--thanks to YKWIA finding it for me (do you get the idea that he finds the most odd and random things, and maybe spends way too much time on YouTube?)'Peanuts'--Warning, as always, with Stephen Lynch--if you can't handle profanity, don't listen (especially if you have trouble with profanity in juxtaposition with beloved cartoon characters).'Lifes not always a bowl of candy...sometimes you just get a bag of rocks...'

I was underwhelmed by this movie. It was kind of slow, maybe too closely riffed on Walk the Line, had some chuckles and decent music but wasn’t quite as laugh-out-loud as I was expecting. Ultimately, I think Dewey Cox was too much of a disposable character. I didn’t care what happened to him, and so there wasn’t anything underlining the humor to make it either more affecting or more hilarious to me. Contrast with American Dreamz for example, or Thank You for Smoking. (Source: rawbrick.net) - Venus in love
Venus in Love by Yuki Nakaji (amazon) Venus in Love has all the trappings of a typical shoujo story, but the combination of characters and good humor ensure that I’ll be following this new series from CMX. Suzuna is a new college student who is excited to live on her own for the first time. She speculates that she’ll find love with the new neighbors in her apartment building, and visits them with her little brother and some tasty dumplings. Unfortunately to one side of her new place lives a frightening otaku who announces that she looks just like “Miracle Mako Chan”. The answer to her knock on the next door is a loud voice yelling “No newspaper subscriptions!” It ends up being a cute boy named Eichi who promptly gives her the name “Poodle” due to her hairstyle. Eichi and Suzuna end up bonding over take out meals from the convenience store. Suzuna’s best friend at school is Hinako, a popular and vivacious girl who used to go to high school with Eichi. Eichi refused to go out with Hinako when they were in high school, claiming that he wasn’t interested in girls. Eichi’s closest friend is Fukami, a handsome and talented tennis player. The foursome strengthen their friendship when the girls join Fukami’s tennis club. Suzuna quickly develops a crush on Fukami, but she’s surprised when she discovers that Eichi likes him too. She calmly accepts him as her rival in love, vowing not to lose to him. She tells him that he’s free to love anyone he wants. The four friends survive drinking games, a trip to the country, a club fund raiser, setting up their schedules, and mercenary practices involving class notes. Suzuna and Eichi develop a teasing relationship, bantering back and forth about their mutual crush on Fukami. ... - This seems pretty accurate
YKWIA found this and his was very, very right on target. I think mine is as well. How about you?Your Score: Solitary Trickster You scored -14 Extroversion, 14 Sensitivity, and 8 Openness!You are shy and a little reclusive. Big crowds and new social situations make you feel uncomfortable and nervous. You prefer to stick with your close friends and family. You have a large personal space and you hate to feel crowded or overwhelmed. If you have been dragged out to a party, or have had a stressful day at work, you need to retreat to your own private place for a while afterwards to recharge. You are very sensitive, and easily hurt. You tend to worry about what other people are thinking about you. Often, the offhand comments that people make hurt your feelings. You tend to hide your feelings from people whom you are not comfortable with, like strangers, acquaintances or coworkers. You may brush things off with a joke or hide your pain behind a toss of the head. You try not to overreact to things, and you avoid conflict, especially with strangers. However, if you are pushed too far, you can defend yourself with a vengeance. With your loved ones you are quite different. You trust them with your feelings and with them you tend to be more open and sincere. You are loyal and clannish, and while you hide yourself from strangers and acquaintances, you come out of hiding when your close friends and family are around. Or at least, you do for a while, before you need to retreat back into your private place to re-charge. Your daemon would represent your secretive, shy nature, your dislike of conflict, and your ready ability to defend yourself or your friends, should the need arise. He or she would probably stick close to you when you felt nervous or uncomfortable, and provide you with humorous commentaries to keep you smiling.

This One From Last Week caught my eye. Why must we "lure teens" into the library? Doesn't it make us sound creepy? A quick search of some newspaper archives shows me we've been doing it for years!

“La vida es una tragedia si la ves de cerca, pero una comedia si la miras con distancia“. Quién ironizaba asà sobre la vida era Charles Chaplin “Charlot” que falleció la madrugada del dÃa de Navidad de 1977 en Vevey, un pueblo suizo. El chico (1921), La quimera del oro (1925) o El gran Dictador (1940) son pelÃculas magistrales e inolvidables realizadas por un maestro del humor que, a su vez, poseÃa una clara visión del aspecto dramático de la vida.

Just one of those memes found on the Internet, with a Christmas theme this time. Since it is Christmas Eve, it seems appropriate enough.Wrapping paper or gift bags? A bit of both. We mostly use wrapping paper, but there are one or two gifts we put in a gift bag.Real tree or artificial? Artificial in our house. I don't particularly like having to deal with the pine needles. I do like the pine scent, but we just burn a nice candle for the effect. Not that it matters. The cats try to nibble at it anyhow when it comes out.When do you put up the tree?Pretty much close to the holiday. We put up the tree without decorations for a day so the cats get used to it. We then put on the decorations and ornaments. When do you take the tree down?After Epiphany. We do celebrate Three Kings Day (Dia de Reyes) in our household.Do you like eggnog?I sure do. I also like Coquito, which my family back in Puerto Rico always makes. I have not made it in a while. Have to do so one of these years.Favourite gift received as a child?Hmm, I had a few. I
