A few random things...

Saw a free screening of the "Around the World in 80 Days" remake tonight.  It was pretty harmless Disneyfied escapism with a lot of fight scenes and broad, flat comedy.  I did enjoy some of the cameos--Ah-nuld (I'm not going to attempt to spell his last name and I'm too lazy to look it up) was amusing as a horny Turkish prince, and it was fun to see Kathy Bates as Queen Victoria.  Cécile de France, who I enjoyed in "L'Auberge Espagnole," just annoyed me here....all the contrived perkiness of 10 Disney heroines rolled into one.

I bought a cute new outfit today...a lacy turquoise spaghetti strap top and a short turquoise chiffon skirt.  Yay for frivolous expenditures...ah, well...I get my first paycheck from AMC soon.

Igby: How many Vassar professors and intellectual theologians beget nymphomaniacal, pseudo-Bohemian JAPs? 
Sookie: I am not a JAP.

Oliver: [on Igby] I think if Gandhi had to spend a prolonged amount of time with you, he'd end up beating the shit out of you, too.

Sookie: You call your mother "Mimi"?
Igby: "Heinous One" is a bit cumbersome.  

Sookie:  He's your brother, you act like you hate him. 
Igby:  I do. I do hate him. He's totally hateable. Evil niblet fuck.

Igby: [on Ollie] He was ten-speeding a gazillion miles per hour through Central Park. You know, racing with all the other young Turks. When, all of a sudden he caught a glimpse of himself in the handlebar mirror and became so... aroused by it that he burst his Speedo shorts which then got caught in the gears and threw him right on his face. Splatter.

Bunny: Igby, I could just eat you with a spoon.
Igby: Don't.

And my favorite... 

Russell:  I told her; Lorna Luft was just too fucking obscure. People just think you're doing a bad Liza.

Alright, we REALLY need to take up a collection to get Maya a digital camera so we can have online fashion shows!

Hehe...I love how you come out of the woodwork, Jed, whenever I mention my clothes.

I'm hoping for a digital camera for Christmas! ;)

Ahhh yes...Igby Goes Down.

Watched that one last July.

There's an entry about it from them, but it's depressing, so I won't link it.

Awww, I hope things have gotten better since then (whatever it was that was making you depressed).

It's one of my new favorite movies...uncompromisingly bitter and caustic, but also compassionate towards its characters. Have you seen "Tadpole?" (Something tells me you have). Another great movie about a too-smart-for-his-own-good wayward youth.

Yup, saw Tadpole. Liked that one. It didn't depress me.

Unlike Igby.

It's not that I didn't like the movie - I did, a great deal - but it roused up a variety of feelings that were decidedly unpleasant.

Expect a depressed anniversary post on July 29th, or thereabouts.

Things have changed, but not necessarily enough.

Look...I don't want to offer you a bunch of treacly compliments in response to that year-old journal entry, but I do want to say that I added you to my friends' list because you seemed like a remarkably intelligent, witty guy, and I haven't changed my opinion. You're going to do fine in life, whether it's as a writer of musicals, plays, novels, or whatever. Blah...I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so I'm going to end here before I end up writing something that is better suited to being on a Hallmark card.

I definitely have a little bit of Igby in myself as well, despite being a girl. Except my sibling is an animé-obsessed liberal-as-hell lesbian, not an assholey Young Republican (no offense to any Republicans reading this).
