I'm not really great with all this megaupload stuff (but if you can explain it, then I could certainly get it to you ASAP).

Read the book. It just came back in print (thanks movie) and is probably the most delightful book I've ever read.

If you want to do an exchange sometime, I'd definitely make a copy for you.

No. I should look for it. I'm a big sucker for England-between-the-wars stuff.

I wish I still had the SKOW soundtrack (I had it on tape). Particularly that Flesh for Lulu song.

Have you read Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day?

A new work schedule, more responsibilities at work, wonky home computer are all the reasons why I have not visited MC in so long and I missed the opportunity to get in the contest. I shall remedy this with a couple new mixes (perhaps soundtrack-related) v. soon. Like by the end of the weekend.

I found The Sea The Sea an incredibly exciting read, although it didn't turn out quite like I imagined. Long-held fantasies of seaside living probably added to my appreciation.

I kept thinking of PMing you about the most recent contest here. I know you were planning something very similar!

I need to get crackin' and read The Sea, The Sea. It's been sitting on my shelf for ages!

re: Chris Eigeman. I know! Say it ain't so!

I think "Metropolitan" is meant to be autobiographical, and thus taking place in the 70s. They didn't have the budget for a period shoot, though.

It's amazing that Stillman has gone so long without making a movie. Meanwhile, Chris Eigeman is getting fat.

If nothing else, I've succeeded in renewing your interest in Metropolitan. What year do you think it takes place in?

FTOTZ woo hoo!

Greetings, Miss Pink!
