Now just today ago I was visiting a friend's live journal and i read the most amazing entry. He said that he was visiting a friend's house a few days ago and saw the most amazing table. He said the Table belonged to Willaim Randolph Hearst. Now, Willaim Randolph Hearst was a big newspaper tycoon...a lot of people say Citizen Kane was based on Hearst (big newspaper tycoon, yellow journalism, acclaimed starlett as the lady involved, humongous castle on a hilltop...)... This hearst table-related entry...all i could think about for the first 25 minutes of reading it was 'Great Gatsby' and how the way the entry felt and appeared seemed really really close to the way I'd always imagined it should, were there ever to be an entry about a Gatsby table ....and then WOOMPH! My friend says in the entry that WOOMPH! the friend said 'yes, if any of you know the story of The Great Gatsby, the table gatsby used was based on Hearst's new york estate table...'!
Do i intend on having this table-related entry as my own? Good god no! But i do intend on creating my own table-related entry!
AND BY GOD, I'VE DONE IT!
