HAhahaha, at least it's not one of those photos that might haunt you until you figure out exactly WHAT was going on. I'm guessing a few braincells were lost that night :)

You borrow that Deep Purple DVD off Jon yet? His comments on CFR has certainly got my interest, might have to hunt that out!

Billy~I'm wondering how you managed to remain unscathed by the bog roll? And the stickers? Are those stickers? Can't make out what they are, but they look funny as hell!
Do your tatts have some kind of magickal force that protects you from bog roll?

There's something in the fish lens trick. There's got to be some kind of gadget you can make utilising it's enlarging capabilities.

A day of wonderment for me.

Love and hugs, Lisa xxxx

Book ~ Winnie-the-Pooh. The real Pooh Bear.

But I really wanted to be Arthur in "The Sword and The Stone"

i'm with you on the nerd-tip. i've been dragging my ass around work all day, my eyes are insanely blooshot from staying up all night playing Fight Night 2. and all i have been thinking about all day is getting home and playing again.

funny you should mention 'that wonderful Peter Pan world' because my favourite book growing up was, in fact, peter pan.

and my intrest in the deep purple documentary is definately piqued, too!

That for showing us the picture . It is funny.

I've always loved where the wild things are. And any Dr. Suess book

I'm sorry I missed chat on Sunday - I had planned on making it, but something came up. Oh well, next time.

Billy, that picture is pretty funny - it's like "Mummies Gone Wild" or something.

As far as a favorite childhood book, I recall that in the 3rd grade, the teacher read "Around The World In 80 Days" to us, 2 chapters each day after lunch. The story really sucked me in for some reason. Honestly, I can't remember all the details any longer, but at the time I couldn't get enough. Couldn't wait to hear the next chapter. And it gave me the courage to go to the library and pick out a "grown up" book to try to read on my own. I picked out "Oliver Twist". And thus began my love of Dickens.

And as I sit here typing, the wind is absolutely howling outside my window. Yesterday afternoon it was 65. Tonight, it's 18, with a wind chill of 0, and we had snow & ice today. What is going on!

Billy, What is the Pop Will Eat Itself song With the words there's no love between us anymore?

Matt

My favourite childhood book was The Velveteen Rabbit. I absolutely loved that book. It turned me into a little bookworm and I've been reading things constantly ever since. How did I go from that to Tommyland though? haha

I don't remember having any books read to me, but around grade 3 mom started giving me Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. I loved those and devoured all I could find. When my neice was younger I started giving her Nancy Drew books as well, and reread them myself. LOL I'm an avid reader and go through 30-40 novels a year at least. Always have!

hugs,
tina

I loved the acoustic song on Saturday night, It is rare on first hearing a new song that I like it that much, "Machine" really hit the mark.
I would love to join in the chat one night, thats if I can kick Lisa off the pooter, (I wouldn't really do that as she loves it so much) not only that she may beat me up.

No books ever took me to the netherworld, is was always music.

First was the Pistols when I was a pre-teen, I haven't been the same since.

I loved the first Little House on the Prairie, Bobbsey Twins (?), Trixie Belden, some book called Across Five Aprils, Linnet, and then, Little Women. I know, such sissy books.
I developed a taste for the macabre once. I read Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King, and Joseph Wambaugh. In case you have never heard of Wambaugh, he, in my eyes, is the definitive chronicler of the LAPD of the 70s.
oops, sorry, I read Dick and Jane.
jezzi

Jezzi, I too read the bobsy twins and trixie belden, they were my sisters but I read them as well. Also read Joseph Wambaugh and was a huge King fan as well. In my teens I got into horror books and he was the best.

fyi, the doheny forum is back up and running so come on over. ;)

My favorite childhood books were the Little House series.... I loved those books. My favorite was "The Long Winter". The description of how the family survived a winter with just some wheat - which they ground daily and made into one loaf of bread a day - I found fascinating. I think it started my lifelong love of history.

Yeah, talk about geeks.

Speaking of which, my newest favorite TV show is the new "Battlestar Galactica" on SciFi.

OK, I'm a super geek.

PS my favorite Deep Purple album is Deep Purple. Chasing shadows, Blind , Lalena, Why didn't Rosemary? .... etc. That shit rocked.

Jezzi - I think I've read all of Wambaugh's books. The most recent one (I think) was "Fire Lover", that was pretty interesting. Did you read that one?

zannebee, I love the new battlestar galactica, didn't know if anyone else was watching it. ;)

David is watching it Tina. He loves that show.
(he's going to feel so good when he sees other people are fans too!)
I get special quiet time when he's watching that show.

lisa, is that the special quiet time you get for talking to the little voices in your head? ;)

As a kid I used to read the 'bring 'em back alive' stories or Will and Roger Hunt by Willard Price. These 'Adventure' novels would involve the two young lads nipping off to some foreign land in search of animals for their fathers animal farm. He'd then sell them on to zoos and circuses. They were great and I recently got to re-read some. They're hilarious, blatantly homo-ertoic in places, and it's great to see these young conservationists just nip out on a days trip and find exactly the animal they want within two feet of their camp. The adventure is usually in the form of the poacher gangs who try to steal all their animals. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a laugh.

Incidentally it transpires Willard Price was secretly supplying the US government with Japanese troop and navy movements throughout the Pacific on all these so-called research trips for the books. A US Pam Eyres?
