Grr. Argh.
Jan. 13th, 2003 09:43 pmLJ ate my post. Bloody baskets!
I got to thinking about my obsessions today, all of them ever, and they really are sort of interesting. The big ones have been Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, Anne Perry, Buffy, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. Smaller ones have included Mary Stewart, Nero Wolfe, the musical Chicago.
You know, I think Chicago and Emma happened around the same time (such different things). I remember EB and I would swim around my pool after dinner randomly singing "All That Jazz", "Roxie", and "Nowadays". We'd go in when the mosquitoes got to us and it got too dark to be comfortable and we'd go in and watch Emma with Gwyneth Paltrow yet again. And then we'd watch it again. We kept re-renting it and eventually made a line in the tape! Oh, it was so much fun! And then, of course, there was The Cater Street Hangman. That was when we served ice cream in large purple plastic cups and EB used her fingers to stuff it in them. It was funny because half-way through the movie she turned to me and said, "Mar, what city are they in?" I think I just looked at her like she was crazy. "London," I said. We lost it after that. We had become so used to the accents that we no longer really noticed them.
Aw, now I'm feeling all nostalgic. I miss my EB!! :-( We didn't get to do anything this summer OR for our big birthday.
