aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

"The Unfortunake Rake" is also the subject of a Greil Marcus essay, IIRC. -t's answer on Joanie and Jane is my answer, Erika.

Always Anti-fascist!

Huh. I'm not up on that stuff.(folk ballads, not femmeslash. But I'm always impressed with the work that must go into Deadwood. It makes me so annoyed that my family only knows it as the show where they talk nasty. But I'm descended from hooples, for the most part. I would go into it further but I'd probably want somebody to go down on me first.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hec, do you have a [pre] tag before the title in post # 3391? I think it's stretching the screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That should wrap better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hmph. I tried to put some line breaks in but it still looks wide-ish.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Watched Brokeback Mountain. Am now in tiny, tiny pieces.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

K-Bug and her friend invaded my room while I was doing homework last night and put in Brokeback Mountain. Even paying only half attention it broke me again.

I'm kind of glad I didn't see it in the theater, since I find it embarrassing to sob loudly in public.

Dana, I had no idea you hadn't seen it. Yes, it seems like a movie designed to shred you to pieces.
