and i am here at my 2000 post! i would like to thank all of you for a very interesting, fun, and emotional forum. this is my absolute favourite bit of writing and i will borrow it, with thanks to mr. steinbeck. you came upon me carving some kind of little figure out of wood and you said...

i'm not a fan. as a rule i am pretty ambivilent about him. i will go see his movies but i find him really *blech* in interviews. lately though he is everywhere saying something or doing something moronic. i tried to watch him on oprah when the interview was re-aired and i just could not do it. i...
