Possession

Oct 07, 2005 15:07

I just finished watching the adapted-to-screen version of A.S. Byatt's Possession, circa 2002 and fleshed out with Gwyneth Paltrow (awesomely good Maud) and Aaron Eckhart (sad, sad, stupid and overly attractive version of should-be-admirably-scholarly Roland).

I will be in Fort Worth doing nothing that weekend. I'm going to that big music concert festival thing on Sunday. I'd invite you to come to Fort Worth, but I know it's a wasted effort.

What's Random's last name?

That's exciting about the book/movie combo. I keep telling you about Big Fish, but.....read it.

Colloquialism is highly overrated *coughTheirEyesWereWatchingGodcough*. But, and I quote, weird incestuous mountain syntax seems interesting enough.

What did Faulkner write?

Buck-knife wielding??? I, for one, need more of an explanation.

So the dinner was good?

Those Aca-bastards!

Hey now, I'm the one with two lit classes I'm reading stuff for! I will when I have time. Maybe I'll take it with me on the plane. :P

Yeah, we always talk about TEWWG too. And I feel better because I know it, but .. eh. I liked the book alright, but I think I missed a lot of the subtlety or something.

Southern stuff?

She has a knife (as do I) but she stabs it into things when irritated. It's clever.

AMAZING.

Aca-losers, really!

Me too what, silly?

If you mean home as in San Antonio, I'm always here...of course.

A few of us are going to a concert on the 24th, too. You're welcome to come with us. So far it's me, Krista Lopez...I think you know her, her brother, and a few others. Get back to me.

Otherwise, we still need to hang out, homie.

I really hope you meant home as in San Antonio...otherwise I just sounded like an idiot.

Maybe so. But still. I'm selfish and stubborn and asinine about such things. :P It was MINE.

That isn't too far from happening. If and when I see Josh or Random or any of them.. it could get bloody. :}
