Movies that I frequently get mixed up, in various combinations, in my head:

Little Children
City of Lost Children
Children of Men
No Country For Old Men (okay this one's not quite as confusable with the others)
City of Men

Nevermind that I've only seen 3 of them.

I went snowboarding a few weeks back. It was fun, but I don't know if I'll go again this season or ever try to get that good.

The Johnson Museum (free!) has a really ( Read more... )

There's nothing quite like the feeling of inserting a brand new contact lens. Mm...

I've got EndNote going on for me. I kind of love it, because every now & then I am really anal-retentive about this sort of thing. Thanks for the discussion previously folks ( Read more... )
