candace, dear lord. I'm a little bit speechless. there are odd ideas that live in my head -- MY head, mind you -- and I don't really expect them to make sense to anyone else because those moments of synchrony are rare. but you've gone and plucked this one out and made it all full and finished and gorgeous. it's enough to make me start asking (along with our girls) -- are you Real? am I? do we live in each others' heads -- is it some sort of doppelcestuous brain-swap thing? regardless, I love it, because it's everything I would have written if I'd ever bothered to dig this out of some subconscious corner and think it through, which I didn't have to because you did it for me!

Our life together is just a collection of film strips, and cut dialogue, shoved in some stranger's drawer.

it's just brilliant. in too many ways for me to even start to describe -- not least of which is that it takes the whole canon mariska snark and turns it into something beautiful.

wow, I can't believe I made you speechless.
Thank you for your fabulous comments. I'm floored. You make me want to write more. (Or at least channel it into the Mariska/Olivia essay. Think this can be my abstract? ;p)

Oh how I love to mess with people's heads.

Nice to know I'm not just nuts. It must be some weird brain chemestry thing. lol. Or maybe we're both geniuses.

(Now, to think up a plausably implausable scenario for some Mariska/Olivia...Damn. Now I'm one of those)

You make me want to write more.

*mwahahahaha, my dastardly plan is working perrrrrfectly*

I would be SO EXCITED if you wrote a Mariska/Olivia essay. I avoided talking about Mariska in my paper because I wasn't sure how to approach her/it, and it was already way too long -- but I regret it now.

maybe we're both geniuses.

yup, uh uh, that must be it. *nods*

hehehe ;p

badbadbad. You do know I'm avoiding a pretentious lit essay for this perversion? Oh, how will the world cope without another essay on Wuthering Heights?
The Olivia/Mariska essay is already a mindfuck. It hurts. (in an awefully good way).

I wasn't sure how to approach her/it

Emphasis on it. hahaha. No, really. I'm certain that if you had more time/a larger wordcount you would have made it work. Seriously. (I wouldn't even be considering this topic if it weren't for your amazing paper). If you ever feel inclined to write one, or have the opportunity to, I would so very like to read your take on it.

Gah, I'm trying to figure out how the hell I'm going to justify this one. Something about blaming Mariska's influence outside the text for the current Olivia? (I really have to watch her hijinks at the Emmys, don't I?) I'm better at fiction than essays, anyway.

Uh-huh. Geniuses. It's official ;p

was running this by some friends today, who reminded me that there's a literature in film studies about the blurred boundaries between star and role in classical Hollywood. so I think there'd be material to work with if you really wanted to write this. I'm slated to TA a course called "cinema and stardom" next semester, in fact, and could try to get an advance copy of the syllabus for you if you're interested.

I don't have any relevant emmy clips, but I have the crucial Conan interview, if you haven't seen it.

Oh my god...you are my saviour! I am really serious about writing this. My subject co-ordinator was absurdly pleased at the thought. (i'm only allowed 2,500 words though. ain't no thesis). Still, that all sounds amazingly useful. Classical hollywood. (makes geeky note to research in that direction).

You'd seriously want to bother with getting an advance copy for me? (feels guilt...*considers types of bribery* I know you're uber-busy, giant-paper-writing etc.)

I haven't seen the conan interview...was thinking bribing a d/l off someone. ;)
I also meant the emmys this month. Dear Mariska'll be all over it, with her big scary toothy grin.

*considers types of bribery*

*considers too, hmmmmm* >;)

I emailed you stuff!
