Little Girl Blue

Here are my top 2:

1. Hungry is the man who finds salvation in a cookie.

2. Support literacy; buy a box of fortune cookies.

No joke. :) I saved both of them and they're stuck to my fridge now.

What do you feel has changed in our culture to account for this? It seems like all of the couples I know are living together, but no one is married anymore. Do you think it's really about money, as this article suggests?

Here is an older article that addressed the trend:

I'm sure this has been asked a billion times before, but why does Hollywood remake so many Asian films? I know that there are remakes other foreign films, but they seem to be stuck on Asian cinema for the time being. It seems that every big Asian film must be Americanized. Here's a brief list.

- The Ring (2002) - Ringu (Japan - 1998)

- The Grudge (2004) - Ju-On (Japan - 2000)

- Shall We Dance (2004) - Shall We Dansu (Japan - 1996)

- The Lake House (2006) - Il Mare (Korea - 2000)

- The Departed (2006) - Infernal Affairs (Hong Kong - 2002)

And coming soon...

- My Sassy Girl (2007) - My Sassy Girl (Korea 2001)

- A Tale of Two Sisters (2008) - A Tale of Two Sisters/Janghwa, Hongryeon (Korea 2003)

- The Eye (2008) - The Eye (Korea 2002)

- Memories of Murder (2008) - Memories of Murder (Korea 2003)

- ???? (????) - Drunken Angel (Japan 1948)

(Leo DiCapprio may play the lead, but it's uncertain)

So, thoughts on this? Have you ever seen one you liked better than the original?

For those in interracial relationships, how do you approach this subject?

What food you consider a must on long road trips? Gummi bears and diet cherry coke for me.

Does anyone have a recipe for the Japanese dessert Mochi? I love it but I can only find the sort that's filled with ice cream. I'd like to make the kind filled with red bean paste. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

In the wake of the musical version of Reefer Madness are there any movie scripts that you would love to see redone as a musical either seriously or for comedy's sake? My pick (I know it sounds silly) would be Night of the Living Dead, just because I think it would be hilarious.

And why?

Is this drink actually any good? How would you describe the flavour?

Is it wrong (or perhaps just a bad idea) to ask a person who you're involved with how many sexual partners he or she has had? Would you see it as none of your business so long as they had been tested, or would you want to know how many?

Not unless I click "sort by date" at the top. Then it's first in the queue. Otherwise it's simply not there at all. And it doesn't give the option of going on to page 2 or anything. Has anyone else seen this?

How many of these can you think of? Here are some examples of interesting ones:

- A watch of nightingales

- A murder of crows

- A sounder of swine

- A skulk of foxes

Can you come up with any other interesting ones? Or even use some humour to make up your own? (i.e. "a babbling of babies") Have fun and keep it clean! ;-)
