They're really THAT good!! Apparently...
I told him I'd wait for the movies...
Why the fuck do the loons think sitting at a bus stop, quietly reading my book, is an invitation to talk to me??
Wait. You mean it doesn't? Hmmm. I wonder if that means it is also not okay to take IT OUT at such times.
In other news, I've just fallen head over heals down the rabbit hole which is Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend", the first of four novels which make up her Neapolitan Quartet. I hear it is getting made into a series by one of the premium channels.
It is making me think about the role a friend with some capacity for insanity plays in the lives of the normals around them. I think we have a few of those on these boards.
