It's almost like the lessons of the Miss America Pageant are lost on you…

A birthday ending in 0 is coming up, and my father is suggesting getting me a nice bottle of whisky, I haven't tried that many really nice ones, do you guys have suggestions for expensive-ish stuff (in the low three figures)?

Same situation here, ready-made meals are saving my life, it doesn't have to be crap (but it will admittedly not be the cheapest).

Mount Sim - Does She Dance
Fucked Up - A Slanted Tone
Wilco - Standing O
Wilco - Open Mind
Liars - It Fit When I Was a Kid

Congratulations!!

Restaurant sub-thread.

I was wondering if that might be the reason, but didn't think the list was only movies they'd released, I'm once again reminded of what I'm missing.

I'm relieved I didn't have to be the one mentioning it, and a bit sad it wasn't the first one suggested.

Incomparable when it comes to Moira Shearer is definitely right.
I hated it so won't clamour for its inclusion, but I'm almost surprised not to see Black Swan.

There was indeed such an episode in the last season of 90210, but it was really terrible, it was mostly some winks for the audience, and little actually makes a good point that Annie made their life better.

I'm sure there are plenty of celebrities who wish this would set a precedent, 2,000 seems relatively cheap.

Just a couple of movies.
Saw X-Men: First Class it was fun I guess, a few toe-curlingly cringe-worthy lines, the action scenes were ok enough, but i feels more like animation than a proper film, the main difference being that directors of animation have realised a long time ago that the most important part of a movie…

Reading Meir Shalev's My Russian Grandmother and her American Vacuum Cleaner, which so far is a very pleasant and funny family story set in early-mid twentieth century Palestine/Israel.
About to finish Against the Day (fifty pages left), I don't want it to end… but I'll have to as I expect to receive The Bleeding Edge…

Maybe I expected too much, or maybe something got lost on the way, a friend swears that Shake Shack is nothing like the ones she's had in New York.
It was nice, but there is so much competition, maybe they just arrived here too late.

It depends it we'd like you when you're angry.

Just started a new job, and I have a lot more options for lunch. I'll try the canteen eventually, but so far, I've taken the opportunity to try Shake Shack and Five Guys which have recently opened around here.

I realised during the concert that it was the first time I heard it done by someone other than Vladimir Jurowski, so I'll recommend his, without much basis for comparison (although I initially bought it as it was the recommended recording in the guide I'm using).

Yes, it's meant to be inspired by it.
I don't know how much you like Tchaikovsky, but it's my favourite thing he's done (or his fifth symphony, depends on the day); even Lucien Rebatet (French writer of dubious morality who wrote a very opinionated History of Music) while dismissing him wholesale conceded that that…
