"Love is 90% responsibility. Whatever that other 10 percent is,
it must be quite something." --NYC Taxi Driver
Blender of Love Digest May 1998


Merry Merry Month of May

April showers, May flowers, more poetry and prose.

The first 301 responses to the Love Blender Survey are here, although I haven't done much editing or number crunching yet. If you haven't taken the survey, I urge you to do so before reading the results.

Another excellent month for submissions to the Blender-- good to see that the move to loveblender.com didn't shake things up to much. This month's review is of the film "Two Girls and a Guy" and the ramble is slightly unusual (and arguably a little self-indulgent.)

Enjoy!
