muerte de la pimpera

so this second draft of my translation is death slow...i just can't seem to make myself sit down and do it for very long. but, i am getting it done TONIGHT!

it's about a literary pimp-ess and a certain famous painter's fascination with her in his drawings and paintings. here's a hint: his first name is pablo. or was, since he done bit it. i guess i'm just tired of reading and writing about an old, ugly pimp-ess and her shenanigans. can you blame me?

in other news, way glad to hear that ry got a job. braden says, if ya gotta work fast food, quizno's is better than mcdonalds. but it's freaking expensive these days. good food, though.

i have decided to start reading literary classics. if they suck, i can (novel idea) put them down, unlike in high school or college. i devoured jane eyre in like 2 days. excellent book....and excellent movie. "ah, the helpful governess, a miss JANE EYRE!" "is grace poole another one of your...grand passions??" "hey nonny, nonny, hey nonny, nonny". "EVERY EVENING, JANE!!!" ah, good times. ry, you remember right? we used to watch that, and i just borrowed it from the in-laws. it's one of those movies that is simultaneously very good and very fun to make fun of. what is up with jane and mr. rochester never kissing on the lips? they like put their ears together and breathe... it's very humorous.

we just watched the new pride and prejudice with keira knightley. it was good, but i much prefer the bbc miniseries with colin firth. i didn't think much of the mr. darcy in this one, but he grew on me. and i was like, ew, get off. haha.

btw, kettle corn burns very easily, even if you think, i was listening and got there right when it stopped popping.

it was gorgeous today, but i've been in for most of the day. i did go out to the library to get some classics, though. i'm going to try out Kafka's Metamorphosis. nothing like waking up and realizing you're a giant vermin. makes your skin crawl, doesn't it?

well, back to work.
