Peacefield

Oh yeah that's a creepy vid! Everyone grins really huge and distorted-like, yuck. And do I remember a poor fish just flopping and flailing around?!

That they do, Rawr! Ooh I think we've had this coversation before . I never get tired of watching the Chilis. I made a Soundgarden playlist this morning, so that's what I've been listening to all day: Spoonman Jesus Christ Pose Dusty Slaves and Bulldozers Like Suicide Ty Cobb Blow Up the Outside World Kickstand Rusty Cage Black Hole Sun

I don't know wht to read next! I'm not in the mood for anything on my TBR shelf . I'm so annoyed.

It's one of my favorites, Dimitra! Excellent film .

Vampire Diaries, but it's a repeat, ugh. I'm bummed too that there will be no new Bones eps on until 1st April! American Idol!

Welcome! Glad you liked it . Gotta love Chris's voice. Rawr, have you seen the Road Trippin' vid? It's cool, just the guys sitting around in an old cabin playing all acoustic-like.

I had fish too . My friend's dad gave me a huge bag of sunnies and crappies he caught in their lake last weekend. Can't get much fresher!

I've only read one Gerritsen, 'The Bone Garden,' and loved it! I'm hoping to read more of hers .

Mary Finch is a young woman of wit, courage, and straitened circumstances. When invited to meet her wealthy uncle and end a family estrangement, therefore, she sets off immediately for White Ladies, his estate on the Suffolk coast. Yet soon she is embroiled in an adventure beyond any she could imagine, for the year is 1795, and England is at war with Republican France. When she arrives at White Ladies she learns that her uncle has died, leaving behind evidence of a treacherous plot. Enemy agents have obtained military secrets that would give France a decisive advantage, but who is the source of this information, and how can he be stopped? Mary is not alone in her quest to solve the mystery, but the men who profess to help her are not quite what they seem. From Suffolk the traitor's trail moves finally to London. There Mary learns the true meaning of the Blackstone key, but has the treasure it secured already been lost? I started out really enjoying this book, getting caught up in 18th century England and following Mary around as she heads off to see her long-lost uncle. I also got a kick out of her counterpart, Captain Holland, and his mumbling and general crouchiness. For some reason though it really starting dragging about halfway through. It's hard to explain, but I just wasn't interested in smuggling and French spies! There were a lot of characters introduced too and I had trouble keeping them straight . Good effort for the author, but it just ended up being blah!

Hey there and welcome to BCF, Kylar! Glad you joined us .

Wow, Chartier is an idiot! First-time nominee or not, how can you think it's okay to solicit votes? Sheesh. I'm excited for Sunday! Every year a big group of us have an Oscar party and fill out ballots. I always have a hard time voting because I always want to vote for who I want to win when I should be voting for the person who I think will win. We have a prize even for most right and most wrong on the ballot . So far I've only seen A Serious Man, District 9, Crazy Heart and Fantastic Mr. Fox though, and I loved them all so hopefully they'll each win something. I'm going to try and squeeze in Up in the Air this weekend. Which pics/actors/actresses do you guys want to see win?

I loved that film, Ethan, Coen Bros are masters! I'm about to pop in 'Lars and the Real Girl.'

Yummy sauteed onions, zucchini, mushrooms and chicken with some sesame sauce .

Seinfeld, then the Office.

Excellent outing, Frankie, and such great deals! I think I read God of Small things many, many years ago and remember loving it. I hope you do too!

Coffee and a banana blah, blah, blah.

Excellent cover, Ned! Nice Have you heard Chris Cornell do this one? It's a great version. Right now my iPod is housing: Road Trippin' - Red Hot Chili Peppers Percussion Gun - White Rabbits I Know What I Am - Band of Skulls Take Five - Dave Brubeck Quartet 15 Step - Radiohead Jesus Christ Pose - Soundgarden Sure Shot - Beastie Boys Carry Me Home - The Dig Hey - Red Hot Chili Peppers You Want Blood (You've Got It) - AC/DC

Cornflakes and strawberries . Such a long day I couldn't be bothered with anything else .

I completely forgot about this film, Vladd! I had the same thoughts. I especially laughed at the kind of techno music over all the action scenes . Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle were pretty funny in it too.

Half-caff latte from Starbucks and some strawberries .

I finished The Blackstone Key last night and man am I glad! It was a bit of a chore towards the end there, unfortunately. Hopefully I'll collect my thoughts and be able to post a review tonight. I'm not sure what to start next...

After seeing Fantastic Mr. Fox yesterday I was in a Wes mood so this morning I watched Bottle Rocket, my all-time fave .

Welcome Frenchie! Glad to have you .

Olympics closing ceremonies. Ohno looks pretty snazzy in his little hat!

Had leftovers from my lunch out today. Yummy scallops and sauteed veggies smothered in ginger sauce .
