You might be interested in 'The Molecule hunt how archaeologists are bringing the past back to life' by Martin Jones though not strictly speaking dinosaurs its a fascinating study of how dna and other stuff ( sorry very non scientific) can aid in determining the past a step away from the usual artefacts recovered on archaeological sites...anyway this is not a very good description but have a look its not a bad book.
That sounds awesome! I'm interested in all ancient life, human cultures, animals, the evolution of both, so that book sounds right up my street! Thank you

Avril Lavigne.
It never ceases to amaze me how amazing a singer she is. Strip back the sillly image, pop music and backing tracks - give her an acoustic guitar and a microphone and watch her sing live - she has one of the most beautiful, powerful, flawless voices I've ever heard. She's also better live than on record.
That song, done like that, always sends a shiver down my spine.

I got "How To Build a Dinosaur - Extinction Doesn't Have To Be Forever", the newest book by Jack Horner, a well known Paleontologist (if only for his work as technical advisor on the Jurassic Park movie).

Random Star Trek TNG episodes.

I don't choose. I used to exercise common sense and decision making skills with regard to books, but now I just read them all at once
At the moment I'm reading three books, and there's another three I want to start. I'm trying to plough through the three I have going because I think my brain just might explode if I read six at once!I also want to re-read a LOAD of books.

Dinner with chocolate in it?! You don't mind if I pop round for dinner at yours do you?

There's a very unloved thread about Point Horror here, feel free to show it some love

I need to learn to make brownies. Fairy cakes are great and all, but brownies are chocolate cake with chocolate cream and chocolate icing.
So much chocolate! -
Depends.... if I mosey to the shop, maybe pizza. If not, maybe roast potatoes & BBQ chicken steaks? I should probably stay home, shouldn't I?

Tuna and cheese on brown bread, water to drink. I had a craving for something insanely savoury, and it doesn't really get less sweet than cheese, tuna and water!

I don't get it. At all. Not on the basis of the gratuitous neurosis that constituted Norwegian Wood.

"I would like one New Moon DVD, no special attachments please. Just the disks. In a standard box."
"Sorry, nobody makes those. We have this lovely gold plated metal box hand-engraved by somebody who ACTUALLY MET THE ACTORS OMG with the likeness of either Edward or Jacob for only $250."

I ordered from amazon this evening ~
Fighting Ruben Wolf by Markus Zusak
He has a third book?? I thought he only had two!

Star Trek: The Next Generation
This show is like the comfort food of the tv world for me.
-
But she did get a spot of robot lovin'!
Can I just point out, I don't FANCY Data. Unlike a certain somebody, I like my men to be capable of emotion. (Data wasn't til much much later). He's like a kid, only rather than being limited by inexperience and underdevelopment, he's completely bound by logic and limited abilities (like, said lack of emotion) in his attempt to understand the chaotic nature of humans, and yet he strives so ferverently to understand that nature, to become more human himself. He's like a walking, talking bit of Philosophy. And he's hilarious.

Now, now, jealousy does not become you! (I always preferred Ro Laren myself).
I finished watching Deep Space Nine on Wednesday; just as good as ever. A really good group of characters and a great cast that were never really equalled or bettered, and some very good stories.
What next, Angel or Farscape?
Jealous?! Of Tasha?! She was so BORING and so NICEY NICE. Give me Ro Laren any day as well.
Ahhh DS9. I still haven't seen it all. Just many, many episodes over the years, I have no idea of storylines etc. I love Julian Bashir & Garek. Brilliant pair.
ANGEL ANGEL ANGEL! I've never seen Farscape, so I'm completely inclined towards Angel.
-
^No you don't, Data is just funny. Really, he is. Everyone loves Data. Though..
not as much as Tasha Yar..
I never liked her, but I do always get a bit teary when I think about her and Data, and Data's little hologram of her.
I also love how far removed Brent Spiner is from the character of Data. Brent is SO sarky, pedantic, witty, etc that it sort of adds to Data's individuality and authenticity as a personality that he's nothing like the actor who portrays him.
To all you Star Gate fans out there I got a CV from a Daniel Jackson a couple of months ago and he is an archaeologist too, don't think it was the Star Gate one though..shame
Man. That's so awesome. I'd nearly marry him on those grounds alone. I love Daniel Jackson. He's just such a cool guy, and I love how he starts out as a nervous, long-winded nerd, but over the course of the series actually turns into quite the occasional badass while retaining his lovable nerdiness.
-
I just want to say that, in the TNG episode 'Cause & Effect', (the time loop one) I NEVER fail to laugh during:
The Poker game where Riker, Worf & Crusher start correctly naming the cards Data is about to deal, when Data looks up at them and, completely deadpan, says: 'This is highly improbable'.
I have the weirdest sense of humor.

In the spirit of earlier conversation in the chocolate thread, I'm about to eat
*~*A TRIPLE CHOC MUFFIN!!*~*
-
You have me sold, anyway. I've always wanted to read books based on Arthurian legend and have never done so because I don't know where to start.
-
LOL Tom, that was HILARIOUS! You seriously have me in stitches today
-
Wow! That has just made my mouth water....
-
Triple dark/milk/white chocolate muffin for me please.
-
MMM BOP! BOP BOP DO BOP, DO BE DOP BOP BOP DOOOOO BOP! That's accurate 'n all.
I'm listening to 'Rock & Roll Kids', dunno who sings it but it was an Irish Eurovision winner back when Ireland won every second year or so. (I.e when it was still good
)
Scariest film you have seen?

Yeah you'll watch the Exorcist on repeat but a cartoon Iron Giant scares you.
Don't look now, but Reagan wants you. *points*
Also, for me, The Exorcist. Rawr and I have spent many a night psychologically torturing each other talking about Reagan sitting at the foot of the bed and so on. It scared me prior to that, but I actually couldn't sleep those nights.
