"A young boy watches with his mother and his cat from their apartment window as looters roam the streets. Soon their own building begins to burn and as they leave they discover the cat has disappeared! The neighbor Mrs. Kim, who is disliked because of cultural differences, is also missing her cat. The community gathers in a shelter to escape the fire and the looting. Though the subject might be upsetting if not handled with care, the book addresses issues young people are actually confronted with and presents a child's eye view of the Los Angeles riots. The story does end hopefully with the two cats teaching the humans a lesson about getting along. Diaz' collage art compliments the storyline, reflecting both the debris of the looters and the warmth of the community." - Anna Haro
"Musical tastes and personality type are closely related, according to a study of more than 36,000 people from around the world." - Anna Haro via Bookmarklet
Actually the definitions in MUSICAL STYLES VERSUS PERSONALITY TRAITS are rubbish if you ask me. Nearly everyone but Rock lovers has high self-esteem? I like all but Country and Western (hard working,outgoing) in that list so what does that make me? - Toby Graham
Interesting but not a hard and fast rule. I like indie but I'd say I was hard working and gentle. - Martin Bryant
I have/am....High self-esteem, creative, outgoing, gentle and at ease, introvert, not hard working, low self-esteem, not gentle, not outgoing, not creative, not at ease. Apparently - Toby Graham
Cee Bee, I totally believe musical tastes and personality are connected, and Toby I agree with you. The findings in this study are lame. I posted for title and picture. :) - Anna Haro
I guess Palin doesn't represent their family values, either. There goes Sarah Barracuda getting her own theme song. - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy via fftogo
