This year for my birthday, if my friends asked me what I wanted, I said "your favorite book". Here's some of the loot.

My 4 year old would lose his shit.

"MAMA!!!! MAX!"

I went on a field trip with 150 Korean elementary kids. These were EVERYWHERE. It was adorable.

And Jeremy Renner just made short, picky list of ladyboners.

I shall tuck him in between Ewan McGregor and JGL.

Oh good god... now I have that image in my head.

I found the whole movie to be a giant, overrated plot hole.

But the zero gravity fight scene was awesome.

I have no problem finding peanut butter where I am.

If you're interested Chingu (Friend) is a great Korean movie about organized crime. It follows four childhood friends. It's a damn good movie.

I have a friend who worked in a coffee shop in L.A. for a while and JGL used to come in. She said he was the sweetest dude, they would talk about books and stuff and he always remembered her name.

There are these great old books called the "We Were There" books. There's one called "We Were There at the Battle of Great Britain". I remember reading it at about that age and really loving it. Library should have it.

Ugh. I get so sick of this argument. I hear it from my friends all the time.

I love classics. It's not pretension, it's what I dig. I've read all the Jane Austen novels multiple times, everything Dickens wrote, everything by Dumas and most of the Wilkie Collins, Ann Radcliffe and Samuel Richardson. The reason certain books get mentioned time and again is because they are AWESOME.

You're also judging these people based on ONE book, maybe this book is their favorite but they also read a ton of slightly trashy novels. Hell, in addition to classics and non-fiction I read tons of sci-fi and I read all the Sookie Stackhouse and Sandman Slim novels. But if someone asked me to give them my favorite novel, it wouldn't be a Sookie book. Sure, they're fun as hell, but they aren't my favorite.

Haha, I've been a voracious reader since I was a little kid. Whenever we would go on a trip my parents would hit the library and my dad would go through his books.

He gave me The Shining when I was ELEVEN and we were going on vacation at a resort.

I like your friends.

2 of my favorite books are on that shelf!

I don't live in the U.S. anymore so I'm not sure where you would buy it in bulk there. I order online.

I don't enjoy being touched while I'm sleeping. I'm okay with a snuggle before passing out and after waking up, but when I roll over and assume, "Sleepmaster 2000" position don't.touch.me.

Sometimes it's nice to be able to sprawl out by myself. We don't have the room for two beds anymore. :( I love being close to him, I just seriously dislike being touched while sleeping.

My husband and I do this. A blanket for each.

Back when we had a bigger place we had separate beds. We generally shared one of them, but every once in a while it was nice to be like, "OY! You with the cold feet, into the other bed."

LOL, I think it's all about where you start. For me I had to start with the first season of the "new" ones (Christopher Eccleston) to get into it. It's totally a show that builds.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies (and gents?). I'm talking to a friend of mine who is a crazy at sewing (and much faster than me). I think we're going to tag team this project.

That does look like a pretty good base pattern. Thanks for the suggestion!

I watch Hetty Wainthrop Investigates. It's another Brit show about a lady detective. It used to air on PBS when I lived in the U.S.

I usually watch Doctor Who while knitting because my four year old loves it too.

Doctor Who, pajamas, hanging with the kid and knitting? It's the perfect Saturday night.

Those are pretty awesome. My 4 year old space nerd son is loving them.

I'm going to have to break down and buy a sewing machine. Doing everything by hand just takes forever.

Working on the sonic screwdriver!
