Books have not gone out of print. You shouldn't drink and drive. 'Text Speak' is does not count as a second language. Alaska is not an island. USA means United States of America. Other countries do, indeed, make movies. Ladies, 'that's disgusting' is not a proper mantra. Gentlemen, I remain unimpressed with your flexing. Teachers, I know how to follow logic. You need not put it on midterms. Yes, I am reading this for fun. Unless there's a teacher somewhere assigning students CD Payne books, in which case, rock n' roll. Me and my sister do not switch places, so stop asking. I don't care if you saw her in the hall. She doesn't either. Stop hugging in the hallway. Don't complain about how cold it is when you're wearing shorts in January. Hawaii is a state. Stop assigning homework online, it's annoying. Linkin Park sucks. I can't believe I have to explain this to you.

Rockul progresiv,stil de rock ambitios si adesea grandios aparut la sfarsitul anilor `60 in principal in Anglia ,atingand varful de popularitate la inceputul anilor´70 ,continuand insa ca gen musical si in zilele noastre. Rockul progresiv a fost in mare o miscare europeana si isi are marea parte de influente din muzica clasica si jazz in contrast cu rockul american care a fost influentat de rhythm&blues si country, desi exista si exceptii notabile in Lumea Noua ca si Kansas si Rush considerata de multi ca fiind cel mai bun exemplu al acestui curent. Peste ani au aparut numeroase subgenuri ale rockului progresiv, ca rockul simfonic, art rock si metal progresiv. Artistii rockului progresiv au incercat sa se indeparteze de limitele stilului rock si pop transmis la radio si au propulsat rockul spre punctul in care acesta atinge complicatia jazzului sau a muzicii clasice. Este admirat de fani pentru complexitate, solicitand un nivel ridicat de virtuozitate muzicala pentru a fi cantat. C

when you spend a month living in a totally new neighborhood {being awakened by police helicopters every week at 3am!}, planning a wedding, and flying halfway around the world, you tend to get a little stressed. and boy that sure happened to me! i don't think i've cried, cursed, and experienced rage blackouts as many times in one week as i did right before my wedding! {sorry family and friends} extreme stress also brings out all the anxiety, obsessions and compulsions in me that i can normally manage in order to pass as a "normal" person. there was one night i was so freaked out about germs in my apartment that i had to watch this video. i watch it every time i feel scared or anxious about anything in life. if only i could put googly eyes on germs and airplane turbulence! :)

I've been up to my kneecaps in green tomatoes. Recipes to follow... after I've recovered. Don't get me wrong - we still have plenty of ripe tomatoes, but those are easily taken care of by making sauce. So, yes, we have enough sauce in the freezer to take care of all the pasta I'll cook until next summer. But, today, I saw a recipe for Bleu Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes at The Village Cook . Why hadn't I thought of this before?? My gardener has been away for a couple of weeks. For his homecoming dinner, I served venison tenderloin, sauteed zucchini and these bleu cheese stuffed tomatoes. Ooops. I forgot - he doesn't like bleu cheese. No problem - he ate the tomato and I scooped up the leftover bleu cheese right off of his plate. I think this is the perfect accompaniment to a perfectly done (medium-rare) piece of venison - or beef! I hope you'll give it a try! Stuffed Tomatoes with Bleu Cheese 4 oz. cream cheese 2 T bleu cheese 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 2 cloves g

Because she's obviously a future sadist of Marquis de Sade calibre, Sugary Cynic has tagged me for the 30 Sentence Story, as hosted by Da Kid . Now, while I am quite...used to these two delinquents, I don't condone their behavior. Robert , I choose you! (Pokemon...) Anyway. The Story So Far: 1. Jane never expected to visit Belarus, but it was the only possibly solution after what had happened. 2. Her lonely planet guide had advised her that it was a great place for birdwatching- so she packed her binoculars- Todd would have been proud, had he not been lying in a coma. 3. Poor Todd; Jane remembered the incident so well: he had spotted a rare long-whiskered owlet, had ran out into the street to snap a photo, and had thusly been hit by an ice cream truck. 4. Except the ice cream truck was actually a roasted salmon! 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. The three of them left as quickly as they could and vowed never t

torie from lattes and love is one of those bloggers who knows how to tell a good story, so i was so excited when she volunteered to write a guest post on love. this girl has such a sweet story about her and her current love, it made me go "awwww!" more than once! :) **** When I found out I was being given the opportunity to guest blog while Kim was on her honeymoon, I was excited. Knowing the subject was love made me ecstatic. But when I sat down to write it (this is my 3 rd try) I could not figure out what I wanted to write about. So, I decided to tell you all a story about a boy and a girl. It all started on a football field one chilly fall afternoon – truth be told, it was probably actually the 11:00 a.m. hour, but afternoon sounds more poetic, don’t you think? – in 2006. Our director called the marching band to a particular set of steps that needed some serious work. The boy in front of me was an upperclassman and I a lowly sophomore. I knew better than to think an

