"The Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they've printed below.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read only six and force books upon them."

I don't think I know anyone who has only read six of these, or if I do, and they have, then it's because they've been reading other books instead.

I'm all for beautiful lashes, really, but this seems a little... weird.

I mean, the idea of attempting to carefully apply something to my lashes while it's *moving* seems... dangerous.

Opinions?

Jiggle your way to prettier, fuller lashes.

You laugh, but this happened to me:

I was so excited to repurchase the Slayers in DVD form, finally, after many years of loving my VHS tapes into oblivion. (I think they may have been my first anime purchase... ever.)

You are a Firebender!

The first firebenders were taught by Dragons. To the Fire Nation, fire represented destruction and anger was central to firebending. True firebending involves balance, emotional stability and inner calm, as fire truly represents life. Firebending draws its power from the sun and is stronger during the day, strongest during Sozin’s comet which arrives every hundred years. Firebending is not possible during a solar eclipse.

Which Element do you Bend?

In other news, Beloved and I watched the end of Avatar together, and while we'll be buying the boxed set to finish the collection, I'm pretty sure that the entire creative team from the series suffered simultaneous, ongoing concussive brain damage throughout the third season. They have our sympathies, and we wish them the best during their recovery period. We're pretty sure the surgical removal of Shyamalan from the movie will only speed the recovery, and are sending flowers and cards to let them know that we care.

Happy birthday, grak182!

I think my favorite part is getting to be the greeting. It's been Hey, Hej, and now:

From: Pfeiffer Grandchild
Subj: :((( (I guess that's when you're sad and have many many chins)

Hoi,

So... many of the tvs that I see in Best Buy are widescreen and hi def... (It's pretty hard to find a regular aspect tv now, it seems.) But many programs/dvds aren't, which means that many of the shows, when played on a hi def tv look warped. Some tvs don't adapt for this well, either. They either show things at normal size, which is the correct aspect ratio, but takes up only about half the screen, or they blow up the image to fill the screen, making everyone wideassedscreened.

This is going somewhere, I swear.

Since many dvds are just plain old definition, and many people aren't going to rebuy everything in their collections just to have a matching hi def set for their hi def tv, I predict for a few more years everyone is going to spend at least some of their time staring at wide-screened programming, adjusting something in their brain to view it as "normal."

I wonder if we can expect that people will slowly start to get away from their weight-mad prejudice because of it? If you watch a fair amount of tv that has been stretched to widescreen, you eventually don't notice it anymore; it doesn't feel "wrong" anymore. And granted, while Squatty McFattyson suddenly becomes as thin as a rake and as tall as a building when she lies down, it doesn't really register.

I wonder if we, as a nation/culture, will start to view curves as the way to go for sexy and spend less time idolizing starvation chic?

If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the Internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Okay, put yourselves in my shoes and imagine that you like this comic and care about what happens between the characters shown here. You just do.

Now read this page and the next one (the last update)... http://www.haru-sari.com/by8w45/story/17/20.php

We certainly should. Take that Kirby, the Bibble is strong with this one.

So, I really love kaytilake's new community-thing. I think my tendency to want to fix things is actually going to make it hard to post to, though. Or maybe in some cases it'll make it hard *not* to post. There are a bunch of the entries that could have been written by me at different times in my life, but I learned and grew, and hopefully became a better person. (I'm trying very hard not to post my unasked-for fixit solutions.) Some of the entries are so obviously a fault of the author that I want to shake him or her and say "YOU. ARE. BEING. DUMB. Knockitoff!" I'm working on my tolerance. I need to do that.

Some of the posts are how I feel right now, and I don't feel so stupid and alone because there's someone else out there with the same words in her brain.

Heh. It's nice to have a place to vent. I'll be happy to take advantage of it.

You've made a good thing.

V: Check this out.
Blitz(?): Oh god, that's awful! Why would you watch that?
V: I didn't. I heard it was awful, so I wanted to test it out first.
Blitz:(?): I hate you.

So, a long time ago, a friend posted this in her LJ with some comment about how awful and traumatizing it was.

I share it with you. Or maybe I share it with your friends as you check the quality through others first.

Our downstairs sink backed up. Long story short, the guy who finished our basement was an idiot. That doesn't quite cover the foulness though of the black sludge and the stench that came out.


But then Oni named it, and it's so much more evocative.

We have been battling the Necronomisink.

Grr. Some days are just... no damn good.

I barely remember this poem, but I can't remember who wrote it. Also, I'm not even sure I'm remembering it right, let alone the line I *know* I'm missing:

On the nature of infinity
of broken mainsprings lost
a world shattered shimmering shines
a sea of muddy frost
signifying nothing overall
one meaning clear throughout is seen
*something something mumble mumble* (space? truth?)
and angels slinking slimy green.
