I worked late and was tired and couldn't face the subway trip home so I took the Long Island Railroad instead. It's a terrible splurge -- six bucks for a five-minute ride. My stop is the first one out of Penn Station so there's always a chance the conductor won't get around to me before I hit my stop. Which means I still have my unused ticket and it's good for six months. Today the conductor didn't get around to taking my ticket so I have six months to use that ticket again. And this was the best thing that's happened to me in a quite a while.
I think my life needs a serious readjustment. Or something.
Also
I read a review of the new and wholly inexplicable Brideshead feature film that said that in this version, Julia accompanies Sebastian and Charles to Venice. This is where Charles and Julia fall in love and this is what precipitates Sebastian's descent into alcoholic despair. And then Lady Marchmain forbids Julia and Charles from being together because Charles is an agnostic.
Is this possible??? I really want to see this movie just to see how completely shitty it is. It sounds AWFUL.
