So, I do not KNOW this guy, but he died SO far back, ('84 did it say)? OK, calling my Mother right now Linus! Thank you so much!!

Maybe she will remember him in something, from way back. It doesn't look like he was a "main character" in movies though - even then, anything outstanding and/or memorable...(?) But, IF he was in ANY "murder mystery" BEV will most certainly know/remember him!

Mastering the Art of French Cooking, v.1, Julia Child, et al. (So bummed blogging this has already been done.)

Blood's A Rover, James Ellroy. Hardcore staccato conspiracy-noir from the master.

Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City, Greg Keyes. You'll probably only enjoy this if you're familiar with the video games Morrowind and Oblivion.

Don't ask.

I'm still reading the instructions to the MP3 player I got for Christmas 08. Does anybody have a 12 -year-old I can borrow who can show me how to use the damned thing? (my new smilie policy: use one from the window to the right whether it fits or not)

amiyesiam · 01-02-2010, 11:46 AM

the same two books I was reading last week. I need to finish them.
I did read Return to Isis by Jean Stewart last week. There are 4 more books in the series. I have them and now need to read them.

I know exactly how you feel about the electronics! When I get a new cell phone, I always bring it to class so my students can show me how to use all the nifty features

p.s. I like your smilie policy

In regards to your smiley policy, I've been doing that since they got the rotating smiley thing up and running. I've even adjusted my posts, on occasion, to fit the smilies. lol

This one's new to me....

Currently skimming Kate Bornstein's Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women, & the Rest of Us for quotes. If you haven't read it, it's worth the time!

Here's an excerpt...

I write when nothing else will bring me peace, when I burn, when I find myself asking and answering the same questions over and over…I write in bottom space. I open up to you, I cut myself, I show you my fantasies, I get a kick out of that—oh, yeah. I perform in top space. I cover myself with my character and take you where you never dreamed you could go. Yes. My ancestors did this. My instrument is not my pen or my typewriter, not my lover’s Macintosh, not my cast of characters, not my body on stage. No, my instrument is my audience and oh how I love to play you.

Damn, she's brilliant--and that red hair when I saw her perform....
