Oh but of course...but I still think that Murray *could* make a good 
halfling.  Definatly a Brandybuck or Hornblower.  Mike as a Took, Dave as a 
Baggins, and although Ji would make a very cool dwarf (not dwarve), he could 
pass as a Gamgee. :)

Oh, didn't I give you the dark chocolate ones?  *cheesy grin*

Funny, that's what my mama said.

btw, in the non-fiction realm I'm reading  Kenneth Meadows'
"Medicine Way" and "Earth Medicine", shamanism primers which go
hand-in-hand.   In fiction, I also whipped through Mario Vargas
Llosa's "Death in the Andes" a couple weeks ago; breathtaking
imagery, but bleak bleak bleak and oppressive (which would be the
point.)

I'm still kicking around this Great-Big-Sea-at-Birchmere idea for
this weekend.  hmmm....

Sounds like all of my high school reunions.  minus the "planning
for" part.  :)

But yes, FruConIV looks like a semidefinite go.  And yes, ellen,
boosting karma in that regard does sound like a good plan!

Boomtown Rats and Tolkien???

Sometimes I get *so* confrused ....

God, not this again...  For my science project last year, I did something very
similar to that peep experimentation site...  I got a 89...  scary, huh?

Nope, all of them were theatrical releases. Please tell me they aren't
remaking it! You can't remake an oscar winning movie!
http://www.playcenter.com/Movies/awards/oscar_winners_1960s.htm
Shelley Winters won Best Supporting Actress in the movie.

It's like making a sequel to "To Sir, With Love" and putting it on TV.
ARGH!

Uh oh... ;D
 
> Lisa (can't wait to give my daughter "Tree Grows in Brooklyn" to read).

I can't believe I never read the book until a couple of months ago and
I saw the movie first.  The movie was a very short version of the
book. (I think ellen was asking that question) & you know there were
some "touchy" subjects in the book for that time & they left them out
of the movie. ;)  However, still a classic film. :)

Done.

http://users.javanet.com/~adamh/jianchat.txt is the link.

You may wish to right-click it and save it as something else so you can read
it in a program that line wraps.

I have not edited this log in any way save for deleting the chatter before
Jian arrived. Also, I pinged out for 75 seconds at 20:44 or so, right after
Ben asked Jian what his favorite banned book was.

...which he never really answered :-)

I also have a complete, unedited chat log.  However, I was logging from 7-10,
and the chat started at 8, so there is some pretty interesting pre-chat banter
stuff. (i.e. Dutch pickup lines).  My log is at
http://www.geocities.com/saphiracat/JianChat10-2-00.txt
OR...
if your computer won't except that, just click the link on the bottom, and go
to my fruvous page.

Lawrence is editing his chat log, so if you want an edited version, you'll have
to wait for his. Or someone else whom I didn't know was logging [1].  Whoever
announces first.

Since I'm totally broke and my birthday isn't for three more days (oh my God,
has Fruhead.com really been around that long???) so I'm still awaiting a
Borders gift certificate to go on a book buying spreeeeeee (I know, I know,
library Lisa library)... I've been re-reading some old favorites and have one I
MUST recommend because I think it's wonderful and very overlooked ... 

It's called "Maybe the Moon" and is by Armistead Maupin. I know he has a new
novel out (first purchase with that gift certificate) ... this I believe is his
most recent novel before that but it's not part of the Tales of the City
trilogy.

It's a novel in diary form loosely based (or maybe not so loosely) on the life
of Tamara DeTreaux, the dwarf who was inside the costume of ET in the movie.

OK maybe it doesn't sound that good but it's really quite amazing. 

Listening lately to Sam Phillips' CD "Martinis and Bikinis" which I bought a
few weeks ago and then yesterday heard my fave song on the CD, the "hit" (I use
term loosely) "I Need Love," as the theme song for the new Ralph Lauren
perfume. Weird. I like this CD... 

And saw "Almost Famous" which I adored. Now just waiting for "Best in Show" to
come to my little burb of Washington DC.
