Saturday looks good to me

[calledinvain]

I like to balance my culture with a nice steady dollop of pure cheese - I just got back from the Getty Villa in L.A., and now I'm going to curl up with my beloved Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and then re-read all of Her Majesty's Dog. I also read The Fun Home while I was waiting for my ride to the Villa, and I got the same feeling I got after reading Craig Thompson's Blankets, disbelief that someone could make words and pictures work that way, and in tandem, and telling a story that is both unique to the individual and yet universal in feeling - love, hate, despair. And of course, creatively awed and jealous - it inspires.

But for now, I'm going to sit on my bed and watch Diego Luna's hips do that crazy thing. Fight the Power, you crazy kids! Shine on with your magic hips!
