*Children of Earth* is haunting me, and I mean that literally, in a lying-awake-in-the-dark-of-night, staring-at-the-dark-ceiling, unable-to-sleep kind of way. Because my head is full of all the awful conundrums and evils and necessary evils this astonishing and magnificent story weaves.
I’m kinda like this in the morning too: go ’way, lemme aloooone… It’s Cat Video (and TMI About MaryAnn) Friday.

green light (definitely check it out): The Edge of Love: I saw this on the plane going to England last fall. Good stuff about Dylan Thomas — it’s got Keira Knightley and everything! [Amazon U.S.] [now available at Amazon U.K.] Mad Men: Season 2: Funny how it makes the 60s look cool and stylish and … more…
