Jeffrey and I just love it. And yeah, the soundtrack is incredible! I need to dig that out of wherever I've got it stashed; "mirror in the bathroom" is easily one of my favorite songs ever, particularly after watching it used for that one fight scene.

I missed this. :) Heather, have to agree on GPB. Great soundtrack to go along with it all too. Talking Heads, The Clash, Faith No More... great stuff, and easily Cusack at his best... hell, Akroyd too. Holy crow! I missed this. :)

It had some truly hysterical eps, and did a great job mixing tragedy, comedy, drama, and all sorts of tones. Besides, as much as I enjoy Atlantis, I don't think it could ever supplant the groundhog day episode of SG-1 for me! I have tended not to worry about health issues for the same reason, but I think I don't have that choice now. There's history of heart trouble and late-onset diabetes in my family, and my triglyceride levels have recently gone up rather high, so it's get healthy now or risk getting diabetes. Then my diet and activities would be far more restricted with far less gain. I'd rather do it now! <b>Literary Feline:</b> I would certainly not mind working as a book shelver, say, two days a week or something. I think that would be awesome. Grosse Pointe Blanke really has it all---fantastic writing and acting; great humor and romance; amazing fight scene(s); and so many layers of thought and meaning that you really can find something new in it each time. I really love strong flavors, like the extra-sharp cheddar (in fact, lunch just consisted of grilled cheese sandwiches made with cabot's "seriously sharp" cheddar) and bittersweet chocolate. *happy sigh* I just don't like bland.

Like today. Haha I liked Grosse Point Blank too. It's definitely a movie that can be rewatched again and again. I also liked Serenity. Heroes is my favorite TV show. I really like the new version of Battlestar Gallatica too, but I haven't seen much of it beyond the first season, I'm afraid. Someday I'll catch it on DVD though. It's a really good show. Can we say "YUM!" - "extra-sharp cheddar cheese; bittersweet chocolate; fresh homemade bread" Great response! Book shelver - some days I wouldn’t mind doing just that. Like today. Haha

Great response!

I plan on buying all the SG: Atlantis episodes, too, eventually. I seem to remember start with Atlantis, then watching a couple SG-1 episodes and thinking they're not quite as good. Like the firefly series, it's the humor that makes it so great. I live in Texas, so BlueBell is a no-brainer. I've got a ferocious sweet tooth. Maybe it will get me trouble one day, but I don't worry about health issues. Life's more fun that way. =) I don’t have 300 yet. I plan on buying all the SG: Atlantis episodes, too, eventually.

Which one don't you have yet? Mint choc chip is my all-time fave ice cream, and I have been known to eat way too much of it. I far and above prefer Breyers to anything else because it has such a clean, crisp, natural taste to it. I'm planning on playing around with agave nectar-sweetened ice cream, though; the doc has told me my triglycerides are way too high and I need to stop with all the sugar, and agave nectar is a sweetener with a very low glycemic index. It's worth a try, anyway! Aaron: I never claimed to have great artistic taste in movies, but I don’t care because I have so much fun with the movies I like! Which one don’t you have yet?

I could eat a gallon at once if my stomach would look the other way. I own 3 of those movies and have been planning on picking up the fourth soon. =)
