    Songs Stuck In Your Head

    One of the more frightening things I have heard on TBF. :) That stupid song from "Driveshaft" on Lost is burning into my skull. "You all everybody" over and over again. Maybe even ABBA would be an upgrade. Then again . . .

    First book you ever read?

    The first one I can remember was A Wrinkle in Time. I think I was in the third grade. I'm sure I didn't get most of it. The apocryphal story of my first reading took place in a public restroom with my grandfather when I started to read the grafitti on the walls (I was 3). Apparently, some of...

    What is the longest book/work you've ever read?

    My Bible (1063 pages) loses out (in terms of length) to Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard (1066) and Les Miserables (my translation is 1374).

    is terry brooks ,or isaac asimov any good?

    I'm rolling through Asmiov's Foundation Series now and they are pretty good. His stuff is smart, but doesn't get so bogged down in the science that you get bored or lose your way. Having read a lot of sci-fi, I would agree with what Kook said about them being a good entry into the genre.

    Who Had the Best New Years Fireworks Display?

    No fireworks here. Drought + 50mph winds = ban on all things potentially flammable. So my vote would have to be, anywhere else.

    Napoleon Dynamite

    The key to the film is to not watch it alone. I went with four other guys to see in in the theater and there were three others in the same movie, all who came by themselves. By the end of the first 45 minutes, all of the solo watchers had left. The five of us howled all the way through it. One...

    the GRE

    It went very well. And I am more than glad it's over. Now I just need to get to my requisite shmoozing. The department is pretty competitive so the key is a combination of scores and relationships. Time to pull the clubs out of the garage. btw - thanks to all for the well wishes and good...
