I need some movie titles. I go into the video shop and I can't really think of anything I want to see. For the most part, if it is a new release, I probably already saw it in the movie theater. What I am looking for is backlist! Something that is probably over a year old. Older than that is okay, too. It just has to be good. Genres I like: sci-fi action fantasy comedy (not stupid stuff

My parents grew up on a farm so they learned how to fix a lot of stuff. When I was a small child, my parents bought a real fix-it-upper (better called a finish-it-upper maybe). I remember him installing plumbing, doing drywalling, gyprocking, installing fiberglass and hanging cabinets. I asked him recently if he learned that on the farm. He told me he went out, bought a book and taught himself how to do it. I think people can fix a lot of their own stuff
Welcome back!
I recently wrote an article titled, "Self-Learning is Hard". I am still doing on-line tutorials. I just finished one about Adobe Illustrator for web and now I'm working on Photoshop for Web. I am learning a lot. I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements to CS3 and it's a huge leap. I was not too bad with Elements but I'm really learning a lot now. I'm also getting to the point where I don't have to repeat things as much because there is some repetition.  
I had read this when you first posted. Didn't know what to say. Still don't actually. I hope the best for Jay. Really sorry to hear this stuff is swirling around you.
A lot of the tutorials are on Lynda.com . The tutorials with Garrick Chow were really good. Really concise and to the point. Most of the rewind I had to do was because some of this stuff was Greek to me, too. I'm doing some Illustrator tutorials and the teacher is a guy named Mordy at Lynda.com. "Illustrator for the Web" is a great tutorial with the elements I really needed. I'm more comfortable wit
I've been doing a lot of on-line tutorials about how to make a website on Dreamweaver and using Illustrator. I'm really enjoying the process. I'm so excited that I'm going to be able to start producing some of the ideas that have been kicking around in my head for a long time. I'm spending so much time trying to get the hang of this stuff that my butt hurts from sitting in the chair. My legs fall alseep and if I try to walk I fall in a tangled puddle of useless muscl
Actually, there is no tipping in Japan but I don't usually stay in a hotel here.
I tip. Also, if the room service has been extra good or if I asked for something that was a hassle I will leave a bigger tip. I usually leave it on the day I check out though.
That was great! It took me a while to sort out the close up. At first I was thinking that was a pretty soft and fuzzy spider. Kinda cuddly in a not get too close to me kinda way.
good to see you back. Like the photos!
That is a gorgeous blue color. It will look good on you, too.
This ending wasn't the one that King wrote, but on one of the review sites I've read that he really likes it.
What color is the sweater? I can never shape nicely on circular needles for a sweater and I'm horrible at sewing stuff that I knit. I can do basic sewing but not with knit stuff. Make sure you post a picture when you finish. What is raglan? A ribbed stitch?
Yeah, that woman was very cool. Makes me wonder about randomness of disaster or doing the right thing early rather than late. I think that the way that story ended was true horror, not because it was splatter but because the true horror of trying to do the right thing and then finding out that almost every decision made was wrong. Or worse, thinking you're heroic by doing the "honorable" thing and left yourself a horrible death of being torn to peices of have bug
I finally saw The Mist on Saturday night. I know, I know. It's been out forever already. It's not been out so long in Tokyo. It was actually out in theaters last time I was in Canada (January) but I didn't go see it then. I had read the short story by Stephen King. I could never decide if I liked it. I thought the idea of the military opening a hole and bug stuff coming through from other dimensions was a pretty interesting idea. What I nev
congrats on a good race and mostly on the great outlook! Love that attitude. My favorite kind of athlete!
I remember talking to one doctor at a clinic. I had brought a list of things I wanted to ask him about. He was a bit impatient but went over the things with me. Somehow we got to talking and he mentioned that female doctors were less productive than male doctors. I mentioned my surprise and he explained it was because the female doctors spent more time talking to the patients. I barely restrained rolling my eyes because that place was a walk-in clinic 
I was pissing myself while watching this video! Is that Rick Springfield? The part where he pops up awake is HILARIOUS! The blindfold dancing? lol thanks for the laughs and the need to do laundry.
I think your wife and I might be long lost twins! Too funny!
[quote who="Tova7" comment="3"] It shows....now WHAT is it? [/quote] This is a clay character I created called Fletcher Wriggley. I have a plan to make a short little animation with him someday. I made a storyboard and showed it to my husband whose comment was, "That's so sad!" The big problem was not having good software to make the movie. Now the problem is learning to use the software! Well, really it's learning the soft
Thanks for the nice comments. :) I swept up a lot of the dirt but skipped the wet rag part as it was supposed to rain the next day. I scrubbed with a brush while it was wet. Better, but I'm gonna have to scrub the old fashioned way, too. :( There were three kinds of lavender to choose from at the garden center. Crazy! I got the English type which also grows wild (?) up in Hokkaido. I don't really smell the herbs while I'm sitting outside. &n
I finally have pictures of the container garden I started. There's still dirt everywhere. I sweep and sweep and there's still more dirt. Blech. Well, it makes me at least wish the balcony tiles weren't so lightly colored. I've clipped a few sprigs of lavender already and I've used some of the basil
I can't lay claim to the term "charisma man." Check out this link for the charisma man comic . There are some interesting hits if you google the term though. Not so much experience dating Japanese men. Dated the first guy, had a major crush on another who got transfered to Kuala Lumpur, and fell like a rock for the guy I'm married to now. From all that, I'd say ethnicity doesn't really matter but culture
will it show? da di dum dah
