Decide which things you were taking? Perhaps not one of each, but (for example)a<I> few</I> favorite books, etc.? <BR/><BR/>Was this a "travel lightly" scenario or were you able to make a more traditional move where you got to bring a lot of belongings?<BR/><BR/>Just curious.<BR/><BR/>I recently urged my bookshelves down to one shelf of my favorites. Donated all the rest to the library. It's a tough thing to get rid of books for some reason...Lots of stuff I liked, but had to honestly assess I would never read again...Matt Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327257618252847036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-1146155457498040032006-04-27T11:30:00.000-05:002006-04-27T11:30:00.000-05:00Those opposite picks sound right to me.

Though I'd probably put one of the "Left Behind" books in there instead, since I've never read "Hannibal."Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-1145981696252900362006-04-25T11:14:00.000-05:002006-04-25T11:14:00.000-05:00Opposite picks (the things that would be in my own...Opposite picks (the things that would be in my own personal hell...):<BR/><BR/><B>Album: </B>I think I'll go with... Kid Rock. He really kind of pisses me off.<BR/><BR/><B>Book:</B> Thomas Harris' "Hannibal."

I will take "Homicide: Life on the Street." Best show ever on television, hands down. I can only think of ONE episode I don't like, and it is still better than the best "Law & Order."<BR/><BR/>The Simpsons are tempting because seasons 2 through 5 or so are great. Season 1 kinda sucks, and I gave up on the series about ten years ago. That DOES mean I would have ten years of new material to enjoy, but I know much of it will be sub-par...<BR/><BR/><B>Album:</B> Incredibly tough. Earlier this week, I was listening in the car to The Posies' "Frosting on the Beater" and thinking it was a perfect album. It is. <BR/>I would probably take that. <BR/><BR/>I might once have said Little Feat "Waiting for Columbus" but I find myself skipping those tunes when they come up on the shuffle lately. <BR/><BR/><B>Book:</B> Also very tough. I'll go with James Ellroy's "American Tabloid." It's like the "Homicide" of books. (Not counting, of course, "Homicide" the book...)<BR/><BR/><B>Film:</B> Probably "Pulp Fiction" It's not the best movie of all time (but very good), but its probably the one I'd enjoy watching over and over the most...It brings everything to the table.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.com
