July 2010 issue of Vanity Fair reports a poll done through CBS which included the question:

If you could live in a movie for one day, whose life would you want to live ?

The choice of eight included three females;

Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City

Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman's character) in Casablanca

Lara Croft in Tomb raider.

4% of male respondents chose Carrie.

3% of male respondents chose Ilsa

1% of male respondents chose Lara.

That's 8% of males wanting female roles. Pretty good, eh ?

Ann Garvald Blog --The Book That Changed My Life

If this was Readers Digest, a title like the one above would almost certainly suggest an article about The Bible. Well, that’s not the case here. Not that I have anything against The Bible, although I do wish that the born-again types who have hijacked the name “Christian” would pay more attention to Christ’s message of love and tolerance in the New Testament and less to a God of vengeance and retribution that they seem to think is the only message in the Old Testament.

With a lot of patient technical help from WebMistress re how to post, I've added another story to "Recommended Reading", this one titled "Discovered".

I've never blogged before, and maybe what I'm about to write --a brief bio of Ann --is not strictly blog material, in which case my apologies.

XLVII: Two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with water. The other third is covered with auditors from headquarters. XLVIII: The more time you spend talking about what you have been doing, the less time you have to spend doing what you have been talking about. Eventually, you spend more and more time talking about less and less until finally you spend all your time talking about nothing. XLIX: Regulations grow at the same rate as weeds. L: The average regulation has a life span one-fifth as long as a chimpanzee's and one-tenth as long as a human's -- but four times as long as the official's who created it. LI: By the time of the United States Tricentennial, there will be more government workers than there are workers. LII: People working in the private sector should try to save money. There remains the possibility that it may someday be valuable again.
