I love Krabo

Krabo, your signature??

I don?t think I?ve ever been quoted before. I almost feel honored.

Well, I liked your line and wanted to immortalize it.

You should be honoured Riikka, I have never been quoted in Krabo's signature. I'm tempted to go off and sulk now.

From your list of books, I've read about half of them. I forgot to mention that I like a lot of classics too. I'm especially fond of Jane Austin. I will have to check out some of the other ones I haven't tried from the library.

I will go through your list of singers later today.

Yes, pole is demanding. After the first class I could hardly move for two days. I'm getting more used to it now, but I still learn tricks from the ground. I also know my limitations, I don't think I'll ever be able to do the tricks where they drop down the pole from a great height, and then stop. One distracted moment and I would be in a heap on the floor. I'm regularly covered in bruises though. Yielding human body v metal pole means that pole wins most of the time. If you ever get the chance you should give it a try though - it's seriously addictive!

Sylkat - I love Terry Pratchett. I remember when I was a poor teenager and I used to fare-dodge on the trains. One time I had my headphones on listening to music, and when the ticket collector came round I had my nose in a book, pretending I had been there all along. One time I was reading Terry Pratchett, and I kept laughing hysterically at the funny bits. I remember one commuter looking at me as though I was quite mad, but he looked a bit jealous that I was getting away with it, and having fun.

Okay, I?m officially honoured! He seems to change his signature very often though, so I?m not expecting my writing?s newfound immortality to last very long.

Which one of Austen?s is your favourite? My favourites were Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey.

Also, have you read the latest disc world novel? Many people who have reviewed it have said that it?s very different from all the previous ones, some have actually been disappointed. Apparently the Alzheimer?s has affected his ability to write to the extent that he needs quite a lot of help from his assistants, so his writing isn?t the same anymore. I?m still looking forward to reading it though. But it?s so sad that he has to be affected by something like this, for an author it?s probably one of the worst things that can happen when your mind and how it works has been your life, your talent, your source of income and it just starts deteriorating and there?s nothing you can do.

Maybe I?ll give pole dancing a try if I can find a dance studio that teaches it! Dancing really is addictive!

Yay, more Austen fans! Even though I prefer non-fiction to fiction, growing up I used to love reading 19th century English novels. Pride and Prejudice is definitely my favourite Austen novel; I also enjoyed reading George Eliot.

Pride and Prejudice is definitely my favourite. The BBC series actually interpreted it very well (Colin Firth as Mr Darcy ) and I recently found that on youtube in Italian, so I have been watching that recently.

Colin Firth in Italian. lol

Do we get to see pictures of your dog and cat at some point?

Did you know he has an Italian wife, so he does actually speak it fluently?

Here you go:

Yes, yes, Colin Firth is an excellent actor, but I got really, really mad at him in 'The English Patient'.

A superb film, by the way.....absolutely haunting.

I didn't know that! He really is a man of many talents then. I have to find a video of him speaking in Italian now.

And your pets are SO adorable! That's exactly how I'd want mine to be, that they get along really well and can provide each other with companionship

The dog looks protective of the cat.

Are they Mooms' own pets?

No, she crept up to a stranger's window and snapped photos of their pets.

She did not trust us to appreciate her collection of domesticated wolverines and Star-Nosed Moles.

Is the dog planning to have the cat for breakfast?

Did you not Google images of Star-Nosed Moles?

That was supposed to be payback for Bone Vodka.


The dog is just worried that the cat will eat all of the dog's food.

Again.

Those ★-nosed moles look cute. Wanna one!
