I think Frank the Goat has been at the mainframe again.

I woke up cold this morning, feeling the autumn in all my bones, aching, stiff, half dreamsick. Feeling -20, instead of only -02. This house can be a dark hole. A very cold dark hole. So we ate breakfast, then got dressed and had a good walk out to Freedom Park. Lots of sun, but not much

Thanks for all the comments the last couple of days. They've been appreciated.

I know how it is. But don't feel bad if you didn't get any for this entry--apparently your journal's not showing up on people's friends lists (I checked my own, robyn_ma's, and sovay's. I guess Frank still needs to cough up a few nuts and bolts.

thanks to Setsuled (setsuled) for the new Yoshitako Amano icon.

You're quite welcome. I also posted some extra icons on my journal, and you're welcome to any of those, too.

Terry Gilliam's Tideland.

I just got back from seeing it, and I agree with your assessment. I'd been strongly looking forward to the movie and I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. It's definitely my favourite movie of the year and I can't wait to have it on DVD.

I loved all the little references to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, especially when Dell started quoting the Caterpillar--or speaking as the Caterpillar. And I loved Jeliza-Rose, which was an extraordinary thing for me. Kids in movies usually annoy me, but Jeliza-Rose didn't, and the

"All these scripts are written with these super-smart kids with lines that adults should be doing, except let's put them in the kids' mouths, isn't that cute? I hate that."

My sentiments exactly.

Maybe Silk made you a celebrity in the spider world and the ones biting you are spider paparazzi?

Personally, I fear I'm the victim of arachnid double-dog dares...

I just got back from seeing it, and I agree with your assessment.

Good. That's a relief. I was so afraid this was gonna be another of those me-against-the-world things, and I hate that dren.

I read the book Tideland (by Mitch Cullin, is that right? The top of my head isn't working that well today) a while ago and knew straightaway why Terry Gilliam would want to make it - maybe only Guillermo Del Toro would be a more apt choice. We have a while to wait for the film to be released here in Switzerland but I am itching with excitement... I must get some cream ...

by Mitch Cullin, is that right?

Yep.

That was quick - I only mailed it Thursday! Glad to hear that the book made the journey safely. Herriman's one of my favorites, and it seemed a good fit for you...

it seemed a good fit for you...

A good match, indeed.:-)

This query is a few days old, but what the hell. Caitlin: What's in the picture hanging above your sofa in the photo (gorgeous!) of you in your elf gear on Halloween? Cripes, what a clunky sentence. Anyway, I'm most curious...

"Titania's Awakening" (1896) by Charles Sims (1873-1928).

I loved tideland too when I saw it. It reminded me of my childhood. (Which says a lot about what kind of childhood I had) It blew my mind away.
