I picked up a copy of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." In comparing the book to the movie, I think that the screenplay was a very good adaptation. The text is composed entirely of letters exchanged between characters and the movie relies almost entirely upon character interaction, something that is non-existent in the book. Aside from a few instances in which voiceover is...

Thai-Asian Food Market

Good family owned store with mostly groceries, but I think they have some prepared stuff in the back.

Two Thai places on Columbia Pike in Arlington are good, they're across the street from each other, and there is a Thai grocery among them on the same side of the street at Bangkok 54.

I've enjoyed many good meals there over the last few years and taken home many leftovers.

No time for food hours! OH NO!!!

Too much good stuff, fast and easy, close and convenient. Want a few pointers and/or suggestions? Takeout better than you can make yourself and almost as inexpensive.

I should blog more, but I don't. It's not because I don't like you. Really. I'm just busy... No, there's no one else, I swear. I just have to work so I can afford to buy gas for my car so that I can go to work. That makes sense right? There are some days where the only time I am awake (aside from two...
