My tax course materials arrived at the post office yesterday and I rode into town to get them, wondering on the way home how many other people around the world transport such things by horseback. Quite awkward to ride with a large cardboard box. When I get Deadwood back from
sarren I'm going to have to study how Jane carries Sofia. JD does a nice job

I've got 4 eps of Deadwood to go and I've got season one under the belt. Mr Tweed loves it as much as I do, so it's a nice 'watch together' experience. We find ourselves bellowing at each other in a Jane voice on occasion now *laughs*. Ah good times.
I agree with your comments about things coming across differently in the film of Brokeback Mountain to the story - it's like new aspects to the characters or situations are occuring to me each day.
Also regarding Brokeback Mountain, ever since I saw the movie I have lost interest in reading BBM fanfic. It's like I am worried I will dilute the movie experience, and I don't want to do that...not yet. (I'm sure there's great stories waiting to be read, but no...I need to take a step back for a while.)

A couple of scenes earlier, Jack says, after Ennis worries about people knowing, "Maybe you ought to get out of there, you know? Find yourself someplace different, maybe Texas." It was a pretty reasonable suggestion - he didn't say anything, that time, about them living together - and it's really too bad that even at that point in his life, Ennis couldn't consider making that much of a change. Jack tried and tried. I almost think it's sadder than never knowing that kind of love for someone at all.

Yes, that's so true. I still haven't seen the movie, but from the story and what I know of the movie(which is a lot; sometimes I forget I haven't actually seen it!), it's always struck me that Jack's story is sadder. Ennis is, at least until the end, protected by his own ... obliviousness? Or at least consciously. Jack *knows* what it is that he's not getting, is never going to get ...

Yes, I thought it was!
but because it's like solving a puzzle.
I do understand this bit. I used to positively enjoy doing large accounting consolidations with lots of subsidiaries of various ownership percentages, complex elimination entries and foreign currencies. It's the "rules and regulations" bit with tax and the mish-mash of legislation and case law that frustrates me!
