    Yes Congrats FerociousKitty! I know how hard it is to get good representation. Here is to a speedy sale!

    Thanks, Troy! I'm definitely hoping for a speedy sale.

    Fyi, alas, I ended up going with the agent that you don't know. :( But she's now familiar with you and AALBC because you are included in the promotional section of my proposal. :)

    So today an agent presented us (my ex and me) with a contract today to represent our co-parenting book (and my future book projects).

    *screaming*

    I feel so blessed. I didn't have to deal with a long wait or shady crooks. She is a friend of a friend.

    Next up: The agent shops the proposal around to the publishing houses. Stay tuned...

  4. Books and the Movies

    My man Thump, You know you sure do bring it! See, I need you right next to my copy of TCM's 2009 DVD catalog.

    I didn't know "Patricia Highsmith wrote The Talented Mr. Ripley AND the Hitchcock classic Strangers on a Train". You know I love both of those movies. The movies was great and so was the acting.

    Oh, before I get caught-up, I am waiting to hear your Oscar picks. I've seen all the talked about movies and most of the performances of the leading actors. I am not going to show my hold card but Morgan Freeman and Avatar gets my 10 TOES DOWN. Well, I fell asleep while watching both of them. So, you know, 10 toes down. They were just "ok" in my book. Now I'll tell you who I think did a great job. I mean, he might not win a damn thing but, Brad Pitt did a great job. The movie may not be for everyone (the director does his usual thang of over-the-top-ness, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Of course you know what I feel about Monique`.... BEST ACTING - by a black actress - EVER! Agree or disagree, I'm sticking with that one. But Thump, can I have my card back? I mean you spanked me for blowing ol girls name. You know, the one that played Julie Child. Will you ever forgive me? I was drunk. Okay, that's a lie because I don't drink, but come on man, can I have my card back? Anyway, although she's a great-great-great actress, the movie and her, gets my 10 TOES DOWN! Well, for the Julia & Julia chick flick.

    Back to movies and books: I knew you were on this kick, but did you ever consider that "Benjamin Button" was developed from a short story? I think we've talk about the movie, but how does short stories fit in this issue?

    Wasn't there 2 movie versions of The Postman Rings Twice and Double Indemnity?

    Although I was never a big fan of Broderick Crawford (fat face talked to fast), he killed Willie Starks.

    Patricia Highsmith was a piece of work. I've got her latest biography on my list. Here are 2 reviews:

    I feel like George Jefferson... moving on up. ** big applause** It even has a spellcheck :-)

    Thump, I can't wait to read your reviews!

    Good job Troy!

    Carey, I'll see your spell check and raise you a :D:lol:<_<:)B):P;):mellow::rolleyes: !

    Like Troy, I could never figure out emoticons on the old board.

    It really is the little things, lol.

    Oh, and I'm adding this book to my "read" list! ;)

    [edit: I tried to post all the emoticons originally, and got this message: "You have posted a message with more emoticons that this board allows. Please reduce the number of emoticons you've added to the message." LOL]
