My mother died yesterday afternoon. She was fifty-seven. We knew she was ill but it was a very sudden stroke which felled her in the end. She was far too young, in any fair world, to die. I find myself angry sometimes, thinking of all the things she was getting ready to do. And then I find myself resigned. And then sad. Mostly, though, I am unable to give in fully to grieving. There is so much to arrange, so much to do, so much organization. I am almost relieved that my mind is so distracted. Friends have been generous, and I thank you. I have not yet absorbed what all this means in my life. I think that might take a while. posted by jane at August 26, 2003 10:46 PM | TrackBack |

 silly, fun, kinda interesting cinematic effects; paced like a videogame. The Rock is a decent comic actor as well as credible action hero. cool fighting scenes.  in spite of some good performances, i couldn't get over the condescending tone. it's a classic case of straight guy pretending to be gay, getting the girl and a better job, and safely being able to declare that he's straight - and escaping thr real problems of homophobia. left me feeling a little icky.  lulu gave me this book. it's magical. set in a fantasy industrial age new york city, suffused with mythology.  a great game. scary. i can't play it unless jesse's home. even then it's hard. i make him play it so i can cower behind the blanket and tell him to watch out for the bad guys. yeah, i'm that much of a wimp.
