Natter 46: The FIGHTIN' 46
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The hell? Firebomb like thing at hebrew univ near me. Geez people. Chill. Please. I don't have an opportunity to judge stupidity at trial for a whole 'nother year!
To reiterate: PEOPLE STUPID. POX ON THEM ALL.

On my resume, where do I put "Author" and how do I document that?
You do a different kind of resume, and put your writing experience on the top, and your dayjob work experience below and less emphasized.
Basically you have a Writer's Resume which is separate from your Regular Job Resume. So list all your popgurls and online writing stuff.
Romantic scenes: The Big Sleep - the banter between Bogie and Bacall (over horses). Also! His scene with Dorothy Maguire in the bookstore. He comes on like a nerd, and she sees its an act and she takes off her glasses and...
Xander buying Cordelia the Prom dress.

Does that look like ass?
Thank you, you guys!
Strega, that is such a smart point.
Along the lines of what Strega said, the scene in the diner in "The Zero Effect," when he tells her stuff that sounds an awful lot like it might actually be true, and then
forgets the receipt!!!
Oh! Oh! TV: In "Coupling," Steve's speech about looking at naked bottoms at the end of "Inferno," or rather the end and the bit just after, with the realizing what he's just said. Both comical and romantic! Actually, quite a lot of Steve stuff on "Coupling."
ETA: Oh! The, um, the scene in "Truly Madly Deeply" where, uh... actually, I can't so much think of a particular scene for the romance. For the total sadness, and the heart-touching followed by comedy, but not so much the romance. Other than the scene with the Pablo Neruda poem, which, well, having brought it to mind I think I'll go off and cry now.
Rio, I just had a conversation about Lloyd Dobler with a (boy) friend. He was all pissy that really, if any guy did the thing with the radio, it'd be creepy and stalkery.
I concur, but I think the point, and what makes it unbearably romantic (to me) is that he remembered the song she casually pointed out was on the radio after they had sex and he remembered it. It was important to him. Mostly, the boys I knew in high school (and college, and, well, now) wouldn't remember that, or what color my eyes were.
For me, it's that he remembered all the details that boys can't be arsed to remember. Or at least the schlubs I fuck in the back of cars.
Does that look like ass?
No - that's exactly right. And put your fandom organizing stuff under there too, because it's related to your writing. Gives a fuller picture of your organizational ability and reliability etc.
The Sure Thing is on cable right now and it has a lot of nice little moments. Cusack talking about the stars. Him teaching her how to shotgun beer. Lots of sweet chemistry, really.
The most touching thing my ex ever said to me was comparing me to his cat. So in real life I'm all about the comedic romance.
The, um, the scene in "Truly Madly Deeply" where, uh... actually, I can't so much think of a particular scene for the romance.
Two from that movie occur to me: When they play that song ("The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine") together, her on piano and him on cello and he's playing the cello like a guitar; and her with the New Guy when they're doing the hop on one foot tell each other a fact about themselves thing.
