Heh...I shouldn't let it bother me...but I'm always very aware when someone behind me is angry because I'm going slower than they want to or when I'm not absolutely positive where I'm going. And that makes me a worse driver. It's something I need to get over.
A long road trip would go a ways toward fixing that, I think. May be just what the doctor ordered.
Stephen King was my first love. Reading love, that is. ;-D
Christine, Cujo, Salem's Lot, It, Pet Semetary, The Shining, The Stand, Firestarter...
Lots of good stuff. Then he got lazy...and weird(er).
G'nite Jen!
I like Stephen King too... though I think he should just be arrested for the thoughts he has. Something's just not right with that man.
Martin Freeman .... Arthur Dent
Mos Def .... Ford Prefect
Sam Rockwell .... Zaphod Beeblebrox
Zooey Deschanel .... Tricia McMillan ("Trillian")
Bill Nighy .... Slartibartfast
Warwick Davis .... Marvin the Paranoid Android
Alan Rickman .... Marvin the Paranoid Android (voice)
...and from the original BBC prod:
Simon Jones .... Magrathean Announcer
She's interested in doing the homeschool, but I think its the fear of the unknown that she's dealing with. She gets excited one day, and sad the next.
I had thought it would be a good idea to do something like you suggested! :D I hadnt talked to the teacher about doing something like that yet.
hehehehe...couldn't agree more. It's disturbing to know that someone with that kind of thought pattern roams around Maine at liberty.
I remember the first time it really ~hit~ me that he was just plain sick. But I won't say it on-thread for obvious reasons.
I kept reading and finished the book anyway though. *grin*
I guess we're all fortunate that he chose writing as a career instead of becoming a serial killer.
As far as we know.
I'm sure his neighbors already comment on how "quiet" he is. *shudder*
Have you tried any books by the author Jeffrey Deaver?
He writes murder mysteries, and one JenB might enjoy is "The Blue Nowhere" about a computer hacker the cops have to stop. It has enough computer details to make OB"s and my eyes cross, but that can be skipped without losing the story. It's out in paperback, so you can probably get it at a used book store.
We just found another good author, G.M.Ford. His stories are almost all based in Seattle, and he evokes the climate the way I imagine it. Fast, fun reads.
Interesting stuff. Might try that.
I saw a few books by both of those fellas at the store, but didn't give them more than a passing glance. Thanks for the tip!
I'll be sure to grab a couple on my next trip to the Book Barn.
Make me stop... I'm fixin' ta flame out on one of my favorite punching bags. I should know better. I do know better. :-)
I should stop now.
Unnggghh.
I'm gonna read a few more chapters of my trashy romance novel and hit the hay.
See you all tomorrow!
And thanks again for remembering my birthday.
Nighty night!
Interesting comparison...especially the median age and income.

Of course, housing is a lot cheaper here...but even so...
Stop. Drink. Fuhgedaboudit. ;-D
((((Ramius))))
Niters (as you always say).
Mmmm...Book Barn...
Ya know what's a little sad? One of the things that's pushing me to get outta here is the death of the town I live in. It's just gone downhill over the past decade...there's not much left. But there's always been a good used bookstore.
It's closing in May. My last tie...is severed.
Heh.
Good night, Ruthy!
I should head to bed, too. *yawn* Maybe I'll sleep better than I did last night! I was really worked up and upset.
Mine?
