First, I by no means think that depressed or suicidal persons are more creative than anyone else. But what I do think is that to be a creative person and put your work out there is so immensely personal...

I've never really needed a bookmark, even though lots of people have given me pretty ones since they know how much I enjoy reading. It's never been a problem for me to open a book and easily flip it right back to where I was reading it last. I don't think about it or plan how to do it, I...

Word Martinizzle. My head is spinizzlin wit dis new talk. Hollaback, hollafront, who gonna holla at dat ho anyway, you know wat I'm sayin? Lookin all hooch in her outfits. . . bunch of scrubs maybe. She aint nuttin. She can schnizzle my dizzle wit her nasty self. But is all good aight...

I'm not sure if this should go in work or here. Okay, tonight, I have a guy who keeps asking the same question and phrasing it differently. Can he get a discount? I keep telling him no while I'm checking him in. Finally, he says real nasty like "What I'm ASKING is, CAN YOU GIVE ME A...

Good distinction to make Kookamoor. I'm not certain of this Jenn, of course, how could I be, not knowing your sister in law? But there's a general phenomena to our information chock world where people hear or learn of a theory and then totally missapply it; and this sounds like that to me...

Best Week Ever on VH-1 nominated last week the best week ever for Paris Hilton haters because of her dying in House of Wax. But country singer Kenny Chesney won it for getting Rene Zellwegger to the altar instead. Is that an "Only in America" qualifying event? Having a whole hour long show...

I am so glad Tom won. But he deserved it. He wasn't squeamish about how much "integrity" he had, he played hard, but yet, the way he played was better than integrity IMHO, he played with grace and tact. No one except Coby, who already had his own issues motivating him, can say that Tom was...

1-10 80's pop from one older sister, 80's country from another, 80's rock from older brother, country from father, early rock and roll and generally not to heavy rock from mother 10-14 Buttrock, some metal, fave band from this period had to be GNR whatever you might label them 14-18 Grunge...

newbie here on board isolated from drama not much else to say flaming everywhere I have no history here no info or guide confused and alone I lack an identity no clique has claimed me what should I do here? shut up? or comment freely? return to old board? but I keep trying...

Elliot, it does have some advantages. . . But here are the problems I have with it. I'm a desk clerk in a hotel BTW, and used to be a night auditor (doing the daily bookeeping). Now at night, it wasn't hard to accept inactivity, I only had one coworker, who was a security guard/courtesy...

I'm reading "What's the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America" now, by Thomas Frank. It's slow going though. I've thrown the book a few times, sometimes just set it aside and picked up some old reliable fiction to reread instead. It's a downer, but really...

Oh awesome! Thanks so much, that was driving me crazy.

I've been a professional nanny and done a fair bit of babysitting. Maybe it's my attitude, or maybe I was lucky with the parents I encountered, but I've never had any problems or second thoughts about just doing it [restraining or seperating children using my physical body]. I mean, I look...
