The Hall of Fire

I watched Sunshine a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Not only for it's intrigue but because of the cinematography. Danny Boyle directing is now an automatic draw for me to see a film and if Cillian is involved even more so! I did get the Event Horizon vibe briefly but it wasn't nearly as graphic o...

How wonderful!!!! I can't wait to see the youngest Vinyamar in action .

This isn't just another school shooting for me. This was the school my younger brother attended last year before I insisted he stay in California. I had marching band competitions at NIU every year in high school and know many people who've attended and graduated from NIU. Thankfully all of Dan's fr...

I'm so glad I walked away from the Catholic Church not that I think they'd want me anymore anyway. The Catholic church continually misses the big picture because they are too busy trying to change others when they should reflect on themselves and perhaps talk to God. The final straw was when I visit...

I know we are taking a break but I've finally caught up! You're right vison after the first couple of chapters the book is easier to follow. So we've seen what most of the bedesmen are after and I find it appalling that they are using threats to get all the men on the same page. Those men have been ...

My Uncle Lon passed away yesterday

Loved The Hidden Worlds can't wait for The Cold Minds

ETA: Um, no pressure Prim

I never cross-post but I have for this thread because I'm serious about suggestions :D. So my new favorite thing to do is read book recommendations by anyone willing to share. I love reading and I love discussing books but there are so many out there that I find myself overwhelmed. So I tend to raid...

That's great news Jewel Safe trip!

Fortunately for me I love oatmeal too and have lots on hand

My prayers are with you and Hannah Jewel Speedy recovery

I found out I have high cholesterol I know it's a common problem and nothing to freak out about but I'm still concerned.

Prayers for Micah's family and for yours Wampus

I have a problem with TV. My obsessions are as follows: Dancing with the Stars Chuck Journeyman Reaper Dirty Sexy Money Hell's Kitchen Kitchen Nightmares Pushing Daisies Moonlight Heroes Lost I know there are more but I can't think of them :D No, Battlestar Galactica isn't one of them. I watched the...

Hi all! I have fallen behind but I do plan on catching up

I didn't know that you had personal correspondence from G. Dub Crucifer no wonder you seem to know so much about the United States. Bush has spent too much money and killed the economy in the process. But the only thing in this thread that has really caught my attention is the discussion of rent bec...

I do believe God created the universe but not necessarily as it says in the book of Genesis. The Bible is full of imagery and metaphors which is why there are so many variations on religion. As a good Catholic girl I went to CCD every week and did learn about Padre Pio and while it seemed far fetche...

Prayers for Micah and his family

Oh no Prim! I recently obtained a copy of Portrait of a Lady because I was on an obsessive mission to find a certain kind of book from Barnes and Noble that was discontinued. I haven't started reading it yet and now I'm a little intimidated :shock: I hope it gets better *gulp*. :shock: Speaking of T...

WOW someone is getting their butt handed to them. To clarify I am referring to the Rockies....ouch.

So baseball season is over! There's always next year

That would be a question for the Wizengamot Faramond :D I don't think it matters what Dumbledore's sexual preference is but I think it's pretty cool that JKR is sharing these things. She could very easily make other books chronicling this stuff and slap a price tag on it. Yes, I've heard she's gonna...
