Nollaig

I have a copy of Mein Kampf somewhere - I haven't read it but I probably will. I wouldn't hold that against anyone, I don't see the problem in reading it.

I've merged Coffin Nail's classics thread with one we already had

Some random episodes of Stargate SG-1.

The Simpsons

I would never be in favour of banning it. Kell's Robinson Crusoe point is an excellent one both in that it's not a racist book, and in that it's an illustration of cultural change, something I don't think should be censored either. Overall, I tend to be of the opinion that you can't say ANYTHING anymore or you're racist or sexist or some other 'ist', and it's hitting a point of ridicule. If people don't want to read anything that might be construed as racist, don't read it. If you read something and suddenly hate black people, you were probably doomed to begin with. Personally, reading a book I later felt was purely racist without dealing with the subject objectively, it would make me LESS racist because I would think, 'I don't want to be like that'. I think it's an incredibly subjective topic, and that it's too subjective to really draw a definitive line.

That man would look great in anything. Om nom nom. David Boreanaz is quite hot too though -I don't think he's all THAT physically attractive, but when Angel sorta goes slightly evil from time to time, David is great at acting like he's completely apathetic and actually seems quite dangerous - which makes him hot. Also, he has arguably the most intense eyes ever.

I would love to marry a Giles. A smart, well-read, British fella with an adventurous streak and a great singing voice. What more could a girl want?!

WarGames. Old hacker movie.

BBQ pizza!

As per usual I'm really struggling to get any reading done at home. I just can't concentrate with tv and people distracting me.

Some old Star Trek movie. It involves whales.

Finally went (read as; was obliged) to go see Avatar and didn't think much of it.

Is it in 3-D? My family keeps telling me it's in 3-D.

Awesome, that sounds like it's RIGHT up my alley, I'll definitely be checking it out I love quantum physics and relativity.

Okay ever since this thread started I've been fighting the urge to write: To me, "reading a book" means picking up bound, printed pages, scanning said pages with my eyes and deriving meaning from the text which, as the 'reading' progresses, more abstractly forms a story. I'm sorry. I'm pedantic. They dropped me on my head when I was a child.

Maybe it's because good looks aren't everything and they're suddenly realising they're not married to such a great person. I'm just playing devil's advocate though. I learned I'm going home tonight *groan*

I spend way too much. Usually at least one or two second hand books a week (totals about €10-20 a month) and occasionally I go into Waterstones and that costs me €20-30 a go. Last week I spent €36 in Waterstones, and €7 on secondhand books the week before.

Dude seriously, I told you before, you make me laugh a lot, therefore you are cool Welcome back

I haven't done any reading today, but I'm bring two or three books to my parents with me for the weekend so hopefully I'll get some done. I've less than 100 pages in Something Wicked This Way Comes, and I think after that it will be I, Lucifer, World War Z, and Vlad, roughly in that order that I read.

Not sure, surprising mum tonight by turning up at her door. So whatever she can scrape together

I'd cheat myself if I woke up to Cheryl every morning. ....I kid! I kid! (I don't really, but I don't mean it. It's a horrible thing.)

Blame It On The Girls - Mika

I'm watchng youtube uploads from the Mika gig I couldn't go to - it looks like it was INCREDIBLE. He is just so many kinds of awesome.

It's far more mature than Buffy, always was. It's more comical in some ways, but the fundamental sincerity of it was always of a darker, less easily-defined nature than Buffy's.

I learned that the actress who plays Bones in the same-titled series alongside David Boreanaz is named Emily Deschanel, and that she is the elder sister of Zooey Deschanel. And you know what, now that I know it they so obviously LOOK like sisters!
