ouch! i am quite anxious. it's so unusual for a story to prick me painfully while i am still reading.

the undiscovered ocean by shalott--oh. it still hurts when i finish it! because it feels so real and true. and this, though the ending is not sad.

mfmmfmfmph.

::long slow shudder of... release?:: i'm getting painfully impatient to acquaint myself with canon. wax bought the first book for me. soon, preciousss.

new car-old car

my mom just bought a car--an adorable silver 01 chevy cavalier. the gas mileage is not phenomenal for a car that size, but it's better than our minivan's and she can probably get more for the van than she paid for the car (about $5500. whereas the van's value is more like $8000-$9000).

oh the lust though. i mean, i'm so jealous. it's spiffy and spotless and gorgeous. it handles like a DREAM.

the car i'm taking to texas is a 92 buick skylark--which are made for 70-year-old ladies anyway, and i've driven this car for so long! the heat and a/c are shot, the cd player is broken, the electric windows don't work anymore, the whole thing smells like mildew and the paint is horribly chipped all over the outside. it's actually worthless. the only thing in its favor is a V6 engine with a good deal of power, and some very neat handling. it gets worse gas mileage than a minivan.

watching the commentary on a knight's tale

hahaha. 'it's the kind of wine that walks up behind you, taps you on the shoulder, and says, "hey, i knew your grandfather."'

'shannyn sossamon's got that kinda audrey hepburn look going on... i don't know whether it's roman holiday or sabrina...'

'sabrina.'

'rufus sewell's got that same look.'

paul bettany is... really gorgeous. almost as nice to look at as rufus sewell. hahaha. on paul:

'when people watch you, i think there is an enormously fat, bald, bearded dwarf inside.'

'just waiting to get out, yeah.'

hahaha. 'this is another of the days i arrived on set and you'd re-written all your dialogue.'

'yeah, sorry.'

(no subject)

it is a little too trying to human flesh to be always conscious that you could've had a much longer and more satisfying conversation with hollsk if not for ooooooooooooone little thing.

(quote perverted from george eliot's middlemarch... in which rufus sewell starred!)

trillian hasn't worked in three days.

maybe i need to download msn messenger again.

so your uncle's the king of denmark.

rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead is really slashy.

dude, i mean, really. and awwww. i mean it's a comedy and i remember that but i didn't remember how it's sort of... wistful? poignant. what's the word i want?
