My passengers never fail to give me funny looks though when I play it (and don't sing along). It's from when Tarja Tarunan still sang with them, Sleeping Sun.

I laughed reading the tid bits of this post. I swore I would never own a smart phone. Who needs those apps? This year I got one when my plan came up for renewal. I have always said I would never trade a book for an e-reader. The phone came with Amazon Kindle. :/ Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-29674938629274373992014-04-16T22:35:05.320-04:002014-04-16T22:35:05.320-04:00I've watched super 8 like a bazillion times wi...I've watched super 8 like a bazillion times with my kids.

I love a character-driven story as well (both reading them and writing them).<br /><br />I'm not hugely familiar with Nightwish's music but do know a bit of it. I am however a massive Lacuna Coil fan, and while they're not symphonic metal, their early stuff is more gothic metal and I just love that stuff.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927558937796802496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-90505541463508213302014-04-16T20:39:41.675-04:002014-04-16T20:39:41.675-04:00I'm with you on the space thing; I like air, t...I'm with you on the space thing; I like air, too!

Lovely to meet you, Samantha. <br /><br />Wow, I didn't know that about the first synthetic organ transplant, Alex. Gosh, this world has a lot of knowledge in it, doesn't it? <br /><br />I mean just think of it. Kinda scary. They were talking on the news that there is someone somewhere who could sit at his computer and take an airplane off it's course and crash it. That's way too much knowledge.<br /><br />I'm with you, Alex. I'm a Jesus follower. Not a religion or church follower. We're starting a cowboy church here on our farm. His Grace Cowboy Church. :-) Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-36407226569339059472014-04-16T20:35:32.524-04:002014-04-16T20:35:32.524-04:00Alex, you're a fellow cell phone phone resiste...Alex, you're a fellow cell phone phone resister! For years I've gotten along just fine without one, then at Christmas my brother got me a basic, emergency-type cell, which I'm glad to have. But it's seriously basic, which means no internet, no photos, and happily no texting. Resist texting forever, Alex!Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-88871446450294066982014-04-16T20:32:30.261-04:002014-04-16T20:32:30.261-04:00I feel completely old and uncool, but I must admit...I feel completely old and uncool, but I must admit I had to google both symphonic metal and prog rock.

We have another thing in common - resisting mobile phones and then getting an iPhone. (I am often an all or nothing kinda gal). I wasn't going to get a phone until little Sarah (at age 6) broke her leg on the slopes. She was with hubby and wanted me. He had to leave her with ski patrol to find me. We got phones after that for all four of us.Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-77048853153428466732014-04-16T18:13:30.802-04:002014-04-16T18:13:30.802-04:002011, the year of the IWSG :).
