  Where in Seattle can I find affordable high waisted jeans?

  3 0 They have highwaisted, skinny (cigarrette) mildly stretchy jeans at Urban Outfitters. They might just be what you're looking for. Also, this, in the way of "navy" inspired: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70299958/the-stealth-pant-high-waisted-slim-pant Callie Bishop answered in Women's Fashion about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 4 more answers »

  What is a great Shakespeare quote to send someone on their birthday?

  0 0 Well, if said friends plans to drink on their birthday, this is a good quote about "whiskey dick": “It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off.” Callie Bishop answered in Arts & Music over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 12 more answers »

  0 0 My tolerance for sci-fi is pretty high, depending on the context. For instance, although I'm not sure they "count," I love the Hitchhiker's Guide series. I also was enjoying the copy of Snow Crash Hickey loaned me until I lost it. I also love love loved World War Z and the Road which, although not sci-fi, I forgot to mention earlier. I'll definitely seek out The Fuck-Up and The Remainder sooner rather than later. For the sake of brevity I neglected to mention, in my initial post that, while I've loved pretty much all Palanhiuk books, I've been reading Pygmy for almost a year now, which is a record for me and a Palanhiuk book. I'm just not into it. And, while both are good, Rant and Snuff were nowhere near as enjoyable as his previous books. I also really like everything I've read by A.M. Homes, White Noise and Libra by Don DeLillo, Junky (Burroughs) and the the Rum Diary (Hunter S.). Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago

  0 0 I loved Lolita, and I'm pretty sure I read the Bell Jar in high school, but I'll double check. I also think I've picked up and flipped through House of Leaves before and was put off by the unconventional layout. I'll try these others. Thanks! Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago

  0 0 Hi Paul, Thanks for all of the suggestions! Maybe I haven't done my due diligence on Sherman Alexie - I thought he wrote historical non-fiction and fiction, which I didn't really think I'd enjoy. Everyone is always talking about Murakami and I thought I'd tried to read one of his books and not enjoyed it, but a quick glance at his wikipedia page shows that although most of the titles are familiar, I've never read any of them. Which one should I start with? Wind Up Bird Chronicles? Middlesex I really have picked up a few times and it has failed to draw me in. I actually read The Curious Incident immediately after reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower and, although it was good, it paled in comparison for me and I wished I hadn't read them consecutively. I appreciate your suggestions, everyone! Callie Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago

  0 0 Oh shit! I saw Susan Powder at the Northgate Target like a month ago. I was with a friend who also saw her and I even tweeted about it, but never got any actual confirmation. The only thing that made me think twice was that her hair is a terrible bottled bleach color now, as opposed to the perfect white I remember at the height of her "fame." Now I have confirmation. Thanks! Callie Bishop commented over 2 years ago

  What famous people live in Seattle or surrounding areas? Does Kris Novoselic live in Seattle?

  3 0 Anna Faris is from here and her dad, although not famous, lives here. I have it on good authority that he frequents Serafina, and she has accompanied him there in the past. Callie Bishop answered in Whatever over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 42 more answers »
