welcome to t. g. i. mcscratchy's
Incidentally, I'd like to join the rest of you in giving 2009 a sound boot in its smug, resentful, withholding ass on its way out the door. So long, year, and never come back.
. harold and kumar and maria and vanessa go to bed. together. | harold and kumar - wow, I haven't even seen the second movie yet and can't remember/don't know what the girls look like, but knowing what the boys look like is enough for now. Also, Maria and Vanessa are smart and have good ideas.
. it's the thought that counts | harold and kumar - ahahahaahah omg Kumar leaves gifts of food lying around for Harold! LIKE A CAT! This is hilarious to me for reasons only![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glockgal will understand, but it's a sweet and funny story even without in-jokes.
. mr. yunioshi's photographs | breakfast at tiffany's - I don't need to tell you what a horror this character was in the movie, so it's sheer delight to read a quiet, sleepy story where he's a human being instead of a caricature.
. la adelita | like water for chocolate - all about gertrudis and war and there's no food, but goddammit, even for me that's not a deficit. Gloriously like Esquivel but strongly original and bold.
. rome | gattaca - a spindly, polished, self-loathing highball of a story that loops around on itself with a fascinating viciousness.
And that's it for a while. I'm leaving work now and school starts up again next week, so heaven knows when I'll start back with recs again, but I definitely shall! And meanwhile, I will leave you with an exhortation to read the Yuletide story that was written for me:
. the principles of professional pride, by precious ramotswe | the no. 1 ladies' detective agency (tv) - a juicy-golden fruit syrup of a story, smooth and sweet with flecks of wry humour and characterization that would coat a spoon. I love it so much!!
