LOL-I sympathize for all who are spouses of engineers... I'm married to one, too. If I suggested we by a self-cleaning litter box, there would be major objections in the house, he would insist on "building" one. It would weight about a thousand pounds, have about a billion screws and cost ...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hillary Swank won her Oscar for "Boy's Don't Cry"-and it was well-deserved! Finding Neverland was wonderful, sorry you missed it!

Almost walked...should have walked out (but didn't)..on:

Solo- with Mario Van Peeples. My brother picked it out-his movie picking privledges have been revoked indefinately.

Exit to Eden- saw that with my husband (boyfriend at the time) and his mom-talk about awkward!

There is this commercial about nail fungus and some little creature that lives in the nail. It lifts up a toenail and digs in and the toe nail starts flaking off. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I have never been more freaked out by a commerical. Can't change the channel fast enough when that one is on.

FYI- This is the most recent update... I said that I hoped to have the book done by the end of the year. Famous last words. No, it's not done, though I am getting closer. I have more than thirteen hundred pages in final draft form and another hundred or so in roughs or fragments, but there are still...

As if you can go by book illustrations...I didn't realize TC was a hunchback either!!

He he, that illustration always bothered me. At first I could tell if it was actually TC or a sandgorgon.

I agree with the PP that suggested Steve Buscemi, he gets my vote. Definately an anti-hero. I think his has wonderful range-he can play creepy bad-guy (the Sopranos, Fargo, Resevior Dogs) and lovable geek (Ghost World). Anyone who had seen him in Ghost World would have to agree that he would make a ...

Yes, for heaven's sake man, read it! Of course I am an SRD fan, or I wouldn't be here. And I'm not going to fuel the debate on which author is better than the other (JRRT or SRD) because they are both brilliant in their own right. First of all, the Hobbit is nothing like the LOTR. After all the LOTR...

Happy Holidays everyone!
You're right, this is a time to be thankful for family & friends (even if they drive you nuts sometimes).
Love & Peace,

Thaale, I understand where you are coming from and it does make sense. Say producers opted to film the Chrons as a television series rather than feature flim (s). You could have a committment of at least one season, say 20 episodes with just the first book. This would allow the script writers to be ...

Ok, if indeed someone out there is seriously considering making Chrons into a movie, I have some requests, no, demands. And I'm sure other fans do as well. I know we would all hate to see our beloved series ruined by Hollywood cliches, bad acting, ect. So, here it is, Mr./Mrs. Screen Writer/Producer...

I was hooked after the very first chapter, honest. Then I got to the Jamie & Cerci plot and it was like "well, I've never read anything like this before...." It reminded me a lot about English history. As my professor said "These were not happy families..." Anxiously awaiting...

Wow, my Latin teacher in high school would have loved this!

Very cool, I admire your talent. The best poem in the Chrons., too.

Hi Balor,

I'm from Texas, too. I live in Houston. We go up to New Bransfels every summer.

Welcome.

I've never read the series, but I'm hoping that it is better than the miniseries. It stank! Horrible acting-cheesy special effects, I could hardly get through 30 minutes of it. What is with Ged flaring his nostrils all the time?

This part of the story carries a lot of political and social undertones... Yeah, I agree. In Runes, the Haruchai appear to me like Nazis. Someone (wonder who? Hilter=Lord Foul?) put a bug in their ear that everyone else in the land were just a bunch of dolts, and that they in all their superiorness...

Not a very creative title for this site-but here is my attempt at a TC influenced poem. The Unbeliever They turn to me for salvation Give me their useless faith Expect me to perform miracles But I don’t even know this place They hail and bow and offer guidance My report only feeds their sorrow I can...

Hi everyone, A few months ago, I started a poetry website. The purpose of the site is to "provide every aspiring poet the opportunity to share their soul and beloved words with the on-line community." I'm just trying to get more exposure and get the word out. If you are interested in readi...
