Just came home. Went and saw Gone With the Wind at the paramount, an awesome awesome old theater downtown (7th and congress). And you know, I have my own Ashey Wilkes, but where's the god damn rhett?? I want a rhett. Dark haired, and clark gablish.

And moment of silence for Pavarotti and Madeline L'Engle whose famous death I've felt more than any. A Wrinkle In Time, A Ring of Endless Light, only a true genius was capable of such art.

"The book used concepts that Ms. L’Engle said she had plucked from Einstein’s theory of relativity and Planck’s quantum theory, almost flaunting her frequent assertion that children’s literature is literature too difficult for adults to understand."

Much love.
