Perhaps the author of "Dirty Book" could try writing a Harlequin/Nascar novel?

In 10,000 words or less!

Off to work. I think I will wear my Official Tony Stewart Boxers today.

How can it be NASCAR without crashes? Isn't that why you watch the race?

I watch the commercials ABOUT the race?

Are any of the drivers over 5'7" tall?

Glad to see that DR elmore made it home safe and sound if just a bit delayed. Hope you had a good night's sleep, Larry.

I don't see where it says CLICK TO BECOME A FRIEND OF THE BRAIN.
I see where I can add it to My Friends - even though I don't have anything on my personal page yet.

You click to add it, and then if Boo-key approves you, you are added.

I'm off for awhile, sounds like the rain has stopped although the wind is howling. I lost a big limb yesterday. I can't figure out if a tall truck hit it or if the wind just took it, but it's laying in my yard like someone set it there

Jose, have a great Oscar marathon

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #44 on:** February 24, 2007, 05:26:40 AM »

As for my Oscar predictions... Even though I haven't seen all the contenders for Best Film, I really do feel that there is no obvious winner this year. -Heck, after "Crash" won, all bets were off. After I see all five today, I'll be able to post a more educated and informed opinion.

The one category I'm truly wondering about is the "Best Song" one. I'm trying to figure out if the three songs from "Dreamgirls" will end up canceling each other out. And as much as I would like Jennifer Hudson's song, "Love You, I Do" to win, it really wasn't the best thing in the movie, and if a song from "Dreamgirls" were to win, I'm betting it would be "Listen" - based on Beyoncé's name recognition.

How can it be a Romance novel without sex? Isn't that why you read them?

Harlequin has several divisions or genres or something. I think one series of books has sex (maybe that's why there are so many of them!

) but the original ones didn't. My ex-mother-in-law read them all. We tried to write one of our own so I read a few in preparation. It's basically the same story, different people. Kind of like an episode of Scooby Doo.

Jose, have a great Oscar marathon

I hope it is. I think the key will be remembering to walk and stretch between movies. From the looks of the schedule:

Babel 11:00 a.m.
The Queen 1:45 p.m.
The Departed 3:45 p.m.
Letters From Iwo Jima 7:00 p.m.
Little Miss Sunshine 9:45 p.m.

...It looks like we only get about 15 minutes between movies. -I guess I won't be staying for all the credits this time round. At least I've already seen "The Departed" and "Little Miss Sunshine", so if I need to take a break, I can. However, I'm going with my buddy, Mark, and he hasn't seen any of the nominated movies this year, so... -Strangely enough, however, he has seen a bunch of the documentaries, the animated features, and all the Foreign Language nominees. Go figure.

However, I believe the big key to surviving the day will be controlling my consumption of liquids... If you get my drift... And I'm pretty sure you do.

Edisaurus · « **Reply #53 on:** February 24, 2007, 05:37:04 AM »

The old-school Harlequins had metaphors/similes that were used so often, they were clichés, and we used them a-plenty. "He crushed her mouth under his"..."His arms tightened around her like steel bands"..."His resolve stiffened" (I may have made that one up...).

Anyway, I think the NASCAR angle opens things up to a whole 'nother set of metaphors,"well-oiled machines" and the like. Oh, wait... no sex. Damn.

Just remember to bring your "Stadium Pal"®!

OK... I need to take care of some stuff around here before I head down to 42nd Street... But I'm sure I'll get at least one more post in before I leave the apartment for the day.

Laters...

I thought David Sedaris was kidding about stadium pal (when I saw him do a reading about it I almost needed one I laughed so hard!) but apparently:

Maybe you can pick one up on the way to the theatre!

Saturday morning greetings! It's a work day for me - all information-waitressing.

DR Elmore - glad you're home safe & sound.

DR Jose - DH Richard and I used to try to see the 5 nominees for Best Picture, but not all in the same day! Have fun!

DR Cillaliz - Hope the weather comes and goes before it has a chance to interfere with your travel plans.
