Pokemon and Fitzgerald
You know~, I think a certain someone is just teasing me about watching Pokemon because she's embarrassed at liking it herself~!
Totally watched The First Movie today!
Pikachu's Vacation is interspersed with bizarre acid trips. The first is the freakiest, I think... :o
And now I've found a few things that I've been doing wrong in the Roleplay, too... Oops. :B
So I'm reading Tender Is The Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I must be a very shallow person, to fall in love with a character only a paragraph after she is first described. This line, though, is perfect:
"Her face was hard and lovely and pitiful."
...Yes, that's what made me fall in love with a character. This is only the fourth or fifth sentence in which she is even mentioned. Don't you guys like the contrasts there, though? How nothing there excludes the others, but none of the three is at all connected with any other? It's so much better in context, of course.
I wish that I could share with you some of the more substantial quotes, but they can go on for paragraphs. What's especially interesting is when a character speaks about The Great War- the language that's used is so fanciful and remote.
It's an odd coincidence that 'Campion' is a name used in the two most recent books I've read. I've never seen it used before...
