Well, spring seems to be more or less here in Wisconsin. We enjoyed two gorgeous days this weekend and certain of my plants have now been covered for the expected frost tonight ( Read more... )

Lola sounds like she's one of those helpless "Do it for meeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!'" people who drive me fucking nuts. Best of luck with that one.

Yes, I think you are right. She has a real air of helplessness and countless excuses for not being accountable.

I had pizza with my neighbors last night and Matt affirmed my opinion that the project was incredibly disorganized and just plain ridiculous.

I thought we had handled backing off from the witchcraft lessons elegantly. But apparently Lola did not hear a thing we said. I think she did finally hear the part about she needs to show initiative.

Pam and I are contemplating whether we need to sit her down and have a blunt talk with her. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but yes, she is driving me fucking nuts.

Thank you.

I got myself into this, so I guess I have to figure out how to deal with it.

Honestly, I think I am a good, clear communicator. I am utterly baffled about how I am supposed to get through to this woman. She seems to have extremely selective hearing and memory. And more excuses than anybody I have ever met.

Extremely baffling.

I have known people like that. It can get exhausting.

Narcisscism is one theme, and it is explored beautifully. Other themes seem to explore the dynamics between men and women, the dynamics of sex, what is love vs. what is fantasy/lust, the ethics of love spells...

Good luck with Lola. I hope she sorts herself out.

Ha! You are right, there were many other themes, but they are so far from my purview I need to be reminded.

I have a friend who gave up the craft because the object of her love spell didn't comply. Crazy.

Then there is the whole underlying story of how she has been abused by the patriarchy and how this is her retaliation. Or the fact that the constant blows to her self esteem by the men in her life-ex husband, HP, lovers, add to her spiral into a complete fantasy land and murder...

There is so much going on with this movie, you can watch it on so many levels.

Wow. I honestly didn't think of some of this.

I'm glad I watched it with the director's comments because that explained a lot.
