Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl...

[melcreada]

Listening to Madonna's La Isla Bonita, pretending that I am on a tropical island instead of in a muggy city. Damn, it's hot 'round here! I've had the air conditioning on for two solid days. That is seriously effed up. *grump*

Nooooo one will play LotR Trivial Pursuit with meeeeeeeeeee.

Gawd, I love older Madonna songs. They are my guilty pleasure. <3

I've had the air conditioning on for two solid days.

Come visit us! It is currently 32 degrees (but feels like 26, I have no idea how they come up with the "feel like" index), and tonight's low in the mid 20's. XP

Ooo...read Memoirs first. Then you can join us all in complaining when the movie is released. ;)

Although with this cast, they really can't go wrong.

It's an awesome novel. You'll love it.

John Stuart's book is all kinds of hilarious. I attempted to paw it out of my mother's iron grasp, but alas she carted it back to Tokyo before I could finish >.<

Have you ever read The Tale of Genji? Talk about your poetry mixed with style, romance, wit, intrigue, etc ^^ If you like Memoirs of a Geisha, Lisa Darby (the only foreign geisha blah blah blah ^_~) wrote a great book in a similar style about Murasaki Shikibu's life.

Oh and I'd play the LoTR Trivial Pursuit with you, but you would kick my ass all over the place ^_^

ack I spelled Jon Stewart wrong! eeep I have to prostrate myself in front of Comedy Central now >.<

LOL! Sounds like a plan. Good to see you around, sweetie!

Oooh, it does look like a good cast. Mmmm, Ken Watanabe. <3

*grin* I am having the same problem with JP and the book.

I haven't read it, but I really want to since my brother has threatened me with cruel and unusual punishment if I do not read that and The Chrysanthemum and the Sword. He is a big fan of classical Japanese works. ^_~

Hee! You know, after peeking at a couple of the cards, there are actually a few questions that I didn't know. So you never know...

*evol grins*

Woo! I'll worship at that alter ANY DAY!

*must use Jon Stewart iconage*

And remember to bring that LotR Trivial Pursuit with you. *beams*

I had to twist both arms and both legs for Steve to just sit down and watch RotK EE with me. It's only 4.5 hours long, what's he complaining about? :p

Shah! I KNOW! Don't they realize it's an honor and a priviledge to be with someone who is a fan of the greatest triology ever?!

^_______^

Will definitely bring the game!
