    How's the weather where you live?

    I second that, I love Vegas weather, the heat doesn't bother me. I hate FL weather, the humidity makes my skin all sticky no matter how many showers I've taken.

    Venting...

    I have a cousin who seems to quit every job she ever held in less than a year, the most common complaint is the job is too tiring or works her too hard. She does have a decent education (made it through middle school) and barely speaks English. The jobs she typically gets are either...

    How's the weather where you live?

    The weather doesn't matter since I'm indoor most of the day. I miss the days where I go out and have fun instead of slaving at the job.

    He would have made a fine sidekick of Satan though:p

    Harry Potter Seventh Book Pre-Sales Speculations and Discussions

    well the pattern of the last few books is Harry keep losing someone close to him so I'm going with the pattern. Also they were all family type loved ones, but losing romantic love is a different type of pain that Harry hadn't experience yet. Yeah he pined after Cho Chang, but he didn't exactly...

    Anything is better than another movie with the new Bond. Bring back Pearce!

    Great Books that Should Be Made Into Movies and Which Actors Would You Cast?

    I don't see Jack Nicholson as Satan, he's just not evil looking enough for me. He looks more crazed and would have made a great Hannibal Lecter. Now here's my question, why do we assume Adam and Eve are good looking? If they're so hot, where would the ugly people in the world come from...

    What books have you hated?

    Hate is a strong word, if I dislike a book enough I would simply stop reading. Now humans on the other hand...;)

    Great Books that Should Be Made Into Movies and Which Actors Would You Cast?

    I'm so glad you said Brangelina as pretty faces and not Braniston. I don't find Aniston pretty, always thought she was very plain jane. Also she doesn't have as wide of a range as an actress as Jolie. Say what you will about Jolie and her Billy Bob days, that is one talented actress who has...

    Books you didn't finish

    I finished that book but it wasn't impressed. I also read the sequel to that one, Ashlar. Again I was not impressed. I hadn't been impressed of Rice overall, don't see what the big deal is.

    Well, I was dusting my book shelf last night and I came across Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang. Since there seem to be a big movement of making war movies (Saving Private Ryan) and grotesque torture movies (Hostile) these days I thought they can combine two in one and make a movie about Rape of...

    And yes I think Tom Cruise is an alien because that's what Scientologists believe, that they're alien souls trapped inside a human body (poor Katie Holmes). And I think he's an alien just because nobody on earth can be this insane and yet remain stubbornly popular, there must be some...

    you're just saying Pacino because he played Satan in Devil's Advocate;)

    I agree with Brangelina being Adam and Eve, hee hee it can be art imitate life since she seduced him away from Aniston ;) And honestly, I think they make one heck of a beautiful couple. I can't imagine James Earl Jones as the voice of god, somehow Darth Vader's voice doesn't cut it for me...

    Favorite Off the Wall Authors and their Characters

    I'll definitely check that out, it's right along my alley of fun characters. By the way, regarding books relating to vampirs, Rachel Morgan books by Kim Harrison, really really bad. I had such a hard time finishing just one. I read Every Witch Way But Dead and refuse to read another one by...

    Hi All

    I like dog books but I usually read more instructional type books (like how to teach your dog to sing, or 100 things of emergency dog care you should know, etc.) instead. My all time favorite books on animal has to be the James Herriott series. Every time I read his books I have fantasies...

    Bin Laden is not a son of God and Jesus did not start war on the "infidels". Now what people have done in the name of Christianity is a different story, but Jesus did not preach hate and discrimination. I equate Bin Laden more with Hitler, they share a cult leader like similarity.

    Great Books that Should Be Made Into Movies and Which Actors Would You Cast?

    No I hadn't read Paradise Lost, I was just going with an image of what I have of God and Satan in my head. I like the idea of Satan being a version of everybody's sweet grandpa, but I think the younger version still holds more allure. But then again, I'm sure Satan can shape shift. Tom...

    Great Books that Should Be Made Into Movies and Which Actors Would You Cast?

    Sean Connery is an interesting choice for god, but I think he's a fine actor and he can pull off the role (as long as I can keep my mind off him being a former Bond :p ). I don't think Gary Oldman would make a good Satan, my vision of Satan has always been very attractive, flashy, irresistable...

    Great Books that Should Be Made Into Movies and Which Actors Would You Cast?

    Judging by the time of crap that our libraries are filled with, I doubt the librarians care what they put on the shelf. You're assuming people who does the book ordering really care about the quality of reading material versus doing a job by filling the rooms with what is in the markets. Also...
