I just finished reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café. I loved the movie as a kid, I watched it lots of times, and at last I read the book. It was really beautiful, and it reminded me a bit of Gabriel García Márquez's Cien años de soledad, with its naturalistic writing, and the characters who looked so alive and real. Now I want to see the movie again, even if I'll probably cry, because it reminds me so much of mom, dad and Alice and the evenings spent watching it.

Tomorrow I'll spend the day with mom's best friend, we'll have lunch together and then we'll go to the hospital. It's been a while since I last saw her, and I can't wait to spend some time with her, chit-chatting and so. She's such a lovely person! ^^

EDIT: XXX-Holic #118 translations here. I want to see the scans! It's like...whoa... Clamp are so evil! They enjoy making their characters suffer from horrible fates...:'(

EDIT 2: Here for the chinese raws. Password is: shenshi. Poor Himawari-chan... :(

I love love love that book! I've lost count of how many times I've read it. If you liked that one, she has another one that's almost as good, Daisy Fay and the Miricle Man.

She's awesome. She was also in the movie Grease as the school secretary.

Ohhh davvero quel libro ti ricorda un pò Cent'anni di solitudine?!!*O*
Allora voglio leggerlo!Márquez è il mio autore preferito,e Cent'anni il libro che più amo in assoluto.....mi hai messo una gran curiosità adesso su questo titolo!^__^

Beh, è molto diverso, però non so che dire, l'atmosfera me l'ha riportato alla mente... poi è uno splendido ritratto degli Stati Uniti del Sud durante tutto il secolo scorso, molto affascinante.

Anche se i miei Buendía restano sempre al primo posto nel mio cuore! ^^

ecco, quello è esattamente uno dei film che voglio vedere, che avranno fatto cento volte in tv e che non becco mai...

Ti piacerà moltissimo! Quando ero piccola lo facevano sempre, ma ultimamente non l'hanno più passato. =_=

Che bel film ho ancora la videocassetta e il cd della colonna sonora! Davvero commovente, chissà se è uscito in DVD.

Hello..ano, I came across your journal from a friend.^^ I'm studying to become an Archaeologist too! (Well, trying to..^^;)
Etou, do you mind if I friend you? ('~')

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Wow, another archaeologist!!! Welcome aboard!!! *____________*

What's your favourite field? Mine is topography, most of all roman one. ^^

[okami-rei.livejournal.com]

ooh, that's a hard question..
hm..I've been more interested in the Archaeology in Europe..so I guess that counts as classical Archaeology?^^;

I'm very glad to meet you!^^

Maybe Medieval Archaeology? It's very fascinating!
