People always lament bad film adaptations of good books. But what are some examples of superior cinematic adaptations?

Both versions of Never Let Me Go are great, but the film is one of my top 5, while the book doesn't rank in any personal 'best of' lists. It's such a terrifically sad story, and the movie does it justice with beautiful cinematography and near perfect acting.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this show, because it's pretty far from what I'd normally watch. Tariq's storyline is by far my favorite.. can't wait to see where it goes next season.

Spanakopita is my go-to potluck dish. Always gets eaten :)

Geologist! During field season, I work for four weeks and am off for two. A few people at my company opted to take extended leaves this winter too, for traveling.

A week before my period hits, I'm always insatiable. If you keep track you could see if your appetite is related.

Back to work as a geologist in southern Labrador. Daily long hikes, rocks, and black flies.... can't wait!

I have no advice, I just wanted to say that being one of the few fatties at Coachella this year is a huge motivator for me. Goal: beach body for Coachella 2013.

Also, congrats! You look great!

Same thing here at the same time. First my fan went in under a year, then a few months later the new fan AND the motherboard pooped out. The battery was always a piece of shit. Stupid HP.

A few weeks ago I had a ridiculous 3 day binge. I snowballed into a calorie machine and decided that since I was already cheating, I may as well eat ALL the bad foods. My binging was completely mechanical and habitual; the satisfaction I got only lasted as long as I was shoveling food in my face. Us bottomless pits could binge eat forever- you just have to not eat. It sounds stupid, but it's totally mind over matter. Eat within your daily calorie allotment. Don't be afraid of feeling hungry. A delicious, low calorie, filling food that stops cravings does not exist. If it did, you would probably binge on it.

I printed out a monthly calendar, and now my goal is to not break the chain. I want to have as many good days in a row as possible. It's also handy for jotting down your progress in the gym. I also track with LoseIt, but bad days are forgotten so easily there. With the calendar, I can quickly see how many days I've been successful.

Good luck :)

My class went to the Racetrack Playa during a field school, and it was awesome. It actually took some searching to find stones with trails, and the trails were generally quite faint.

If you google "Halifax consignment shops" you'll be able to find a few (off the top of my head, Put Me On Clothing and Formerly Yours Boutique). Call ahead. Basically they'll choose what they want to sell, and when/if it does sell, you get a percentage of the money. I've never done it myself.

Looks like I have 1199 comics to read tonight. Thanks Mr. Laren!

For some reason, before closing an internet browser, my mother thought she needed to click "back" until she returned to the homepage. Luckily she only searches for recipes and obituaries, so it wasn't that much of a time-waster.

Similarly, my mom keeps her laptop on this thick glass baking tray to protect the kitchen table from her acer.

Haha I relate to this- I remember once scrambling to get the plastic-wrapped bear spray out of the bottom of my backpack, pulling the safety tab, and having the bear be long gone.

Man, sounds much better than my combo of tuna, tzatziki, and balsamic vinegar today. Flavor combination fail.

Ugh... Since Monday I haven't been able to stray too far from a washroom, and on Tuesday I was puking my guts out. Along with the sore throat, full-body aches, and absent appetite. But if it's the price I have to pay for Coachella, it's totally worth it!

Hey! I know, we've got a crowd! I'm traveling with some Newfies, so if you see a Newfoundland flag in the campground, stop by and say hi :)

How was the crowd at Florence + the Machine? Packed, or easy to get up front?

HA! Let's just say choosing weekend two is probably going to be the best scheduling I've ever done in my life.

SungTongs · 1 month

SBTRKT's conflict with GY!BE and Miike Snow and Bon Iver (although minor) still has me scratching my head. If only it was possible to be in 4 places at once :/ Still hoping they tweak the schedule for weekend 2.
