Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
really bored?
oh yeah. I went back last saturday at 4:00 AM. I had just a random virus.
Amazingly funny reviews of bic pens. including my fave:
Worked fine with my right hand, but when I came to use my left hand my writing came out looking like the work of a complete imbecile. I can only assume Bic have created a right-handed only pen, and would caution left-handers to "try before you buy".
I never got why Jo married Professor Bhaer instead of Laurie. Or I never understood why Amy took her sister's castoffs.
Pizza worked out a little too crisp, but otherwise great. Grilled chicken and mushrooms--mmmm.
I want pizza.
Bhaer was warm and smart and liked Jo as she was. Laurie was whiny and girly. (At least in the 1937 film version) He was better in the book, but I didn't like him much there, either.
I'm watching the 1933 version and the Professor creeps me out. He's all piny and all. They haven't shown Laurie disliking Jo as she is--they've shown them having a high-spirited old time, and I guess that's what appeals to me.
I'm referencing the book, not the 1933 movie, but I think Jo knew she loved Laurie as a brother, and also knew she wasn't ready to be partnered yet. Laurie had a lot of growing up to do, still.
I think by the time he and Amy met again in Europe, he had done that, but so had she. The way two old friends look at each other with new eyes in those chapters always got to me.
Apparently, I can rhapsodize over Little Women at the drop of a hat.
I guess when I read the book I was young I didn't get the distinction between the sorts of love and I didn't see anything in old man Bhaer.
The movie doesn't cover the change of heart one bit.
Wasn't the professor played by Gabriel Byrne in the most recent version? I'd pick him over anyone, anyday (except James Morrison),
