Baraka is now on my Must Watch List (and felt syrupy to be reminded of the Before Sunrise trilogy). I wish I had known about it when it first came out! I got a mighty 5/12 on the international food brands through sheer guess work; yowza, I hadn't heard of a lot of those brands! Downloaded the Wil Wheaton podcast (just watched all of Big Bang Theory this past summer; definitely makes ya Team Wil!). And going to walk and list to new LoLT now :)

That quiz was a tough one! I hadn't heard of so many of those things. But now I want to try them! (Except for the sodas. Fun fact: I'm not really a juice or soda person.)

I hope you enjoy Wil Wheaton's podcast! The first story was so so so good. I'm listening to the new one today on my walk.

I know, right?! How can there be that many things that literally billions of people use daily, and I've never heard of them?? Living is humbling. I don't do soda/juice, either! I loooove tea, though (coffee makes my rosacea flare--the shreds of vanity I clutch!).

So much good stuff!!! And I’m hands down no contest a 2005 P&P fan! Persuasion is my favorite book but this movie adaptation is a favorite movie top ten

Right?! I know everyone gets really excited about the Colin Firth rising from the water thing, but the 2005 version just really hits me hard.

I’m much more about our Darcy striding, in the open shirt, big coat billowing behind him(we’d not seen that side of him before), across the fields at daybreak towards Elizabeth!!!

Mel, I read Glorious Exploits for another book community I am in. It is also on that British debut list and I think that is definitely your jam.
