ellandb I'm one of those people who clicks through the channels, trying to find something to watch. If I find a show I want to watch, I'll stay there, but when the commercials come on I scan through the channels again. The only time I don't flip through the...

Do you feel guilty when being on the internet for hours at a time?

justhere @justhere (229) • United States 26 Sep 11

I was just wondering if you feel guilty, being online making working trying to do many things to earn money. You wind up doing many things at one time and try to add it all up after 3 hours or more and you only made a few pennies....

ellandb It all depends on what I'm doing on the Internet. If I've already accomplished the writing goals I've set for myself for that day, then I don't feel bad for enjoying time for myself doing other things online. But if I haven't done anything productive, and I've...

Detective fiction is one of my favourite genres. With so many detective series out there, it can be difficult to find a favourite sleuth. Edith Pargeter, whose pen name was Ellis Peters, created a character that remains my top...

Do you listen to audio books? Why or why not?

writermom8 @writermom8 (913) • Philippines 18 Apr 11

I'm so busy these days that I don't get to read as much as I want to. But then I discovered audio books and found that it's nice to listen to a story being read by someone else while I am going around the house doing chores. At...

ellandb No, I don't listen to audio books. I've tried, but I find the narrator's voice a bit jarring, especially if the narrator is a celebrity. I'd much rather listen to my own mind's 'voice' when reading.

ellandb I'm really looking forward to this movie. This, along with 'X-Men: First Class' are my two most anticipated superhero flicks this year. I was a bit concerned when they first announced it. Thor isn't exactly the first Marvel Comics character that pops to mind...

What are some TV shows that you think have been on for too long?

SilverSnow @SilverSnow (45) • United States 15 Apr 11

So I'm sitting here watching one of my favorite shows, "How I met your mother" and noticing that with every new episode, it's getting less funny, more boring and annoying. I feel when they started the whole "Marshall and Lilly...

ellandb I wish Fox would pull the plug on "The Simpsons." It hasn't been really funny in years, and watching it now is almost painful. All the incarnations of "CSI" need to be put out to pasture, too. Celebrity reality shows have overstayed their welcome WAY too...

ellandb I had the opposite reaction the the trailers. "Captain America's" trailer was okay, but I found "Thor's" trailer to be much more epic. That makes sense, since 'Cap' is more of a hero picture, where 'Thor' gives off more of a Shakespearean vibe. One thing...
