Interests
Reading (including fanchit-chat); independent films; travel; friendships, cooking, horseback-riding, museums (should we have a thread for this topic - you know like for the smaller gems that might be overlooked but treasured by those who know where they are and what they have), dogs and truly all animals, some television shows that are splendid and some that aren't but have a strange traffic accident fascination ( eg. sopranos, weeds, lost, dexter, gossip girl).

Really? Gosh, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Ms. Blunt about a year ago. She was all one hoped her to be: beautiful, kind, funny, humble and was eating the less than gourmet food with gusto. She was filming and went back to it after the meal. All she did for makeup was to turn to the gal, say "no spinach?" as she smiled. She resumed filming without checking a mirror after that. Refreshing lack of vanity and a wonderful laugh. Sigh.

I read in a biography written about her that she was sexually assaulted whilst a teenager by Kirk Douglas. It sounded as if this was not his first foray (or his last) in this behavior. Unforgivable.

Need light reading for book club
ranchdog replied to bittermuch?'s topic in Comic Books & Literature Chatter
Two wonderful authors come to mind. If you have not read "I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith, I recommend it. this novel, written in diary form, of an intriguing, eccentric English family who live in a 14th century castle in the English countryside. It has humor, joy and a charm of its own. Perhaps it is time to read or read Barbara Pym, sort of a 20th century Jane Austen. Her books, although also written about a small slice of English life, have wit and depth and wonderful writing. -
Meanwhile, I saw a movie I loved and I think you would, too. No car crashes, explosions, vampires, special powers or ammunition but had a great script excellent acting, will remind you what you are happy and unhappy to miss about Boston - heck, the rating at RottenTomatoes is 97%! Go, see "Social Network" - it's wonderful and probably needs ticket sales as there will be no merchandising opportunities from it. Fit it into your schedule as soon as you can, chances are it'll be gone all too quickly.

Thinking that Michael Vick's name should be on this list...
