And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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

I have The Magic Garden on VHS, but I don't have a VCR anymore.

I do! Come to my house and you can show it to me.

Here's a little insight into Matilda's devious little mindset...

Matilda: Daddy! Mommy is not a good mommy because she won't let me play [Drench]!

On the plus side, she skipped all the way home singing "Little Bunny Foo Foo" con gusto.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Does it say too much about me that I considered myself an R2D2 girl?

Are you admitting to being robosexual?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Sadly, it'll probably be 2012 before I can get out to SF. Not-so-sadly, because I'm going to France in October!

But I'll gladly mail you my Magic Garden tapes. It's time they got watched again.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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

Thanks for those, Allyson. I have some Rain up, but I can always do with more.

Another movie time changed for me is Grease. At first I thought there shenanigans were hysterical, and the plot was reasonable, but as I aged I thought they were more and more childish and that Sandy was a sellout.

Yes, France! Calli and I and several of our neighbors and friends are renting a house in the south of France that belongs to a couple of my friends in London. (Don't ask how I came to know a couple of guys in London who have enough money to have a second home in the south of France. It still boggles my mind. I remember when they were a couple of dudes in Seattle.)

Anyway, yes! It's going to be so much fun, and I'm really excited. I'm exercising austerity measures in the meantime (or trying to) in order to afford it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have an old vcr in the closet you can borrow, amyth, if you'd like another look at the tapes before sending them on.

Books that were different on rereading: The Great Gatsby made so much more sense at 19 than at 15. I never liked Daisy, but I understood the guys better the second time around. And I appreciated the prose style more, too.
