I'm about to start Twilight by Stephenie Meyer...

I just watched the movie tonight.  I have the book coming in sometime this week from amazon.  I never really understood what people were saying about Robert Pattinson the guy who plays Edward Cullen until tonight.  He is like a 12 hour bucket full of hot monkey sex ain't he!?  Dang I felt like I should have myself arrested for drooling that hard over some guy that was born while I was getting ready to go to college. :hyper: :drool:

Just finished Michael Palmer's The First Patient. I was reading it Saturday and couldn't put it down.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

"My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I've finished two bags of M&M's and a chocolate cake. I feel better already." – Dave Barry

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Stephen Lawhead's "King Raven" trilogy is very good. It puts a spin on the Robin Hood myth. It sets Robin hood in Wales a generation after the Norman invasion. The second two books are the best.
Let nothing trouble you,
Let nothing frighten you. 
All things are passing;
God never changes.
Patience attains all that it strives for.
He who has God lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.
--St. Theresa of Avila

Re-reading Atlas Shrugged.  I've a feeling we're there much sooner than we think.
