And usually I can do what Christine said and consider them two separate entities.<br /><br />A while back we watched the movie Stardust because my sister-in-law said "Dustin Hoffman, Gay Pirate, Fabulous".

They're such different mediums that they're impossible to compare.Christine Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168406879681616375noreply@blogger.com
