travel/tour companies [ Posted on November 12, 2009 @ 8:19 pm ] thequestionclub [jenna_pie] I don't know why that didn't work the first time I tried to post... My best friend and I are talking about planning a european trip, we want to use a tour company. We've used goahead tours before, but are open to suggestions for another company. Have you ever been on a tour in a different country? Where did you go and what kind of tour was it? What company did you use? Would you recommend it? Why or why not? PICTURES??

Extraordinary book. [ Posted on November 12, 2009 @ 8:09 pm ] literaryquotes [midnight_birth] ♥ Together these features lend the vague impression of a classical temple, and perhaps Acropolis of Athens were it not for the fact that the building is so caked in filth (soot, bird excrement, vehicle exhaust, industrial grime) that its neglect gives it away for what it is: an ordinary public-service building. Abused, ugly, useful. ♥ ...The bell tower, and there's nothing exceptional in this, is tall and thin. The baptistry, and this is unexceptional news too, is short and fat. I think of Father and Mother. I think of bell tower and the baptistry. The bell tower looks down and loves the squat baptistry, the baptistry looks up and loves the beanpole tower. Now let me cast these buildings in the forthcoming event. Let me label the bell tower Linas-father, for if he was a building rather than a person he would indeed have been a tall, gangly type of structure. And let me label the baptistry Dallia-mother, for were she to be built out of limestone, she too would be only one storey in height, and she too would spread herself out in a horizontal fashion. So now, lower the light of day into a more romantic atmosphere, turn on the moon and see the beginnings of us, of Alva and Irva. Hear a faint rumbling as the bell tower pulls himself from his foundation in Cathedral Square, and lays himself down on top of the baptistry. And as the city vibrates with this act of love, to the happy groans of the bell tower and the baptistry: we begin. That's how it should have been marked, not by a little panting from two adolescents on the top entrance step of a building, but by the loud ecstatic bellowing of great architecture as it bangs away, building against building. ♥ Some men love power, some men love women, some men love boys, some men love cars, some men love firearms, some men love matchstick buildings; well, Father was one of those men who love stamps, a small breed admittedly but a breed nevertheless. ♥ This was true - soon Father would have as much time as he desired to linger over each new stamp as he went about the city, from house to house. But those stamps, Father would protest, had been franked; they were no longer the pure virgin stamps that could be found at the post office counters. Oh, he would sigh, there was something magical about those unused stamps arranged neatly in blocks, still with their serrated edges untorn and their glue unlicked. They were the nearest thing, he believed, to innocence. ♥ After a week of aching limbs father brought a wooden stool with him which ever after lived side by side with Mother's plastic chair in the twelfth counter booth. Perhaps that plastic chair and that wooden stool were slowly falling in love too - they seemed somehow to belong to each other. Perhaps this abandoned child and this half-orphan were instinctively drawn together by a profound yearning for absent people. Perhaps each immediately felt the want that surrounded the other, and instantly closed ranks for desperation for a whole. ♥ How the people loved the matchstick cathedral - more eager, it would seem, to relinquish their money if it might help to keep the matchstick model in good order, than to aid the vast and echoey religious warehouse itself. This is not uncommon; miniature things move people. ~~Alva & Irva by Edward Carey. Comment ~♠~ Edit Entry ~♠~ Save

[ Posted on November 13, 2009 @ 12:46 am ] dear_you [sundayisdown] Dear you, I've never liked a girl as much as I like you. Thinking of you makes me feel like this excited child, awed at the very existence of someone like you, and thrilled by the prospect of all the good things that can happen now that I know you. I so dearly hope that at some point we end up kissing, and thus henceforth having license to have our arms around each other and cuddle and things like that. I'm extremely frightened about the prospect of initiating this, however, and the possibility that you would prove not to want any of this, and that you're just really enthusiastic about being friends with me, rather than anything more. If only I knew how you felt. Love, Me. Comment ~♠~ Edit Entry ~♠~ Save

[ Posted on November 12, 2009 @ 4:45 pm ] thequestionclub [devolute] TQC, where is a good place to buy tights (warm & thick, patterns okay, but no wool)? I usually get them at Target because I'm cheap, but the selection has been bad lately and the quality is usually not very good. I don't want to pay too much, and I'd prefer to buy them in a real store rather than online. I know about Sock Dreams, but that's kind of my last resort if I don't find some locally. I don't like paying shipping. I've heard they have an IRL store in Portland, but I don't know if I'll have time to go into the city this weekend :( Read (13) ~♠~ Comment ~♠~ Edit Entry ~♠~ Save

[ Posted on November 12, 2009 @ 7:34 pm ] thequestionclub [fame] Should I bake cookies tonight, TQC? If it matters, it will be the Nestle Tollhouse recipe from the bag. Do you watch Jeopardy?

Edit: Since so far the answer seems to be yes for the cookies: do you have any suggestions on how I can defrost my two sticks of butter quicker than just leaving them sitting out?

Philadelphia Tourist [ Posted on November 12, 2009 @ 5:34 pm ] thequestionclub [icyblue] I'll be in Philadelphia next weekend for the National Council of Teachers of English annual convention. I'm from Canada, and have never been to the eastern States before, so I'm pretty excited! Though I'll be pretty busy with mah learnins, I will have a bit of free time, and would like to make the most of my time there. I will be going by myself (never travelled alone before!). Do you have any suggestions for "Must Dos" in Philadelphia? I will be staying downtown, near City Hall, so suggestions for stuff near there or easily accessible (no rental car) would be great. I've googled, of course, but I am hoping for some more personal suggestions, and well, TQC is awesome like that. :) ALSO AND VERY IMPORTANT: WHERE DO I GO TO GET A PHILLY CHEESE STEAK?!?!?!?!?!?!
