Kristin, did the name of your old school start with an A?
Name of my old school started with an "M". Name of new school starts with "A".
If you would like a less cryptic response, I could tell you on IM or via email. I'm pixkristin4 on AIM.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Natter 45: Smooth as Billy Dee Williams.

Crap. Woke up to find that my Palm Pilot ran down overnight. I'll be able to recharge and re-import all the data at work, but I feel as though part of my brain is missing, just the same....

Oh my lord. They have a kitten on the news right now who was discovered right after he went through a wood chipper.
After a surgery or two, he's apparently fine. And they've named him Chipper.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ita, if you're going to watch the original Cat People, also watch the sequel, Return of the Cat People (I think). It's at least as good, possibly better (going back into the depths of my memory).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Looks like they're both on the same disc, Toddson! So that's taken care of.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Wow. Cat People is really silly. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I've been expecting it...something more...for YEARS. Not here.
Heh. That was the first movie I saw in Boston when I was down in high school visiting my sister and looking at colleges, so it holds a fond, formative place in my heart. However, even at the time, despite the graphic nature of the film, I knew there was something deeply silly about it. I've kinda avoided seeing it again to hold on to the memories.
At the time, I found the arm-ripping scene really disturbing, but after all the annoying people I've seen Ed Begley, Jr. play (very well) over the years, I'd probably be laughing at that too. The movie did give me a huge crush on Annette O'Toole (and not just for the topless scene), and I was always sad that her career never quite took off.

Sophia, sounds vaguely familiar plotwise (though I think she got off) but the production values were very filmy, not stagey. Beats the hell out of me.
I've got so much to do today. Bah.
I have no idea what the first work of fiction I encountered that had sex in it was. I suspect it didn't make much of an impression and was fairly early, since I had unlimited access to the books in our house and made full use of that fact. Also? Because my mom was pregnant with my brother when I was at my "but why?" stage of development, I had a pretty clear grasp of the mechanics, even if I didn't really get it.
The Sun had an article on the Chinatown buses this morning. Sadly, msbelle, there was no mention of a passenger calling a driver jackhole. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool. I'll have to do that too.
ita, what kind of car do you have? A Jetta VR6?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Agreed. They're both worth seeing, even though Return is a very different movie.

Sweet. Zombie. Jesus. Is your apartment built over an Indian burial ground?
I think the plumbing must be made with the the bones of Indians. Yuck.
