I called Kayne's song Harder.
Bah you know what I mean.
You know how long I've been on you, since Prince was on Apollonia, since OJ had Isotoners .. Sorry I just love this song!
What did you think of The Other Boelyn Girl? I started it, but I haven't finished it. I liked it, but I think I lost interest because everyone I know has read it and talked about it. Then Sunday night I watched The Tudors for the first time. It just seems too familiar.
Kristy - I really enjoyed The Other Boleyn Girl, but hadn't heard any discussions/read reviews, etc... AND I completed it a few weeks before the movie came out so didn't have the characters drawn in my head as Scarlett and Natalie (like they couldn't find two British actresses?? *shaking head*)
I don't find Philipa Gregory's writing style brilliant, but her pacing and storytelling skills are wonderful.
I've been dying to see The Tudors, but keep missing it!
Oh, Phantom of the Opera soundtrack -- *drool*!! I love it. "Hotel California" and Four Seasons -- *drool*!
And I would love to visit Russia someday, too!
Wylie and Thomma Lyn - let's all go to St. Petersburg together! Woo! And on to Scandinavia! Yes!
'6 days 'til Lost, 5 days 'til lost, 4 days 'til Lost...' I can relate. Not for 'Lost' which I only see sporadically. But for movies, really, when I can't wait for them.
'Phantom' soundtrack - check
'Moulin Rouge' - check
Evanescence - check
Vivaldi - check
Thanks for doing the meme - I loved this chance to know more about you, Wylie. And I have to say I love your Sweetness and Light names for your kids!
