"nu.nl/net | Virusexpert: Providers zouden virussen moeten bestrijden". Mooi niet, dat zoekt iedereen maar lekker zelf uit. Ooit van briefgeheim gehoord?

Ridiculous! » "MEGADETH have been banned from performing in MALAYSIA and their new album 'THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO' removed from record store shelves after the country's government branded their imagery unsuitable."

Just received the virus three more times. Don't you love e-mail? Sigh.

"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

I've abandoned A Long Finish by Michael Dibdin. It wasn't terribly interesting, and I wasn't in the right mood for it. But I deceided not to reread Jean Auel. I've read it way to often and it's to heavy to carry around every day (I can't wait for e-books!). So a trip to the library last night resulted in The Skystone (Camulod Chronicles, Bk. 1.) by Jack Whyte. Yes, you guessed it, another Arthurian legend. What is it with me, that I can't read enough about it? Anyhow about this one » "In a time preceding King Arthur and Camelot, two Roman men, Publius Varrus and Caius Britannicus, Arthur's great-grandfathers, try to preserve the best of Roman life and build a new culture out of the wreckage of the old and, in doing so, create a legend." Here are some epinions.

And Coyote Ugly (2000) » "Sexy, romantic comedy about a girl in her early 20s named Violet Sanford going to NYC to pursue a dream of becoming a songwriter. Violet gets a "day" job as a bar maid at a nightclub called Coyote Ugly. Coyote Ugly is the city's newest hot spot were the employees are a team of sexy, resourceful women that provoke the clientele and press with their mischief." And here's a link to the epinions.
I gave 'em both a 7 at the IMDb, though I'd rate "Keeping the Faith" higher if I could add percentages.

Rented Keeping the Faith (2000) » "Best friends, a priest (Norton) and a rabbi (Stiller) both fall in love with the same girl (Elfman). However, neither of the men can pursue the relationship due to their religious beliefs: the priest cannot break his vow of celibacy and the rabbi cannot marry her since she is not Jewish." Read the epinions.
