It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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?)

Don't know, Rebecca - I do recall it as quite recent.

And we will call it... "This Land."

Curiously, in the original script he says Thomas Pynchon's novels are pretentious crap, which is a much less defensible position.

I suppose Bret Easton Ellis doesn't pre-date the movie? Damn. Because he would be perfect.

bwahahaha... Ellis graduated from Bennington just a few years before I got there, and the place was all abuzz about him. So I picked up American Psycho.

Boy was that a waste of my time. Maybe it's just as well I didn't get into any writing courses there...
