I agree with you 100%. The musical is one of my favorite musicals/stories so when I went to read the book I had very high expectations. Maybe that was the problem.

Hey Rachel! Welcome to BCF!

A salad with lots of carrots, cherry tomatos and cucumbers. Possibly some hot chocolate depending on how my stomach feels.

The Holiday is a great movie Right now I'm watching Gremlins.

5 more... 1. I don't know my actual eye color because it constantly changes depending on what colors I wear. Some days they are green and some they are bright blue. My driver's licence says blue but they are green most of the time. (or so I think) 2. My dad, stepmom and I are all trained storm chasers. I love tornado watching but am petrified to drive in 1 inch of snow. 3. I had a poem published in a book when I was 15 as a prize for winning a writing contest that my teacher made me enter. I didn't want to write it and ended up just scribbling down something that I thought would be rejected and handed it into her without much thought of the poem's content. I was so embaressed of that piece of work that I threw the copy of the book that they gave me away. I wish I still had it . (That teacher was the one who eventually inspired me and encouraged me to be a professional writer.) 4. I have no feeling in any of my toes except for the big ones due to several (and by several I mean hundreds) of hours playing soccer barefoot. I hated wearing shoes as a kid and my feet are forever screwed up because of it. Though it is kind of nice in a way because if I stub one of them I can't feel the pain 5. I snort sometimes when I laugh so I try to avoid laughing around people.

I just popped in Memoirs of a Geisha. I love this movie!

I just started Outlander this week and am loving it! It's so different and unique from anything else I've read. If there isn't already a thread out there for this in particular we should start one because I would love to talk more about it. I'm addicted to the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. It's about a lingere buyer who loses her job in Trenton, NJ and is forced to get a job at her cousin's bail bonds office as a bounty hunter. She is afraid of her gun and usually ends up in some hillarious situation resulting in her car getting blown-up. There is also a love triangle that is one of the best I've ever read. Another great series is the Immortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. It is about a group of people called Shadow Hunters or Nephilim (half human half angels) who hunt demons. It is sort of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Harry Potter.

Saturday Night Live with Taylor Lautner

It's definately the best in the series (so far!) but I wish the coloring wasn't so dark. You have to turn off every light in the house in order to see it properly.

Turkey sandwich with chips and a grapple.

He was absolutely brilliant in that sketch! I loved it when he started kissing Robert Pattinson's picture and said something like 'I know, notebooks aren't for kissing.'

A friend sent that to me. I think it's so funny because lawyers have actually said those things!

Such a great movie!

Taylor Lautner was on Saturday Night Live. I couldn't help laughing at this, it's great! (Nollaig, this is for you!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldXyF3rr2HE&feature=player_embedded

Thank you Kate

That's one of my favorite movies! Great plot.

I really love Nollaig's right now. So beautiful and festive!

That was so sweet of your sister!

Ugly Betty

For me the Harry Potter books have always been associated with sickness or trouble. I vowed never to read Harry Potter. I ended up changing schools a week before my senior year started so I didn't know anyone in school (and to top it off I transfered from public school to a very small Catholic prep school). After going through most of the modest library I finally caved and began Hary Potter about a month before Christmas break. For Christmas that year my family took a 3,000+ mile (round trip) road trip to Phoenix, AZ. I read the 4th Harry Potter book on the way down and then re-read 1-4 while we were in Phoenix because I came down with pneumonia and was bed bound for the whole trip. I bought the 5th book at a truck stop in Flagstaff, AZ and read that twice on the drive back. If it wern't for Harry Potter that trip would have been horrible When the 7th Harry Potter book came out a couple years ago now I went out at midnight to buy it. On the way home I was driving 5 miles an hour over the speed limit at 2 a.m. and was pulled over by a cop. He, thinking I was drunk, checked all through my car for alcohol (there was none). He then asked me why I was speeding at 2 a.m. I held up my new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book and told him I wanted to get home so I could read. He looked at it and let me off without so much as a warning! The moral of the story: always use Harry Potter as an excuse for speeding...

What a great buy!! I agree, I LOVE the smell of old books! There is just something so right about the mustiness...
