Happy De-Lurking Week!
Wanted to de-lurk and say hello.
Hello!
Hmm, I'm not sure what to make of the fact I'm the only one who's filled out your form.
I'll join you later, David. I need more time in front of the pc before I fill it in. Alan's got an exam paper to do at present, so I can't spend a lot of time on the pc...I'll be back...
[Didn't mean to sound like Arnie - sorry]
It's a fun list and no one wants to play except David. I am feeling a bit unloved in blogworld, but that's ok, I mend quickly.
Thanks to acu for the list!
David-When are you going to finish that time machine? After the dozen or so books lurking around the house, I plan on reading Stephen Hawking's books. melvin and i went to see Aguirre with an orchestra playing, years ago it seems.
Gotham-very interesting, i never thought of the pic that way. Hmmm, I like that. I'll be over, probaly have to print it out and read it.
Lilly-
It will be fun to see your list. We have one computer too, so i know how that is.
Right then, finally -- I hope my replies have been worth the wait [though I wouldn't bet on it]:

Yea-Lilly played too! here here to positive thinking. Creatives have such a hard time with that one. We all need a little positive thinking fairy to come around and tap us on the head.
Your soundtrack is a fine one. I t's so simliar to my 4 albums I couldn't live without. The Good and tha Bad huh? You are a toughie. I almost put some Chow Yun Fat movies in too, but it's so hard to narrow them down. Get Carter though-a super classic!
LOL @ "a toughie" :-D I just love the so-called spaghetti westerns and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is by far my favorite. Plus I've always had a thing for Client Eastwood!
Yes, Get Carter! Oh; damn good stuff. I remember Alan going on and on about this film and I knew for years, that I had to watch it -- finally it was on Danish telly and boy did I fall in love with it instantly!
