Book prices and movies

I was thinking about the upcoming movie of "The hunger games" and I asked my goddaughter, who's gonna be 18 at the end of the month, if she had ever heard about the books as they are young adult literature, but she had no idea what I was talking about. Nor any of her classmates had ever heard of the trilogy.
I first heard about the books and the movie about a year ago through a site I read from time to time, called Geek moms (although I'm not a mom yet), and they were so excited about the books that made me wanna read them too. For various reasons I started (and finished) reading them last month and loved them and now I've been whining to my husband to watch the movie although it doesn't have any spaceships or superheroes and other boy's stuff. He is gonna take me...the things you do for love...

Us and the chicken

My husband doesn't really like eating chicken except as a chicken soup. I love eating chicken in every form possible except in a chicken soup. It don't hate it but it reminds me of hospital food or something but I do cook it for my husband's sake.
A few months earlier I found a recipe in a site that we both loved and it's so easy you can prepare it in no time and just leave it in the oven while you do your various household chores. I don't give you the original recipe as it is in Greek but I can provide it to anyone who's interested.

Economic crisis and tv shows

 My husband likes staying at home at his spare time. He is as content as a house cat if you leave him in front of his pc with a huge cup of coffee and an ashtray. Me, on the other hand, I'm like this a bit crazy cat that cannot possibly decide whether to stay in or go out and just as I might seem to be reading a very interesting something on my pc screen or on my kindle, I will raise my head and say "OMFG!!!! I'm bored out of my ass!!! Let's go someplace. NOW!!!". Yes, I'm that effing polite and that accurate about what I need, who are you my father? Gosh!
