    Just acquired this one; it's a Volupte. I usually hate anything to do with spiders, but this I love.

    Harold Lloyd fans?

    When was this? My friends and I saw this in an old Schenectady in May of '08. The organist told great stories afterward, and a lovely time was had by all. Perhaps it was the same guy?

    Esquire Magazine

    Working in a major bookstore, I can safely say that this is 100% true. If I had a dollar for every woman that comes in specifically to buy whatever was on Oprah that day, I'd be a rich woman. Makes you wanna scream, really. No one wants to go to the trouble of browsing around and choosing...

    Fictional Character Crush

    I read Jane Eyre when I was fifteen, and I've been in love with Mr. Rochester ever since. Jay Gatsby and John Thornton (North & South) vie for a close second.

    Esquire Magazine

    I was directed to this article due to the fact that it talks about the very real possibility of Borders Books disappearing by 2010. (I work for Barnes & Noble.) However, it also mentions that Esquire will most likely be gone by then as well. What a shame. Perhaps they should have gone the Maxim...

    Yesterday, I was lucky enough to be handed an Advance Reader's Copy of the new novel from Carlos Ruiz Zafon, who wrote Shadow of the Wind. It's calledThe Angel's Game, and I couldn't be more excited about a new book from an old favorite.

    You MUST choose. No waffling.

    Fleischer. Most definitely Lloyd.

    Warner Brothers Archive

    I saw this today, and I think it has great potential. Warner Brothers Archive :eusa_clap If this means I might get The Crowd on DVD, I'm all for it. There aren't many titles available at the moment, but hopefully they'll keep expanding.

    What Are You Reading

    I just started The Kindly Ones by Jonathan Littel. He wrote it in French a few years back, and it won a slew of awards in Europe. Briefly, it's about the life of a Nazi during and after WWII. It's a doorstop, so we'll see how long it takes me to get through it. Wish me luck!

    Typewriter ribbons.

    I also just bought an antique typewriter, and I was able to buy ribbon for it at Office max. I don't know what office supply stores you have over there, but they'll probably have it as well. If not, you could always get it online.

    Favorite Romantic films from the Golden Age

    Maybe it's a little inappropriate for a day that celebrates happiness, but I love Brief Encounter.

    The best of the black & white motion pictures?

    You have awesome taste. WofD was the first foreign film I ever saw, and it is something I still watch regularly. I'd like to put Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast on the list. For my money, it's the most beautiful B&W film I've ever seen.

    I just bought an Underwood No. 4. I know very little about it, but it does work. Can anybody out there fill in any gaps for me?

    The movie was better than the book

    Rebecca I tried to like the book, I really did.

    Show us Vintage Connoisseur Items!

    Thanks- I love him too. I wish i had the guts to use him, but I don't think I'd want to drink anything out of him anymore...:D

    I got the part!

    Awesome. Have a great time with it!

    Dr Martens

    Best pair of boots I've ever owned... black 10-holes. I got them in 1990; they gave up the ghost in 1999. Hell of an investment.
