Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though it may be necessary, from time to time, to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
-lyrics of the moment-
But I do believe that not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be.
It seems like every time I try to make it right. it all comes down on me.
My sense of self comes not from other people but ...from...myself? That can't be right.

Well she wants to live her life, then she thinks about her life. Pulls her hair back as she screams: I don't really want to live this life.

Passage
Eve 6
I love the song "Here's to the Night"! So, of course, I have the track off of Napster, thanks to Kristine, but I still want the CD. There are a few songs on there that sounded good, and I'm sure I'll get used to the others.

Pride and Prejudice
If I can't watch Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, I can read and imagine Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. LOL I'm truly enjoying this novel - I tend to try and read a chapter before going to sleep, but I can never limit it to one! It's funny and sweet, and now I get why Jane Austen is still so popular.
This is one of the few sequels I've come across that can match the first in everything. I laughed, I cried, I fell in love with Mark Darcy. What more can you ask from a book?
The minute I got out of the theater after seeing Bridget Jones's Diary, I headed right over to Target to buy the soundtrack. The movie had more and much better music than is included on the CD, but it's still worth every penny. Robbie Williams does a good job on Frank Sinatra's "Miss Jones," while Geri Hallowell's "It's Raining Men" never fails to crack me up because I so vividly remember the scene from the movie. For such a happy and funny movie, the soundtrack has some very depressing songs, but they're still good.
I was v. excited when I got the Bridget Jones books for Easter! I finished the first one that day. Like a lot of women, I saw a lot of myself in Bridget, from her dieting to her unlucky love life, not to mention a slightly overbearing mother. <.g> Do you think
that Mark Darcys actually exist in this world? If not, can I steal Bridget's?
As per usual, I started a series on book two. But then I rushed out to buy book one, and found book three. Still haven't read book one, but that's just fine. This is a fabulous series about a midwife named Sarah Brandt who keeps running into this cop, Frank Malloy, and helping him solve mysteries. The turn of the century comes alive, and the blooming romance is slow and sweet. I especially love Frank's son Brian, who is deaf. Fascinating look at signing, lip reading, and education for deaf people 100 years ago. The author, Victoria Thompson, is a fabulously cool woman with her own website.
The latest from my favorite author, Connie Willis, does NOT disappoint. By turns happy and sad, sweet and bitter, joyful and heartbreaking, this story will keep you in it's grip until the very end. It still blows my mind. It's about a neurologist and a psychologist who work together on a study of Near Death Experiences. The neurologist, Richard, is trying to replicate one scientifically, while Joanna's field of study is interviewing those who have experienced one. The characters are so real and full of life, and I guarantee that you will be shocked by what happens. There are tons of cool allusions about death and the afterlife, and I love how Titanic plays a role. This is such a must read book.

I've read the American versions countless times, but I want to see the originals! I want to see Joanne's words, even if some may prove difficult to translate. I don't care, I want the real Harry, Ron and Hermione.
This is self-explanatory, I believe. I'm in love with David Duchovny. Well, the idea of him, at any rate - I suspect I'm more in love with Mulder than anything. But I am able to recognize that Mulder is fictional and David is not, therefore...I'm in love with David. <.g> Tea can have him in real life, I'm quite satisfied with my imaginary David.
