Elvis Costello Fan Forum

The article said that although Americans pay for their health care at least it is dependent on income and bottom line is you get a quality service should you fall sick. What is dependent on income? I mean, if you don't have an income then you don't have any health insurance, is that what they mean?...

How strange, I just watched Little Children yesterday as well... Definitely worth it. Definitely not worth it-- Knocked Up . How was this such a huge hit? It was not funny AT ALL, and it was an hour too long. I remember the trailer making me laugh, so it must have had some good jokes, but they were ...

So sad! I was going to see them last night (well, I was going to buy tickets) and then I saw it had been cancelled. Get better, sick Decemberist!

How did you claim zero dependents last year if you're paying health insurance for two children? Are they new?

That's an HMO at IBM?! Mine must be really shitty, then, because I pay way less than $225 a month, and mine is a PPO at a much smaller place... Seriously, are other people paying $225 per month per person?

Good Lord, that's insane. That's what I spend on rent! Why is it so high?

Thank you to all! None of my 3D-world friends have been quite as supportive. I've dressed up just about every year for so many years... 2006- stained glass 2005- lost mermaid (this kind of sucked) 2004- Marge Bouvier 2003- Theda Bara (no one got this one) 2002- ghost 2001- no costume (but I remember...

Yes, I want pictures too!

Okay, here I am...

What are people doing? What are you dressing up as? We threw a rollicking party last night... once I get over my hangover and clean the house, I'll try to throw up some pictures...

We're going to see that on Halloween!

I think posting measurements would be more than acceptable.

Free quiz that will not only improve your vocabulary, but also donate 10 grains of rice to the starving through an international aid agency for every word you get correct :D http://www.freerice.com/index.php Very cool!

Saw The Darjeeling Limited , the latest film by Wes Anderson, earlier this week. I know there's a lot of polarized opinion of Anderson and his work, but I've always enjoyed his films so it was an easy decision to go see this one, which I've been excited by for some time. Owen Wilson, Jason Schartzm...

I had a fundamentalist Christian friend who once tried to sell me the line about Jews being "incomplete" Christians. He tried very hard to reconcile a fundamentalist stance with things that he didn't really believe in. Now he's an atheist.

Thanks, dude!

All I do is work! Pout pout pout.

Hope Jess's pain passes soon.

I think you call it "glandular fever."

Saw Delirious last night, with an unexpected cameo by EC. (Unexpected because, apparently, I've been spending too much time away from the board.) There's a great line where Steve Buscemi, playing a paparazzo, says, "Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a picture of Elvis Costello without ...

I saw this last night, completely unaware of the EC cameo. I'd definitely recommend it, and my moviegoing companion liked it even more. Go see it! Support Tom DiCillo!

We're hosting a Movie Night on Friday, theme: Movies about the Future. I picked Brazil and Sleeper.

I told my friends the refreshments would be beer and microwave popcorn, and now they're accusing me of trying to off them.

We had to read Great Expectations in eighth grade, and I still remember my friends' shock on Monday morning: "You read the whole thing? what for? We were only assigned Chapters 1-6!"

Fantastic pictures--it looks like you two were having a fabulous time! Congratulations!

If not, $5 to each guy.

Nah, it's on the first floor. $5 sounds kind of low, but I have a tendency to overtip.
