ignoring paperwork to do this...
Feb. 15th, 2011 02:44 pmI was just coming over here to say I felt like I've abandoned this place, and I see I haven't posted since Feb. 3. EGAD. I SUCK.
Well, at any rate, just not very wordy lately.
I could have told you about the cool Poetry Competition yesterday, but alas I was sidelined by stomach flu. Also missed my Valentines lunch with mah pal. SADFACE.
But whatever ... so instead I watched this Cary Grant/Ronald Coleman/Jean Arthur movie The Talk of the Town and they totally would make a great OT3. Seen through slash/poly goggles, it pretty clear they'd be happy to move in together and eat a lot of borscht. (no, really, that's not a euphemism for anything, its a plot point.) But Cary gets the girl, and Ronnie gets appointed to the Supreme Court and a life of in the hallowed halls with only his colored man Tilney for company.
As a side note, there's a point where Ronnie shaves off his beard ... and there are all these cutaway closeups of Tilney crying as he does it. Very VERY odd, that.
I submit the tagline (per IMDb) for proof: Screen comedy so gay... drama so thrilling... love so exciting, it will be the talk of YOUR town!
Elsewise, I've been spending a lot of time in my art journal, but have also pirated the plot from an old Sidney Poitier movie and am trying to turn it into a Merlin story. It has possibilities if I can find the OOMPH to get writing.
