Have you ever heard of something having crannies without having nooks?  Just what is the difference between nooks and crannies?

So, I've decided that I really enjoy doing Masterpiece Theater of Tragedy entries.  I wanted to ask my readers... what should I do next?  I'd love to hear some suggestions, and am just masochistic enough to subject myself to some pretty awful films.  Just remember that what makes a good Masterpiece Theater of Tragedy entry isn't just a bad movie ( ( Read more... )

Ok, I've about had it.

There comes a point in time when one must admit that if you can't beat them, join them.  Forest Gump always summed this up as, "stupid is and stupid does," which I feel more accurately reflects the reality of things.  While perusing an entry in xianjaguar 's livejournal today, I finally decided it was time to admit defeat and join the ( Read more... )
