started watching a harold pinter film called 'the accident' today, but it was a pile of shit. good news is that the dvd was a double bill and the other film on it - 'the family way' with hayley mills - was hilarious

I still like it, but I adore the book - Peter Beagle is one of my favorite authors. and chekhov - I approve
