Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I believe they do say "may be used against you," not will. At least, not on Law & Order!

Wait, I take it back. I now have Jerry Orbach in my head saying "can and will..." Hmm.

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

This is what has been up my nose a lot. I'm glad I randomly asked. TV is clearly one jurisdiction...

And Life of Pi is clearly cheesy.

ita, the book or the movie?

Because books.

Life of Pi is one of those phenomenon (phenomena?) that just breezed right past me. I didn't read it, and I'm not particularly interested in the movie. No idea why.

The movie. I just...zero care there. I'm assuming it's clear the tiger thing didn't happen, which would have irritated me if I'd cared.

I enjoyed the book, mainly because it reminded me of a more entertaining Poisonwood Bible in structure. But backwards. (PB is all interesting stuff in half 1, stupid navelgazing in half 2). The CGI in the movie trailers I saw were unimpressive and I've never seen the movie.

Because books.

Barbara Kingsolver is another writer I've always meant to read and never have. That list is so long now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think you could expand that exhortation to pretty much anyone.
