    M. Night Shyamalan

    I recently watched LitW and, while I did like it, found it nowhere near as enjoyable as his earlier films. The Sixth Sense was fantastic, left me stumbling out of the cinema in a kind of daze, and it is the kind of movie that you (or I, at least) can watch many times and pick up on new things...

    Best SF&F TV Shows

    My votes would be for Smallville and The X-Files (and possibly Lost, does it count as SF or F?). I need a while to think of ten.

    Your Favorite Song by your Favorite Band?

    Tuna in the Brine or After All These Years by silverchair, but that's harking back to high school days. More recent are The Wine Song by The Cat Empire and Peaches and Cream by The John Butler Trio. Gettin' my Aussie pride on :)

    What is Your Library Like? (Contains Images)

    I can't find an image of my local library, but this is the Arts/Humanities library at my uni, where I spent most of my time hiding on the fifth floor.

    LibraryThing

    I may have to cheat and make up another username (Peronel2, perhaps?) so I can get another 200 up. I assume I can do this..... yes I can. EDIT: just realised the pointlessness of this idea. Forget I said anything!

    How should I arrange the books on my new bookshelf?

    I would suggest......vertically. Or, take your cue from High Fidelity and arrange alphabetically, chronologically by release date, or chronologically by date you bought them.

    any tips for creating a story.

    If you really want to cheat, you could try: Seventh Sanctum E-How Story Ideas Those are the first three google hits for 'story ideas'.

    LibraryThing

    What a great idea! It took a lot longer than I thought. Here's mine, not including books that are scattered across the house or textbooks. Hey jayne, we share 14 books. Nice!

    guess what? - I'm new

    Hey luthien! (Loooooove the name - we have an interesting LOTR section here). Hope you have a happy stay at BAR (or TBR, as I stubbornly call it).

    Top 3 Films of 2006

    Little Miss Sunshine is all that comes to mind at the moment. Hilarious and true to life, I felt.

    Number of Browsers in your HD?

    Either you've been very, very lucky, or you have problems that you're unaware of. I'd switch to Firefox, or another highly recommended browser. They're free, and oh so much better for your comp.

    Number of Browsers in your HD?

    I have Firefox 1.5.0.9 - completely awesome, I can't believe I used Internet Explorer (which I also have) for so long. I've heard good things about Opera, but haven't felt the need to change over yet.

    What's your favourite word? And worst?

    Off the top of my head, I like delicious (as pronounced by Buster in AD when he's thinking of an english muffin). Can I say my least favourite word? Please? Surreptitiously . Ironically, I've never seen that word used in a subtle way.

    The Da Vinci Code V.S. Angels and Demons

    Stewart, you getting in on this? Gun to my head, I'd say A&D, possibly because I knew less about the Vatican and related topics than the subject matter of TDVC. But you know,I may just be jabbering because of the gun pointed at my head. I could just as easily say "French toast, please."

    What's the Most You Paid for a Single Book?

    Most of my textbooks fall in the $100 - $120 (Australian) range. Quite a lot to cough up, I think, particularly if you're as half-assed as me and only scan them weeks before exams. Fiction-wise, I don't think I've paid over $10 for quite some time. In fact, the only new books I've boughht in...

    The "Ctrl+V" Game

    I would, but it's an entire Harry Potter fanfic story, so I believe that would waste a fair amount of space.

    Where are you from? and What do you do?

    This reminds me of that bit in "Kindergarten Cop": "Who is your Daddy, and what does he do?". Anyone? Ehhh... I'm from a town about 2 hours south-west of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I'm currently working as a supervisor at a local bakery/cafe, but I'm returning to uni this year to...

    Cheesy movies

    In terms of cheesy action, I don't think you can go past "Snakes on a Plane'. My friends and I watched it the other night, man, it was hilarious. I think it must be in Sam Jackson's contract that he must be allowed to say mother------ at least five times per film. What was even better was the...

    Would You Rather..

    erm....quiet and happy for me thanks. But what if your soulmate was rich and famous....uh oh. Would you rather....... have to sing everything you say for a year or listen to Ween's "Push the little daisy's" non-stop for a year?
