in my usual (in!!)decisive way i've scrapped yahoo, started on tumblr, then come back here ... and still wish that fb (my addiction!!) had a journalling function attached ... but i guess i can't have everything ...
currently reading (well, re-reading) The Last Magician ... it seems so much more impressionistic than the last time I read it ... i remember being so intrigued the first time through, now i'm just thinking 'hurry up, get to the story' ... still, it is so evocative of sydney in an era that i knew ... and luckily it's soooo long since i read it that i've forgotten enough of the plot to keep it interesting (LOL!!) ...
went to see sucker punch earlier in the week (not initially my idea) ... utterly frustrating movie! ... i've read these questions since about whether it's a blow for women's empowerment or not ... all i can say is 'oh c'mon!!' ... it just reiterates the question that's been around since samuel richardson wrote clarissa ... 'why do the women always have to die?' .... and there, gentle readers, is my question for the week ... why DO authors get to the end of the story and not know what to do with the 'loose ends' aka 'inconvenient' female characters ...?
