Diskwiss, when I cough while typing does it sound on your side like wind hitting a window?

That is so sweet how you and EB became a couple! Oh, I guess you're a triple now! I think its a really good thing that you are so different from one another. Couples who are too similar to each other, well I don't know. I guess its nice in some ways to see couples wearing matching pantsuits eating identical ice…

Diskwiss, why don't you roll around in fresh posts and then squish yourself against a canvas?

Twins would have been exciting but I can understand why you must be relieved, haha! Cocoapuff will keep you busy enough, Cocoapuff and Frootloop together would have maybe been too much!

Diskwiss, I may be losing my voice but I can still yell at you whenever I want.

Twins!! Your house would nearly be like the Pikes! I can already imagine Kristy offering you a BSC employee discount, haha! Will EB be with you at the doctor visit?

Now that you mention it, La guerre est finie is not the best example of the sort of romance I claimed to prefer. The story is realistic and the characters are mature and grounded. There is nothing fanciful about it. I don't think many people would call it a romance. But that one love scene and the conclusion are…

Diskwiss, the internet smells like feet again, when was the last time you changed your socks?

I'm sorry you're feeling so barfy, I hope that goes away soon. Then you'll notice that you are glowing! Once you have your appetite back remember you will need snacks for TWO. So when you would ordinarily have just one Kitkat, now you should have four. My math might be off a bit, but four Kitkats sound right anyway.

The best romances have to end tragically. Earthly coupling is all well and good, but lovers kept by the Fates apart on earth will spend eternity together, which is much better.

Thank you! Our library has access only to the sorriest collection though. I just checked, the only Gide is an electronic version of The Immoralist. But I will remember the name. I've become used to having to buy whatever I want to read, I miss having access to a proper library.

I have read that! YES, you are absolutely right, that is exactly what an autobiography should be!

I haven't listened to the commentary, but the DVD is still sitting above my desk and I will listen to it the next time I have two hours in a row. I won't watch it at the same time though, that seems just too much like talking in Church! Does he at all talk about the movie that Antonioni had intended to make with him…

Memoirs aren't always as engaging as you expect them to be. Jean Cocteau moved among the most exciting people of his time so I was thrilled to learn about his memoirs and reasonably assumed they would be loaded with interesting stories.

I just watched Beyond the Clouds for the second time and I've had the same bewildering reaction to it that I had the first time. Despite grumbling to myself about it throughout at least the first half, by the end of the last story I once again found myself crying! I suppose its impact might have built very slowly in…

This happens today with the packaging of almost any movie with Boris Karloff or Bela Lugosi. Boris Karloff can be playing a mild-mannered florist in a light comedy and the package will read DIE OF FRIGHT BEFORE THE GRAND GHOUL OF HORROR.

Diskwiss, what country do you root for in the Olympics? Or do you just root for whichever athlete is the biggest cheat?

Oh yeah, you are going to reinvent maternity wear! Have you been thinking of maternity themes? Like, particular patterns and colours? Have you ever seen decora maternity wear?

Diskwiss, as usual for Setsubun I'm going to throw beans at the computer screen to keep you on the other side of the internet.

I have a million questions of course like whether you will stay at your cousins and whether you will stay at your new school and even whether you will stay in Japan and so many more things! I look forward to hearing the story especially since you say its funny! I hope you haven't had morning sickness.
