Definitely Shelton should have warned her, even if it was never meant to be more than a nice little sexual tension point between Sarandan and Costner's characters. That's just rude.

If was less of a movie, I doubt it would have mattered. But the damned film is just so good all the way through.....

I can't imagine him writing "Thomas Pynchon" in there, though (yes, I know, tangent woman over here). Crash Davis is exactly the kind of man to keep a tattered copy of "Gravity's Rainbow" in his locker.

I think I know what I'm going to watch tonight...

Steph, Nic bought it for me on DVD. Yummers....

Nice -- I heard the DVD has some good extras. I got a DVD player for Christmas, but I've been slow to amass DVDs (I've only bought S2 of Buffy and the movie Rain, which is beautiful). After last weekend I want Thomas Crown, and I keep meaning to get Bull Durham.

Alas, I am not made of money.

Deb, you have an interesting life, the edges of which I'm starting to glimpse.

Had an interesting life.

Retired from interesting now.

Hmm, it still sounds relatively interesting, even if it's not not super-charged, high-energy, jet-setting.

Well, it isn't boring (the writing and illness parts are rather, um, all consuming), but I have to say, everything since the fall of democracy seems to have happened in extremes. No grey zones at chez Grabien.

Speaking of which, I managed to write a couple of pages in the third book of the series I'm working on, while we were posting. I was feeling guilty because I'd spent so much time on Amanda this week - Needfire is now 22 pages and will likely top 12 or 13K words when done.

And I wish to hell my publisher would get back to me. I really have reached the "don't open your morning email without first chanting a mantra for Publisher Love" stage.

(I've read The Volcano Lover & In America, which was, what, published in 2001?)
