It occurs to one as driving and listening to yet another bad Madonna song (teh bitch) that Rene/Janes is a twisted version of every old movie in which the noble hero might sort of fall in love with the wicked-yet-good girl, but she dies for him and he ends up with the all-good-but-boring girl. Which always pisses one off, whenever one sees it. (Destry Rides Again my ASS! Rene isMarlene Dietrich and I swear to Christ the image of him in drag singing Falling in Love Again while smoking, in some trashy, faded German cabaret hottest funniest thing this side of Peanut Butter Jelly Time). None of which has anything to do with anything, btw. Just a thought.
And cannot help Kittie with current writing problem. She asks me how to make a certain character "work it". Since Rene works it. And James works it. And Horatio works it. And Archie works it. And (I guess) Sparrington work it. And Tai-shan works it. But Shang....the Shang does not work it. This is a problem. He worked it back in Dream of You (for those who have read the Saga)and hasn't since then. I don't know. I would need a definition of work it. *feels like an old lady*
'Live From Baghdad' is on behind me. I weirdly love this movie. I just find it fascinating. But am too exhausted from shopping expeditions to write today. And must get tree tomorrow.
Tree!!!!!
*Tree Whore*

You're right about James. Pooks and I make jokes, but James would certainly make me nervous, were I dating him. James did give in so very easily. And you know...you just know someday that is going to come up in an argument.
Reminds me...I owe you prezzie for being superfan. Hmmm.

Ooohhh, can't wait. There were hints of this in the carriage ride when Rene accused James of having a jones for Suzette, but James could easily ignore that as drunken rambling.
Prezzie? Squee! Although I would feel like I was taking it under false pretenses really, I am a fan because it really is a superior piece of fiction. It's intelligent writing. Which is rare. You don't dumb down to the reader. You make the reader work a bit. I like that.
But, uh, hey, you want to write me a prezzie, make that a double squee, no whip.
