"and those receive me: who quietly treat me, as one familiar and well-beloved in that home: but will not, oh will not, not now, not ever; but will not ever tell me who I am." . . . i know the feeling myself . . . lap it up baby . . . that's all i have to say . . . lap it up . . . and don't guilt yourself out about it . . . you're doing a service to the generations . . .

how is the essay, by the way?

[narratrice]

done and submitted!! I shall send you a copy of the final draft, should you wish.

(By the time I was done the edits, I actually think I had a thesis!!)

What essay???

I feel so out of touch with my friends, and paranoid that life is rolling on without me. Regale me with details of your lives!! *panicked, pathetic look*

Enjoy time with your parents, and Cate Blanchett's brilliant performance in ELIZABETH. That alone is worth putting up with a precarious relationship.

(Besides, I love your parents!! Try strict old-fashioned Chinese parents still suffering shell-shock-from-a-Communist-regime on for size. Though I love them too....maybe I just love parents.)

it's actually the Elizabeth starring Helen Mirren, who plays E the First in an outstanding four-hour miniseries put out in the last year. She played both queens in the same year, and she is utterly breathtaking.
YOU of all people should rent it. It will change your life.
