You’re really making me look forward to the writing life. Is there a version of the “It Gets Better” videos for writers?

BTW, I would have drank your whole Grande Americano, no room. It’s one of the more consistent and palatable beverages at Starbucks (or Peet’s).

I just signed up for the tiny little habits.

Yay! I’m glad you like the mug =) I need to get one for myself.

I wish that I’d written as much as other people though I had, or that I thought I had.

Comment on I don’t miss books or bookstores by Diane

I’d honestly be surprised if any of those stores were within 5 miles of my house, because I can’t name one. That Books Inc in Mountain View is 16 miles away. That’s not a minor trip for me; that’s something I would have to plan to visit.

I think littler stores like Books Inc. have a much better chance of survival in the next 5 years, honestly, because of the value they add simply in pointing to books and saying, “We’ve read this and it’s really good.” If you have a staff that actually reads, that’s really valuable. Borders and B&N haven’t had that for years (for the most part–I stopped asking the staff for help many, many visits ago).

Without addressing your larger point, I’ll note that Books Inc. has an excellent branch in downtown Mountain View (it’s where I buy most of my new science fiction books these days), and also one I haven’t been to in Palo Alto. And there are several excellent used bookstores around Silicon Valley (I can think of four without even trying).

The bad language I remember, btw, is “damn” and “bullshit.” “Bullshit” gets screamed twice, I think.

Holy crap! Yes I have and I totally forgot about that! http://www.nobody-knows-anything.com/Dec99/991231.html That’s the movie I remember mostly for how ridiculously gorgeous Jude Law was in every single damn shot. I just reread my review and it’s clear to me why I don’t remember anything else about that film!

Still, he didn’t play a serial killer like the one John Lithgow played on Dexter, where he takes a bath with his next victim and slices her up in the water with him.

Thanks for the review. I was wondering about this movie for my kids.

BTW.. Damon as a psychopath? Have you seen The Talented Mr Ripley?