(Russian posters are so much cooler) -Bobby Funke (pronounced either Funk by himself or Funky by everyone else, at one point he corrects a guy on the pronunciation, and the guy just says 'No it isn't'. And that was that) is an ambitious wannabe journalist, with dreams of getting into a prestigious journalism program, despite having never finished an article for his paper. Editor-in-chief Clara (Melonie Diaz, who keeps popping up as second banana in these quasi-independent comedies, and frankly deserves a vehicle) gives him an assignement: an article on Paul Moore, student body president (as opposed to class president, which means exactly jack shit). After it is revealed that Paul apparently stole the SATs, Bobby finds himself in the noir his inner monolgue would suggest. -It's like Brick with Rushmore and some Chinatown , if we must play that game. -Mischa Barton is surprisingly tolerable as femme fatale Francesca, former girlfriend of Paul, love interest of Bobby

i'm currently away on my honeymoon {this is a pre-written post} and i'm hoping you guys are enjoying the lovely guest bloggers! i wanted to share one of the loveliest things i've seen lately, thanks to paige at prone to wander {she's one of the love bomb partners}. have you heard of love bomb ? have you ever been a part of it? the concept is simple, but incredibly beautiful ! the idea is to bombard people who are going through a hard time or who have experienced something tragic with love - kind words, encouragement, support, positivity - all in the form of blog comments. how lovely is that?! each week they pick someone and say a little bit about why that person is in need of a love bombing. then you simply follow the link over to their blog and share some love with them. technology has a lot of faults, but i can't think of a more beautiful way to use it for good! through the world of blogging, we can learn about people in need even though they may live fa

Than that would imply reality is real, which it most certainly is not. As a general rule. Therefore, reality is fake, but alternate reality is real, and articifical reality is the most real of all, because it is composed of pure pixel and matter, with no thoughts, feelings, and only the most absolute of logic. Then again, why do we care if we exist? The only use we'd make of the information is to continue existing, except significantly more depressed about the whole effort. Existence is relative to the diseased mind, to which we are all the proud owners, therefore, we chare the same mind, or else, we're all projections of someone else, or they are projections of you, or you all are the projections of mine, but maybe, you all react as you should be, amid the reality set for you, you all act as if you were real, and put on quite a good show, but in the end, you have no minds but what I put in your mouths and your eyes and maybe even your brains. Maybe I'm the master of

-During the First Chechen War, a psychiatric hospital on the border between the Russian republic of Ingushetia and Chechnya, which is already war-torn, is abandoned by its staff, either for buses to transport the patients, or just to escape the approaching Chechen army, the residents of the hospital are left to fend for themselves, frequently visited by groups from both sides. -Protagonist-by-proxy is Zhanna (Yuliya Vysotskaya), a schizophrenic with the firm belief that popstar Bryan Adams (cameoing frequently in her daydreams), falls in love with a Chechen soldier (or bandit, depending on who's inhabiting the hospital at the time), played by Sultan Islamov. -Good lord, this movie's good. The performances--anyway, because about half the cast are actors and half are real psychtiatric patients, and you can't really tell with some of them--are amazing, especially Vysotskaya, who's very sweet. -The screenplay has some flaws, yes, and a lot of the stuff doing on is like an

Hi Friends! This is Alicia from Cheetah is the New Black . I recently got engaged this summer and am in the midst of planning my own wedding. With that said, it has been so much fun for me to read / follow along as Kim planned her own wedding. I am so very excited for her and can't wait to read about her special day and honeymoon when she returns! I would like to share with you a few out-takes of my fiance and I from our engagement photo shoot this summer. I especially love these photos because they are candid, not posed or professional (they were actually snapped by my mom), but they depict us as a couple perfectly. We are usually always laughing, constantly teasing one another (did you see the fiancé's farmers tan!) and completely happy in each other's presence. This to me is love. *** how adorable are alicia's pictures?!?! SO cute!
