I find most of his stuff to be quite interesting - but I get what you mean. I'm totally a Sergio Palleroni and Frank Lloyd Wright girl but I enjoy the artistic-ness of Gehry.

lol!
Now I'm going to think 'starch-itecture' when I see a Gehry design.
I read it as Starkitecture and wondered when Iron Man was showing up...

Fat shaming, bad jokes and crickets...What do these things have in common?
Drake hosting the ESPY awards. O_OThis is horrible, horrible, horrible and my husband is torturing me by forcing me to watch it.
It's painfully embarrassing.
Drake always gets crickets from me. He sounds monotonously constipated. Every. Song.

Canadian rapper hosts American based sports entertainment channel awards show?
In what world does that make sense...?
Drake, Beiber and the Mayor of Toronto all embarrass me as a Canadian. Sorry, all...

It was atrocious.

My condolences. Unfortunately I am not lucky enough to be able to ask who Drake is.

*cries* I know the feeling.
I need one more friend for that stupid Simpsons game. Any takers, just PM me. I really want that task out of my list. It's literally killing me having it there. :)
I've heard the name, but I don't really know anything about him.Being uncool has its advantages. ;)

Lucky. One of my co-workers at my last job LOOOOOOOOOOVED him and subjected us all to his "music" whenever possible.
^Ewww. That sounds terrible. I am thankful my musical taste stopped evolving for the most part in 1996.The Simpsons Tapped Out. It's a collecting and organizing game. You get to build your own Springfield which is super fun. I'm trying to build the racetrack and Captain's houseboat right now. It's a nice bit of trivia as you go through quests from the series sometimes.

What's perplexing is that on GMA and the radio they were commenting about how great he was hosting.

That is cool.
Just thought I'd throw this out there...There are a few old classic movies that I love. Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, any John Wayne movie... I've been making an effort to pick up a few missed classics and watch them and/or re-aquaint myself with others I can't quite remember. I know I've watched African Queen with my Dad when I was a kid, but couldn't tell you much about it. Same with Ben Hur, Gone With The Wind, Cleopatra, etc. So I'm starting with Casablanca. But, what about My Fair Lady, Laurence of Arabia, Bridge Over River Kwai, Breakfast At Tiffany's? Anyone have some favourites they'd recommend?
The same goes with children's lit. For a voracious reader, there are huge gaps in my childhood. I was at the whim of what the local librarian felt like buying from year to year, or what was available when I went in. I've read all the Roald Dahls and Lloyd Alexanders, but no Judy Bloom. Neither have I read Matilda or Harriet the Spy, although I have ordered the latter. I still have to get caught up on Watership Down as well. So again, appealing to your wisdom. Are there any classics you'd recommend my picking up?
Have you seen Roman Holiday? It's a chick-flick/romance, but it's pretty good. I love Audrey Hepburn.
I haven't, but I'll check it out. Thank you!I've seen many documentaries about Audrey Hepburn. She seemed lovely, and did great humanitarian work. However, I've never seen a single movie that she's in. Perhaps this is the one!
It's my favorite, of the ones I've seen. Breakfast at Tiffany's was ok, and Sabrina was pretty decent.We could probably start a whole thread on classic movies.
Chris,They had a 3 in 1 DVD with Roman Holiday, Sabrina and Breakfast at at Tiffany's. I love Gregory Peck from To Kill A Mockingbird. Can't wait to see him in a romance! Would people be into a classic movie thread?
Nicki,
I'm going to look up you list and pick some to start with. I love animal books as well as fantasy. I've been eyeing up The Borrowers for ages as well. If you enjoyed them, I'm at a book store tomorrow. Perhaps that's where I'll start. Thanks for the advice!
Laurel, I'm a sucker for The Sound Of Music. You're probably familiar with that.You mentioned John Wayne. Have you seen The Quiet Man?
I'm also a fan of Gregory Peck. For a western have you seen The Big Country? Another favorite of mine is Twelve O'Clock High...but that may be more of a guy flick. He's great in '56's Moby Dick. There's also an interesting little movie that's not so well known from 1953, The Million Pound Note which you might like.
Another of my all time favorite movies is the 1936 My Man Godfrey with William Powell (but avoid the 1957 version). Along that line I also LOVE The Thin Man. It also stars William Powell along with Myrna Loy. Most of the sequel Thin Man movies are good (though the last is a bit weak I think).
