I recently discovered Amazon.com’s “Wish Lists.” I haven’t made one yet, but I find it strange and fascinating that I could buy and send a longed-for book to a complete stranger.
It’s such a great tool to keep track of stuff you’ve been meaning to check out!

Even worse…I named my son Silas, you know, after Silas and Timothy…unfortunately I found out that Silas is the terrorist albino monk from hell in this film…
