sunshine_queenUgh.
We closed on the apartment building today (HURRAH!) which means that when my parents got home we all went out to dinner, and dear sweet lord. An amazing plateful of shrimp cooked in different ways, a salad, their little cheesy biscuits, and dessert, and I am like, the biggest pig of all time and I am regretting it now, but we had a pretty good time. For us. Being as we are.
I finished "The White Countess" today, and, hee, it was a Merchant and Ivory film, which just sounds so, so old-fashioned, like the kind of partnership you would see on an advertisement for soap in the early 1900s. Anyway, the film had a surprisingly happy ending that neither my sister nor I saw coming, and I just love Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson.
Turns out Natasha Richardson plays the narrator (who I believe is named June in the book, but I don't think we know definitively) in "The Handmaid's Tale," and it just doesn't work for me at all, I don't know why. I do know that Faye Dunaway as Serena Joy is just about the best casting ever of all time. Man, do I love Faye Dunaway.
