“Cujo in a good way or bad, rob????????”
I love Stephen King (nh), but Cujo was not one of his best efforts. And Christine was just plain unreadable.
The Stand is definitely my favorite Stephen King book, and one of my all-time favorite books.
And, IMHO, the mini-series of The Stand is a pretty good adaptation considering the length and complexity of the novel. And you just can’t beat the opening scene with Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” playing in the background.

OMG totally forgot to tell this this morning… last night there was a broker (i assume) showing an apartment in my building to someone. i was taking my dog out and she goes, there are a number of large friendly dogs in the building, it’s very dog friendly. the guy is like oh nice looking dog and then my dog went all Cujo on them. i was like omg sorry he’s normally very nice and stuff. (he is). he just doesnt like when people point him out or pay him attention.
my dogs birthday(guesstimated) is next week. he will be ten.
“DH – did you watch that Nassau state of mind link I sent you”
no – went out after work and wasn’t in any shape to operate a computer when i got home – i emailed the link to myself though! haha – i can only imagine!
Do you have a novel started? No one really comes who isn’t actively trying to complete something. You’d have to email us all 10-12 pages and we’d read it and comment on how we think it’s going and what we’d like to see more of, less of, etc., and you’d explain where you were going/shooting for. We just added two newbies and I’m afraid the chemistry is getting a little tainted. You might be a balancer.

I think Linda Carter is beautiful, but not hot (to me – but I’m a woman so what do I know)
I mean hot babes are Angelina Jolie, beyonce
