On the street i happen to work on. I can see the smoke out the window.

That is not the worst part. One of my best friends from childhood lives in that building.

and he hasn't picked up his phone yet.

Dumbledore is NOT dead... JKR has stated that he is, but even without that statement, I would have to say that all evience points to the contrary. My reasons: Basic: Snape replaces the potion in the basin in the cave with a potion to stop death. Dumbledore survives the Avada Kedavra, but is knocked...

i've got to dash to work, so i haven't got time to go in depth with a response now.

i think your ideas and theories are creative, but i admit i disagree with nearly all of them.

more in a bit!

Young Val

i'm just really upset that Lorelai called Christopher at the end. And I expected them to do more with Lorelai and that cotillion girl who so obviously was meant to represent her. But they didn't.

Dear Bob,

lying in bed reading The Hobbit is just as good as sleeping, right? i mean, for me, anyways. it's at least resting. it's ok. i'll sleep soon.

........

even I don't believe that bullshit.

Young Val

congratulations, Adam!

Young Val

Dear You,

So, what, that's it?

We go to a bar, and some old guy corners us with awkward conversation about our non-existant relationship, and I just... never hear from you again?

If it's really over, is that honestly how you want it to end?

Young Val

I'm in the same boat. I like Wikipedia, it's a really great way to get a lot of concise information, and it often links up to a lot of its sources. For my own personal amusement, and for some quick basic info-gathering (to later be verified by "actual" sources). But would I use it as a mai...

Have you received bad service? Or have you served a bad customer? Come here and post your tales of woe! Now, don't get me wrong. I started waiting tables when I was fourteen years old and continued to do so off and on until I was 23. God forbid I have have to do it again. I've worked other customer ...

ok. so i'm going to break this up into almost OVERLY simple tasks. because i would really like to make today productive. and i know it will be very easy for me to do a whole lot of nothing. so. in no particular order. -take a shower. -do at least one load of laundry (IF i find my metrocard). -find m...

i adored Jonathan Strange

Young Val

this is strange, but in some ways, i'm really glad a lot of the old stuff was lost.

only because i KNOW i'd be rereading all my henry-related posts incessantly. and i don't think that would help any.

Young Val

no offense taken. i look forward to posting in here some day.

Young Val

you're aces, Ollie!!!

plus, now you get input on what we read next!

Young Val

I love this book and I was so excited to see it was the featured book. Personaly though, when I read it I start with The Bride chapter and when I loan it to friends to read I tell them to skip to The Bride chapter. I find that first chapter to be boring and unfunny. Strange, I think the opening is ...

Young Val

I was going to edit my previous post to add all this in, but since I'm moving on to other topics, I figured I would just double-post, faux-pas be damned. (Also, I'm reading and quoting from a paperback version of the book in which I cannot find the edition or publishing date to save my life. It's pu...

I felt pretty awkward when I didn't notice that there was a typo in "doing the dead" and asked Jebus if he had any idea what the hell the expression meant....

and here i just assumed that she had a REALLY passive partner.

Young Val

I'll kick things off, then, shall I? One of the reasons Brent and I decided to start off "light" with The Princess Bride as opposed to something more "challenging" has a lot to do with the mass appeal factor. But a lot of people (talking about specific, faceless masses here, not ...

Happy Thanksgiving!

enjoy the food! god, i love big feasting holidays.

i'm surprised there hasn't been a big surge in the "I'm Thankful" thread as a result of the current Canadian holiday and impending American holiday.

Young Val

so, i liked Nelly Furtado when she first garnered some attention. she was a sort of earthy-urban mix with a unique voice. and while i never went out and bought the album, i enjoyed singing along to her songs on the radio. however, her recent come-back, complete with generically skanked out image, re...

I am reading Salinger's Franny and Zooey

best. book. ever.

one of them, at least. when you're done with it (after you tell me what you thought) you should read Nine Stories if you haven't already.

Young Val

Craig, was that your first reading of HBP?

Young Val

actually, i would be interested to see what would get voted Best or Favorite thread. some of the old shoe-ins haven't gotten as much action in the new forum thus far, and a lot of their draw was the sense of on-going history they contained. time would be ripe for an upset, it seems.

Young Val

i don't know why The Princess Bride isn't currently on everyone's list...

Young Val

spare me.

Young Val

i don't know if i've got all five yet. we'll see.. 1. Rear Window. this is, not only my favorite Hitchcock movie, but probably one of my favorite movies of all time. ever. SO creepy and yet SO removed... it's amazing. it was between this, and The Bad Seed, which is my other favorite old time creepy ...

Young Val

this is probably a TOTAL derail, and if so, i'll pack up and head out, but i'd love to have this statement explained to me....

A broken heart can be explained by science

Young Val

Can I pretend to have read it based on the little bit I can remember from having seen the movie years ago? No, I believe that would be decidedly against the point of the entire club. Locke, however, may feel free to join in with anything he remembers from having read the book. And book/movie compar...

irrational irritation: photobucket will NOT upload my photos! ARGH

Irrational Irritation: Lies.

i'd say that's a rational irritation sweetie. at least, i like to think it is, since i like to think that not EVERYTHING that pisses me off is irrational.
