1. "You Can Count on Me" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203230/)
2. Nonfiction: Under the Banner of Heaven, Jon Krakauer; Fiction: Disgrace, J.M. Coetzee
3. Billy Bragg and Wilco, "Mermaid Avenue" (http://www.woodyguthrie.org/mermaid_avenue.htm) (lyrics by Woody Guthrie, music by B.B. and Wilco), 1998. One of my favorite songs on the album is "She Came Along to Me." (http://www.sing365.com/music/Lyric.nsf/She-Came-Along-To-Me-lyrics-Billy-Bragg/24D4257166EBEC2D4825699A002C335D)
4. altaego (Be nice to her, though; she's one of my best friends.)
5. One of my favorites is lechon asado (roast pork), with rice, black beans, and fried ripe plantains -- a Cuban meal.
6. You've probably already seen this one, but here it is (http://www.markfiore.com/animation.html) anyway.

1. Zhang Yimou's Hero. Because I want everyone to see it and agree on how pretty it is. Or Triplets of Belleville.

2. Diana Wynne Jones' Fire and Hemlock.

3. Del Amitri (especially Change Everything and Twisted)

4. melymbrosia for smart posts

5. um. Roast duck.

6. I can't think of this one.. most of my internet time is now spent on LJ!

Recommend to me...
1. a movie

I liked "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind", the new Charlie Kaufmann film, romantic and thoughtful and horrifying all at once. Still haunts me a bit.
The story is basically about a man who discovers his ex-girlfriend, whom he still loves, has excised all memories of him from her mind, so he decides to do the same thing.

2. a book

Dorothy Dunnette - if you've never read her. She's a fascinating and detailed historical novelist whose tales take place in 1500 Scotland. The Game of Kings - first of the Lymond Chronicles is about a man who has been exiled from his country and seeks to clear his name during the English/Scotish border wars in 1540s when Mary Queen of Scotts was 8 years old.

3. a musical artist, song, or album

I've just discovered the Songs of Tom Lehrer which are wonderfully subversive and comical. Another favorite is Aimee Mann's Lost in Space album which reminds me a great deal of Suzanne Vega's music.

4. a LiveJournal user not on my friend's list

Hmmm...not sure whose not on your friends list that's on mine? Do you have superplin? She's fantastic.
Also I've watching discuss writing - which is a nice link to have.

5. what I should have for dinner

Here's an easy meal - wrap chicken, a few vegetables of your choice, season with salt and pepper, and wrap in tin foil - fold corners over - put on a cookie sheet, cook for 20 minutes in a 425 degree oven, and eat. It cooks in its own juices. Very easy and good.
(Mom taught me when she was visiting)

6. a website

tough one - http://everyonewhosanyone.com/index.html

[oursin.livejournal.com]

1. Les Enfants du Paradis
2. B J Salterberg: The Outlander: Captivity
3. Les Arts Florissantes' recording of Purcell, The Fairy Queen
4. Maybe diony.
5. Grilled peppers.
6. The Icelandic Phallological Museum (http://www.ismennt.is/not/phallus/): because no-one could make this one up.

Hmm let's see...

1. King Rat, 1965. My vote for the sweatiest movie ever made. George Segal, back when he was sexy, stars in a WWII POW movie. It's really about class and gay subtext (the last part is mainly my opinion)

2. Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami. Sweet, sad and lowkey.

3. I just listened to a song from Andrew Bird's new album "Weather Systems." He has a very Rufus Wainwright sound.

4. herself_nyc has a great fanfiction WIP going on her journal if you're into that sort of thing.

5. Well I'm having a chicken empanada tongight.

6. www.homestarrunner.com check out the Strong Bad emails for very funny cartoons.
