A friend of mine has a comment in her journal where a friend of hers tells her that 'tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow is another day'.
I don't know why, but it's been gnawing on me all morning. If you love me, do your Uncle Chuck a favor and don't post things like that in this journal.
Yesterday we finished watching Gormenghast, and it has made me want to read the books. The ending was unexpected, because I thought there were another couple of hours left, but it solved the question of 'what can they do for two more episodes?' Very weird, and very pretty. And mmmm evil kitchen boys.
Toast knew I'd be bored in the morning, so he decided to hide my glasses, giving me something else to do this morning.

So you'd reccomend reading them, then?
I'd miss all the weird-ass modern art visuals, but I'm still strongly tempted.

yes, the writing is beautiful - lyric and very wry.

I have come to the conclusion that "Tomorrow will be better" is an unfair statement all I can say is that Tomorrow will be different.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound anf fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth, V.v.19-28 (Macbeth)

This is my main cognitive dissonance here, the combination in a single sentence of Shakespeare's sentiment and Margaret Mitchell's.

What does it say about me that I knew the Macbeth but not the Mitchell?

Um.
That you've never read 'Gone With the Wind'?
(The working title was 'Tomorrow is Another Day'.)
