I'm going to go a bit mad. Also, things
I have changed the circumstances of this story about eight times, and I haven't liked any of the versions. I may have to ask for an extension. I don't want to ask for an extension. Fu.
Right now, I'm curled up on my mum's sofa with like, three blankets and my new coat. I got a new coat, because while my existing coat is a lovely coat, it's not quite big enough to wear over a hoodie or curl up in properly. This new one, I picked up at the Salvation Army yesterday, for $8.00. It's a bit long in the sleeves, but I have a good tailor. The really impressive thing is that it's a London Fog coat, and one that's been out of production for a while, but which I managed to price at slightly over $200. I sort of love when thrift shops don't know what sort of treasures they've got on their racks.
I also picked up the novel of Wonder Boys yesterday. It took me a while to get over Chabon's style, and I still can't quite decide if I like the novel for what it is, or just because it's proof that film adaptations can follow the book. But where it differs, it really differs. I can't quite tell what the hell the relationship between Tripp and Crabtree is supposed to be in this thing. I also think Crabtree may have OCD. That, or he's just generically completely mad.
Speaking of different, everything up here is. I suppose this is what happens when you only come home once a year, at most. Terry's cut off all his hair, Josh is putting on weight, and they both live in my mum's attic. They also built onto the house over the last year, creating a mancave for Grant, but which everyone else sees fit to invade.
I'm considering, once everything opens, ordering some Chinese and just getting cracking on this story. I think I may wind up having to hate it just to get it done. blah
