But really briefly... "Catnip" got analyzed in class today, and didn't come through too badly, although the pressing need for that second draft I'd already decided to do was confirmed.

And I saw American Beauty at the local dive, about which more anon. I'm still sorting through my feelings on the film. Actually, at the end of the film, I had no idea how I felt about it. In the few hours since, I've gotten a somewhat better handle on my reactions, but I'll need to stew over it a bit longer before I'm ready to write about it here.

As I said on the list, I'd just love to see them try this in New York. It would take all of ten seconds before somebody sprayed the thermometer with Freon or something, and voila! Instant discount!
