Next week I'll move on to science fiction, which, if we don't count stuff published in the 1950s and 60s (I love Bova and Heinlein, but SF is by its very nature forward-looking, not back, and the kids of today need SF that takes them even farther than the SF world they're already living in), will feel like a very short list. But hey, look at this huge list we just created! Maybe it won't be so short after all. So, behind the cut you'll find the list you all helped me make. It may not contain eStrays
The Steel Book version of Strays has one of the more misleading packages of any movie in recent memory. If you pass it in your local video store, you’ll see an aggressively gaunt Vin Diesel glowering at you in black and white against a backdrop of New York City. The title of the movie is printed in stark, menacing, capital red letters. It’s a cover fit for any gritty urban crime drama. Then, of course, there’s the metal case, which defines this incarnation as the Steel Book version. It’s a tougThe Rest of the Story
Over the holiday I sat down to watch one of my most favorite childhood movies, The Wizard of Oz. I was anticipating to be swept away with Dorothy in the cyclone, land in the colorful world of Munckinland, a little scared of the Wicked Witch of the West with her Flying Monkeys, and finally relieved when the Wizard announced he himself would take Dorothy home. It’s always been a sort of magical movie that even as an adult I immensely enjoy and always look forward to watching.As I settled in and stNotable Moments in Exceptional Parenting, part 64
First, a little background information for you, before I can share my Notable Moment in Exceptional Parenting. Get ready. Aaand…go. In the past year or thereabouts, we've gotten into the habit of reading longer chapter books to Henry at bedtime. We read "The Wizard of Oz," "Stuart Little," and so on. At some point he spied a volume of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" at the library and we were then coerced into reading all thirteen volumes of those. When we were done, Scott told Henry, "If yObama's Privileged Few
Red is the color Birdie Obama seems attached to. He loves red Marxism and in economic devastation to the United States, he loves spending to literally bankrupt the United States.For all of the liberal howling about George Bush's rebate checks and tax breaks going to the "rich", I was looking for one liberal in Congress to howl how their and Birdie Obama's "stimulus package" only goes to the privileged few and not the many.I remember telling Bush haters often and frequent to please return the rebFollow the Yellow Brick Road
Good Morning! Thinking ahead to the finished items for this weeks challenge- I sketched a small picture of Dorothy on the yellow brick road- she has taken the first steps on her journey to visit the wizard and is walking with determined strides down the path. She's excited and hopeful but a little bit frightened and unsure- she thinks about the amazing and improbable events that have just taken place- landing her house on a wicked witch, for heaven's sake!!!

I’ve yet to experience the absolute joy that I suspect one would feel by opening a pack of 1972 Topps baseball cards. Instead of collecting baseball cards, the majority of my free time as a seven-year-old was spent trying to comprehend the jokes being served on television programs such as Sanford and Son, M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show and Fat Albert - all of which premiered that year. What can I say? I was a kid and my priorities were unformed. In fact, chances are that I would still sometimes pGoo oup o.
There is a series of books the boys love about Martha, a dog who eats alphabet soup and then is able to talk. Delightfully drawn and cleverly written we have all enjoyed Martha.Martha has a love of words and a low tolerance for nonsense. Martha and I have a lot in common.In the third installment, Granny Flo decides to eliminate half the letters in the alphabet soup severely limiting Martha's ability to communicate.

The debut of lil’ WWTW is mere days away … or sooner. And while I dream of taking him to the new Yankee Stadium and doing other fun father/son stuff, I also can’t wait to show him some of the movies which had a profound impact on me as a boy. And no, I don’t mean “Midnight Express.” So here’s the most subjective list I can offer — the top five flicks I can’t wait to watch with my son. “March of the Wooden Soldiers” - It’s the film I cherish most from my childhood - Laurel and Hardy takingmemory lane
While visiting "The Little Apple" last week, I couldn't help but drive Preston around and show him my old stompin' grounds. I thought I'd spread the love to ya'll too.We lived in Kansas and check out out the name of our circle...It is funny, I believe, that we lived in Kansas on "Oz Circle", but the even more ironic part of the story is that I'm from Kansas and I've never seen "The Wizard of Oz" in it's entirety. So I truly have no idea why people always say, "Dorothy, You're not in Kansas anyWicked Wednseday!
I have been truly spoilt this past week. Last night i went to see Wicked with this amazing chick. WOW! It was big! It was green! (always a good thing :)) It was loud! I loved the costumes and i will never watch The Wizard of Oz in the same way again. I wore my new shoes which are of course green, perfect for visiting the Emerald City! See more participants here and make sure you wish Fi a happy birthday!Rediscovering Kansas
by Qandishah Brown ” Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore” anybody would recognize this line form the famous movie The Wizard of Oz. But this state has come a long way from how it was depicted in that movie years ago. You will find that it is no longer a place that one would want to escape in hopes of finding something better somewhere over the rainbow. In fact you will find that Kansas has so much to offer. Located right in the middle of all states, Kansas is known as the Heartland. LiMy interview with Eartha Kitt
The world lost an extraordinary personage when Eartha Kitt passed away on Christmas. Her literal rags-to-riches life story was an inspiration to generations and her legendary camp portrayal of Catwoman in the Batman TV series made her a gay icon. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview her years ago when she was in Denver performing as the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella. I hadn’t had much experience interviewing celebrities at the time and from the research I had done I had seenIs it just me or is the room spinning?
The upside to living 1/2 a mile from work? I get to go home for lunch. Is it bad that I had some wine for lunch? Gimmie a break… I’m having an absolute SHYTE day. I feel like SHYTE (but I still look cute!) So one glass of wine at lunch does not a lush make me! Hell, I didn’t even finish the whole glass, sheesh.

Now that we have some idea of what success should feel like, we dive into the current state… and explore specifically why you haven’t achieved your goals yet. My approach to this subject is a bit different than most others. I agree with many other authors that the simple answer to the question, “What’s my problem?” is, “Your attitude.” But here I take the question one step further and try to uncover why your attitude is where it is. True, we all have our good days and bad days, but it’s not teTrillion-Dollar Hard Times
