I have no advice but I completely agree with you--except for that strange, droopy hat she wears in several scenes. Such beautiful clothes and then that hat-very odd!
Oh, so many for me.
At about 10am one morning I was in the busy cafeteria of our head office when one of the Vice Presidents (who I had met only once or twice) took me aside. I had sat in bright pink gum on the bus and that said gum had spread all over the back of my black skirt. I was...
I agree, I think I like his writing in that form most of all. Eric Blair is high on my "if only I could have lunch with you, oh historical figure" list.
Orwell is one of my favorites--essays, short stories, novels he wrote them all wonderfully. I've memorized his rules for writers:

I loved Once--if you haven't seen it it's really worth a look; quiet little movie but the leads (who performed the song) are charming.
Swinton was quite the upset, wasn't she? I was so glad about Marion--she was incredible.
Thank you dear! It's been 11 years since my last visit--I can't quite believe that.
I've got a ton of "internet friends" there that I've never met in person--I'm hoping to see as many of them as I can. Also, I've never been there in the summer, only March and October. Maybe I can see...
