On two separate occasions now I've had to edit my replies because they supposedly contain language of a mature nature or that violates the Mylot terms of service. Except...not. In one I was trying to recommend a book by an...

Who is your favorite movie heroine?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 28 Oct 07

There's not nearly as many interesting heroines in mainstream cinema as their are interesting heroes, which is disappointing. That's not to say there aren't any, though. A few of my favorites include: Mercedes from Pan's...

Which of the Godfather movies do you prefer?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 26 Oct 07

My boyfriend and I have just made our way through the Godfather trilogy. I've seen the first one several times, but it's the fist time I've seen parts two and three. I have to say, I prefer the first one the most because it is the...

What is your favorite type of cake, and why?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 24 Oct 07

Personally, I love chocolate cake...the more chocolate the better! Ideally it should have something like raspberry jam in between layers, but if that's not an option, more chocolate will do. ;) My other favorite cake is...

What's the strangest food your cat likes to eat?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 21 Oct 07

Cats are supposed to be finicky eaters, but every cat I've owned has had weird food preferences. My old Manx cat would eat just about anything, but she loved Italian food the best---particularly lasagna and spaghetti with sauce....

What instrument would you like to learn?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 20 Oct 07

I've got a Bachelors in classical singing, and I definitely consider the voice to be an instrument. I've tried playing various other instruments, including piano, drums and tablas (Indian percussion). I was terrible at all of...

Tutoring at home/online

new_waver @new_waver (198) 19 Oct 07

I work in education as a support worker (for students with dyslexia, etc). It pays well, but the hours often fluctuate, and so I think I need to take on another part time job to supplement my income. I'm interested in becoming a...

Favorite chocolate maker?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 19 Oct 07

I've found that Europe in general has higher-quality candy bars (the kind you get from vending machines, I mean) than the US. However, both places have many different, high quality chocolate makers/chocolatiers. In the US, my...

Honey as a natural allergy reliever?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 18 Oct 07

Quite a few people I know have said that eating locally-produced raw honey is good for combating allergies, because by ingesting small amounts of pollen you gradually build up a resistance to it. I've never tried it personally,...

Chips and curry?

new_waver @new_waver (198) 18 Oct 07

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a good recipe for chip shop-style curry sauce. There's a chip shop in my neighborhood, but I'd like to be able to make it on my own, in case I get a midnight craving and don't feel like...

new_waver @new_waver (198) 18 Oct 07

I love the Magnetic Fields, but there doesn't seem to be any discussion about them. Does anyone have any opinions? Best album, song, tour, etc? Has anyone heard any of Stephin Merritt's other projects (like the Gothic Archies, who...
