ringsandcoffeeSwiffer wet cloths, you are my hero. The kitchen floor is FINALLY clean.
Little betta man's name is currently up for vote on FB: Skinner or Frohike. So far, Frohike is winning 2-0.
90% of the time I'm a book-before-movie person. Sometimes, however, you need the movie to appreciate and/or get the book. Latest case in point is Our Mutual Friend. I tried to read it a few years back, and gave up 90 pages in. Dickens loves to have a million characters in each novel, at least in three of the 4 stories I know. After finally watching the OMF miniseries, I'm hopping all arouund the book. The books I've been reading for 4 years now were written before movies existed, so they weren't written with screen aspirations. I'm able to go back and read the details even a 6-hour movie can't completely convey. What John sees in Bella, how Gaffer died, and the feelings behind Lizzie's facial expressions make sense now.
/book nerd.
The clean floor seriously makes my evening. I keep looking over at it. Now, I must go check the name votes.

Re: N&S appropriate
Date: 2011-01-22 11:55 pm (UTC)I asked my sister what she thought of N&S and she said it was a 6.5 out of 10. I was outraged (jokingly). I think she'd need another viewing to understand it. She had the silliest questions lol.
