She was charming, comical, immediately likeable and imperious without cruelty. I think it's entirely understandable that her performance had been lauded and that she had been nominated for an Oscar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16165949539781966260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-89413769519966760192013-09-07T07:01:44.010-07:002013-09-07T07:01:44.010-07:00Wow; some very fine programs in there.Wow; some very fine programs in there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939881701345686354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-63375915988007856032013-05-12T21:29:26.420-07:002013-05-12T21:29:26.420-07:00There's some Leifs orchestral music on Bis; we...There's some Leifs orchestral music on Bis; well worth picking up.

The one thing I love about HBO, they have so many ways to access their content that you can spend a couple days and get caught up on a season of a show. The show itself I like, it does tend to get a bit too political for me, but the humor in it helps lighten that mood and move on. I know what you are talking about on the timeline, I am sure they modified it to fit more into the show instead of being dragged out for weeks.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489967629180652983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075548.post-12708301797067513682012-08-31T17:05:17.905-07:002012-08-31T17:05:17.905-07:00Paul, proably OK to quote, but I'd like to kno...Paul, proably OK to quote, but I'd like to know specifically what you'd like to quote and where.

Since it was only $0.68 (used), plus $3.99 shipping, I bought it. Should have it soon and will post a note about it after I've read it. He appears to have been a successful writer so I'm hopeful this 2nd book will also be entertaining.rmsackohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674036452292439820noreply@blogger.com
