she's a lovely girl, hubbell. . .

marcy and i watched "the way we were" this weekend, starring barbra streisand and robert redford.

it was so good, man. the movie was about the mccarthy era witch hunt of the film industry in the 1950s. katie had a day job but seemed to be some sort of professional protester (anti war, anti atom bomb, pro free speech, etc) and hubbell is an aspiring screenwriter. it's about love and times of passion in love and times of passion.

brad pitt and robert redford have such similar facial expressions, it's uncanny. i think someone said that about me and luke perry once. carrie bradshaw is certainly based off of katie - maybe half katie and half elizabeth bennet. er, 1/3 katie, 1/3 elizabeth bennet and 1/3 annie hall.

barbra has these crazy long fingers/hands, it makes every body gesture seem so grand and dramatic. in this movie, her fingernails are very long and very red, like you see in the windows of nail salons.

everyone ends up happy in the end, not in nostalgic or cinematic tradition, but in their own way. marcy said that it didn't matter what robert redford did, she'd never leave him with his hot bod. i agree, he has a hot bod and hot face and hot hair (the one and only blonde man i've ever been attracted to).

some women can't be tamed (rawwwr!); katie surely could not be. maybe that's my problem, maybe i can't be tamed either. yeah, not really getting into that here.



less than two weeks until paul is married, which also means less than two weeks until our big hiking trip. no boots yet, just buliding an appetite for lentils and granola. . .actually, i'm already eating like i'm hiking.

and to that tune, marcy got me a food dehydrator for my birthday, it's being shipped. preserve those enzymes, people!
