All Consuming : Hannah Barton

A story about the last time I consumed "Mighty Like a Rose"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Hannah Barton) — Tue, 15 May 2007 21:06:53 GMT

by Elvis Costello

I bought this cd years ago at a used cd place in Bellingham, WA for $6.99 or something like that. I have since lost the cd. The week before last when Elvis Costello finally became available on iTunes I downloaded this album. This might be my favorite EC album. It is so angry and raw and sad. I’m so glad I bought it again cuase it rocks.

The Last Unicorn

by Arthur Rankin Jr.

This was my favorite movie when I was little. I haven’t seen it many, many years. My little sister much have watched it a hundred times.

Why I recommend "Mussels"

Mussels

Mussels are DELICIOUS. But I am horribly allergic – hence the “not worth consuming”. But YOU should comsume them because they are yummy!

How "Lobster" changed my life

Lobster

by nature

I only say it is not worth consuming for me, personally, because I am allergic to lobster. So please don’t consider that a review.

A story about "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo"

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo

by Mike Mitchell (VI)

When my friend and I saw this movie in the theater we had smuggled in bottles of booze (rum and coke for her, gin and tonic for me) in our coat pockets. By the time we left we though this was the funniest movie we had ever seen because they were big, strong drinks. Unfortunately we had forgotten that they were also carbonated so when we opened our big, strong, carbonated drinks they erupted all over us and the floor of the theater. It was summer and we wearing shorts and tank tops. When the movie ended and we left we were drunk and sticky.

A story about the last time I consumed "hot & sour soup"

hot & sour soup

Usually Hot & Sour Soup is worth consuming – when it’s from a good Chinese restaurant. This instant crap is not so good and it kind of made my tummy hurt. I don’t think I am going to eat the rest of it.

How "My Aim Is True" changed my life

My Aim Is True

by Elvis Costello

On the list of albums that have changed my life I would put this one right after Nevermind by Nirvana. Mostly based on the fact that it was his very first – so it was a good place to start when I began building my Elvis Costello collection. If I were to choose only one EC album that changed my life, I’d go with this one.

How "Nevermind" changed my life

Nevermind

by Nirvana

Nevermind changed the way I think about music and life and the way I see the world. I was 13 the first time I heard it. It was the first album that changed my life and there has not been another one to compare since. Although Bleach was the very first Nirvana album I ever heard (thanks to my brother, Josh) Nevermind is definitely the one that became a part of my daily existence. This album, unlike any other, became the soundtrack for my entire adolescence.

Why I gave up consuming "We Three Kings"

We Three Kings

by Reverend Horton Heat

It’s possibly the best Christmas album ever. The Rev is inches ahead of The Brian Setzer Orchestra for most rocking Christmas tunes on my iPod, this week. It goes back and forth between the two.

A story about "The Da Vinci Code"

The Da Vinci Code

by Dan Brown

Not bad for fluff. I don’t usualy read mysteries but after all the hype I was interested. It was a fun read, kind of disappointing after all the hype. Angels and Demons is much better.

A story about "Serenity (Widescreen Edition)"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Hannah Barton) — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 00:50:48 GMT

Serenity (Widescreen Edition)

Having never seen the television series I didn’t get it and was bored through the entire movie. I only went to see it because my friend was having a really day she thought it would cheer her up…and it did. So I guess my opinion is tainted.

How "Amelie" changed my life

nobody@allconsuming.net (Hannah Barton) — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 00:36:28 GMT

Amelie

by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

My husband and I saw Amelie on our first date, about four years and two weeks ago. It was possibly the most perfect date in history.

A review of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Perennial Classics)"

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Perennial Classics)

by Betty Smith

I’m surprised that so many people said that this book is not worth consuming. This one of my very fovorite books. It is very sweet and sad, too. I think it is a classic for young adults. I read it in 8th grade for a book report, on a suggestion from my mother as it was one of her favorites and it became one mine. I’ve watched the moveie about million times simce then, as well. I wouldn’t recommend it for kids younger than adolescence since it does deal with the issues of death and alcoholism.

How "Jane Eyre (Signet Classics)" changed my life

Jane Eyre (Signet Classics)

by Charlotte Brontë

Jane Eyre is one of maybe a dozen books that I could not live without. It utterly changed my life the first time I read it. I think it was one of two books, the other being Little Women, that actually made me cry. I think I my understanding of romantic love began to take root when I read Jane Eyre. It is easily in my top five favorite novels of all time. I want to go read it right now!

A story about "My Life"

My Life

by Bill Clinton

I’m not terribly far into this, I guess. I bought the paperback edition so I am about one-third of the way through the first book. I find it to be very interesting, if a little comtrived at times. I had seen President Clinton speak in person and was amazed on that occasion at how engaging he is. I don’t think his writing is as elegant and engaging as his speaking style. Still, a very interesting book, I have enjoyed what I have read so far and look froward to reading the rest. President Clinton seems to be a very thoughtful man and I appreciate his perspective. I am not usually intereted in autobiographies and this one holds my attention.
