God, this is crass, but I need to read a biography of her. I've just read little bios -- I wonder if there's a really good one?

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.
on the Hemingway front, his dad and granddaughter Margaux were the other suicides.
Plath also wrote the novel The Bell Jar.
The Bell Jar is American writer and poet Sylvia Plath's only novel, which was originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in 1963. The novel is semi-autobiographical with the names of places and people changed. The book is often regarded as a roman à clef, with the protagonist's descent into mental illness paralleling Plath's own experiences with what may have been either bipolar disorder or clinical depression. Plath committed suicide a month after its first publication.

Also, poor ita. And Busickstas. ~mas and ~mas to you.
A movie about monks who have a vow of silence? I'm guessing it's more documentary style rather than sensory-overload MTV style.
Oy. An adrenaline spike at the end of a very long day is no good. I seriously thought I was about to be attacked as I reached my building tonight. There was no parking available on my street so I had to park a block away. Walking from the car, as I turned the corner onto my street I suddenly saw a shadow racing up on me from behind. Luckily it was just a stoner dude on a bike who said "Hey, peace baby" as he startled the crap out of me.
Skipping to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista birthday: both Raq's as well as Kathy A's.
Happy birthday, Raq! Happy birthday, Kathy! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, lots of wishes for Raq's not-so-little-anymore Mal, who had a birthday last week, when I was internet-less and couldn't post about it.
