Non-weekendy stuff
Aug. 11th, 2003 05:30 pmMy weekend was entirely devoid of interesting stuff.
Well, I picked up a dead cat off the road when I came home Friday night after the Neil Gaiman signing, but decided not to include that in a recount of the day's accounts, it seemed like too much of a downer.
( Kitty trauma, avoid if of the queasy persuasion )
Last night tv was boring as usual so I put on a dvd and watched Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, based on the Tennessee Willliams play. It's been a while since I last saw that movie, and it surprised me that I was noticing a lot of things that just hadn't struck the same kind of chord in me that they did now. Funny what a few years and a load of family issues will do to make you see things differently. And not that my family wasn't dysfunctional then, just on a different level, or maybe my thought patterns were just operating differently and different things were resonating with me at the time.
And I guess that's one of the things that makes this movie resonate a lot with me, even if it's an oldie, I just recognise too many of the little dysfunctional idiosyncracies in the family.
