She'd probably like that, but she prefers not to have to cook on her birthday. ;-)
By the we, I had the Tortellini ala Cabonara, and she had Chicken Alfredo. Both very good, and unfortunately neither of us had room left for dessert!
I know of them, but haven't read them. Most of the SF I read is pre-1980. ;-)
Now that would be funny.
Completely irreverant, but funny.
Remember, there aren't many dwarf women around. Now we may know why.
Now I can sneak past Dwarves unseen!
The Precioussss iss mine!
Handy bauble to have.
Oh wow, now we're going to have to clean house... and buy a grill, I guess.
please tell me some of you people have read the Ender books?
I'm trying to convince my missus to go and see it for our 3rd viewing, so that we can see the TTT teaser (TTTT?) Still playing in 2 non-discount theaters here in Austin.
It came and went before I even realized it was there. Darn dial-up connection.....
In it's heyday, the organist was a man named Eddie Weaver.
From what I'm told the "in" thing to do was to go to the Byrd Theater and watch Eddie Weaver's organ rise...
Bad dwarf. Very bad dwarf...
Is this whole FR site slowing way down or is it just my computer?
No, it's crawling here. I've got cable, but I've been having trouble all week...
(snicker) Did he have roses on it, or did he have ...
No, I won't say it...
Anyway, the Ender books are by Orson Scott Card. The ones I like best are Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, and Speaker for the Dead (incidentally that's the order I would recommend reading them in.)
They happen to be some of the best sci-fi written lately, and Game and the Shadow series are absolutely brilliant and true. Speaker for the Dead is a little different from the others but good, in a way.... if you can stand books about brilliant children, and science fiction to boot, they're a great series. Also, since we're talking religion, Card is a Mormon but his books are some of the most, well, Christian, out there.
