She looks mid-late twenties, well past pedo prime.
Comment on My Pet Snail Gary (2008-11-06 15:52:08)
He's a very tiny snail. About 1.5" in full length and his shell is less than a cm in diameter. :) We found him when we took out the old AC unit and locked him up instead of setting him free back in the garden.

@storminator: I'm just chalking this one up to differing tastes then. In my view, most novels follow a "formula" if one author pumps out enough of them (Steven King, Dean Koontz, Dickens, hell even Shakespeare and Homer get 'familiar' when you read their other works). I liked Crichton's books MORE than the film adaptations with only 3 exceptions. So no one can convince me that the chameleon velociraptors from the novel version of The Lost World were worth cutting from the film. Point is, I wouldn't call him a hack. It's a term I personally reserve for people who are "posers" or attempt to ride the success of others in a pathetic hollow mockery of what they are trying to achieve (like the writers who destroyed teh DragonLance series). TBH, I don't care for most 'generic' sci-fi and can barely bring myself to take any of it seriously unless I go in expecting paranormal fiction and no real "science" to speak of. To each their own; I will miss his work.

@reboot: He wasn't a 'hack' because he wrote something outside of the generic formula. Science Fiction is simply a work of fiction written within the bounds of known science (laws of physics etc) and not including things like dragons, unicorns or magic elves. The fact that science CAN fail and have negative results in the real world, makes his work a different type of sci-fi, one that borders on dystopian fiction. If you want to read 'hack' sci fi, start with L. Ron Hubbard and... well.. anything he wrote. I recommend Dianetics. It's a fantastic comedy and definitely a rip-off and insult to everything ever published before 1950. Just saying.

@mintymadness: Don't apologize. Most of us here grew up with Congo, Andromeda Strain and Jurassic Park. Many others imitated his work and few came close to it. Crichton had a wonderful way of writing Science Fiction that felt real and believable in a 'this could actually happen' sense. For this talent, he will be missed.

If I gave this a 5 star does that mean I'm glad? I mean, I never forgave him for his novel->script adaptations of Lost World and Sphere... TT_TT
Comment on OMG OBAMA (2008-11-05 14:45:25)
@dieAntagonista: Prop 8 passed? In fucking liberalville California? I am both surprised and disappointed. Who's going to go out and annul all the transgender, post-op weddings; starting with Jamie Lee Curtis... I'll never understand how they plan on "enforcing" this b.s. law. It's a "don't ask, don't tell" policy which just forces homosexuals back into teh closet and back into drag.

@dieAntagonista: I agree with most of your post except: "atheist is a lack of belief." This is untrue. Agnostic is a lack of "belief", but atheists fully BELIEVE that there is not higher power or god(s).

I'll be fully satisfied once we stop swearing people in and under oath on a fucking Bible.
