Okay, I caved. My brother's had his Wii since summer, but I only started using it around New Year's - and now I'm hooked. This is the first video game I've ever played in my life (pardoning one short bout of Katamari Damacy a few years back) and within two days I was proficient, and after a couple o...

Crick was also half of the duo that helped model DNA (Watson being the other), which is what the writers and directors of Stranger than Fiction decided to name all their characters after, at least surnames wise. (Crick, Pascal, Escher, Eiffel, etc.) Nice name, though. Mine was just a random name tha...

Since I'm on a posting splurge I might as well add to this one. I'm starting to drift away from fantasy; sorry Garth Nix, that new book sucked. Same with you, Gregory Macguire. As for classics, I agree with Elganorus - get yourself some Kafka. You'll like it. It's short, I promise. (Well, The Trial ...

Per YEAR? I'm always reading a book... I probably read about 100 proper books a year, I guess -- one every couple of days, or several books a day in the summer when I have more time. It's almost horrible when I read, since I'll stop doing homework or whatever if I find something good. *g* EDIT: by p...

I like eccentric movies. I hated Napoleon Dynamite though, and I couldn't get into Bottle Rocket. But most eccentric movies are fine by me. Chick flicks are cute once in a while, but they don't make the favourites list -- you can't really watch a chick flick more than once and still enjoy it. My fav...

I started piano sort of late (at 12) but at think at one point I got really good with the classical stuff, but now I have certain tastes. I can't STAND playing classical music anymore unless it's Debussy (Impressionist music), or really, really interesting. I'm still partial ot Bach's Sinfonias, if ...

I loved the Kristen Britain books -- like Dom, I'm eagerly awaiting for the third book! They're just so intricately woven, the stories about the breach in the wall and the Green Riders seem so mystical. I like fantasy but also contemporary fiction - I, for one, loved All-American Girl recommended by...
