For everything about Thirteen. I know there is already a community to 13, but I wanted to run challenges of this one, for fic and icons and the like, if people are interested.

I remember nothing except: at one point, a girl and some friends are jumping up and down, waving their arms and shrieking.

They explain to someone (brother?) that they are playing at being the flying monkeys from "The Wizard of Oz."

This may be a really silly question, but i cant help but ask.

The newest Sh game. Is it called Sh5 or Sh:homecoming?

The enemy aggressor is always pursuing a course of larceny, murder, rapine, and barbarism. We are always moving forward with high mission, a destiny imposed by the Deity to regenerate our victims while incidentally capturing their markets, to civilize savage and senile and paranoidal peoples while blundering accidentally into their oil wells and metal mines.
-- John T. Flynn.

Everything in war is barbaric... but the worst barbarity of war is that it forces men collectively to commit acts against which individually they would revolt with their whole being.
-- Ellen Key.

When we're talking about war, we're really talking about peace.
-- George W. Bush.

The love of one's country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?
-- Pablo Casals.

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know even one life has breath easier because you have lived.  This is to have succeeded!

A member of a Silent Hill forum that I am a part of has compiled all of the new trailers featuring gameplay and the third version of Alex into one video. Enjoy!

So I was on the train, with a book I wasn't sure I'd like. I duly gave it a hundred pages, then decided life was too short, and turned instead to the other book I'd taken with me as a back-up -- Summer Knight.

The Dresden Files are my current favourite 'palate cleansers' -- that is, books I can rely on to be enjoyable and (relatively) quick reads, in between the other stuff. It's strange: although that other book wasn't the worst-written I have ever read, I've never been so glad to start reading something by a writer who knew how to achieve the effect he wanted. And so I was back in the world of wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden.

In this, the fourth entry in the series, Dresden is 'hired' (or , more accurately, bound) by the Queen of the Winter Court of the faeries to investigate a death which proves to have implications for relations between the two Sidhe courts, which may in turn threaten the entire world -- and, wouldn't you know it, someone's after Harry again?

One thing that concerns me about these long series that build up an elaborate background is that they'll get too big for their own good. For example, thus far in The Dresden Files, there's been mention and/or appearances  of Red, White and Black Courts of vampires; Summer and Winter Courts of faeries; the White Council of wizards; and that's just what I can remember off the top of my head. The plot of Summer Knight draws quite heavily on this background, and at times I did wish for a good ol' supernatural mystery without all the embellishments. Yet I also couldn't help being charmed by some of Butcher's twists on the material (the queen-in-waiting of the Winter Court is a girl with dreadlocks and a T-shirt that reads 'OFF WITH HIS HEAD'); and the story itself was as entertaining as ever -- just as I'd expected when I took it with me on the train journey.

Really working the student look, there.

 

Hi all.  I read a book sometime within the last two years that I really enjoyed but can not remember the title or author.  I was hoping someone could help me find it.  I don't know how old it is but I would think that  it isn't that old.

The book is a contemporary romance.  he most basic plot is that a woman will only inherit her father's estate if she goes to live in some small town.  There she falls in love with the lawyer her father hired to handle his affairs in the town.

Additional information that may help you figure out what it is:
+  the lawyer at one time lived int he big city but decided to move back to the small town he grew up in
+ there is an older woman in the town that use to be a pianist who ends up being the women's grandmother
+ the women stays in the lawyer's house while he stays in his parent's house while they travel the US

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.
