Happiness is a tv-numbed brain
Yay for not thinking all afternoon and evening. I watched the original version of Sabrina, and then after dinner, I watched a ridiculous amount of reality tv. Re: Sabrina...you know, I can't help it: I just don't like Audrey Hepburn that much. She bugs me. Yes, she is charming/elegant in the way that most classic movie stars are, but I guess...I think what it is is that I can't see her as anything other than Audrey Hepburn, and that's not really her fault. I think I see the icon, not the character she's playing. Ahh, revelation. It's not *her* that bugs me, then, it's that I can't see her characters. I felt the same way about Marilyn Monroe when I watched the Seven Year Itch (which - yes, I'll admit it - I think was the first and only film of hers that I've watched).
Tomorrow, Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. I wonder if I'll start hearing more drawling as we head closer that way. Honestly, I'm not in the mood for a mini-road trip - I am sick of cars, trains, subways, planes, and buses. And I don't want anyone to feel like they have to entertain me. I just want to be lazy, damnit, and go out when I feel bored!
I'm so ungrateful. My hostess is the sweetest.
Gah, but I am so looking forward to having my own space again.
What do you want to bet, though, that as soon as I have it, I'll be lonely?
I finally finished Life of Pi. Gotta say: last half of the book totally makes up for the first half (or maybe I just got used to the slow pace). Now I'm starting Alex Garland's The Coma, the free book I picked up in the Edwardian Tea Room at that gallery in Birmingham (check out bookcrossing.com).
