Slache Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The magician unloads on Molly Grue for telling the unicorn "I forgive you." He says that unicorns are for young girls, for beginnings." Old, beat-up, decidedly non-virgin Molly can touch the unicorn while he can't, and she says, "You don't know much about unicorns."The movie wasn't that detailed. "How dare you? How dare you come to me now? When I am this." Then she collapsed crying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I saw the movie. The book captured me in a way that the movie never did--although I like the movie, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 If you haven't, read Peter Beagle's The Last Unicorn. There's a quote in there by Molly Grue that brings tears to my eyes every time I read it. I've been wanting to read this. Dd14 read it and said it was wonderful! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Everyone must be off penning their masterpieces. I'm working on #$%^&*@ medical insurance. Despite vowing to never do so, I think that I'm going to have to go with Kaiser. I'm here.mspent half the morning at DS's school. They are having a big fund raising dinner tonight, so I helped cut fruit for the appetizer table. I also cut my finger. Then I went to the Afsa. My sweet DH offered to go for me because #sinusinfection, but as I was writing out the detailed list, I realized it would be easier to just go myself. Now I am ITTing, watching Clemson and NC State and baking French bread for dinner. I could make an entire meal on fresh homemade French bread and herb butter. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I didn't scream when I found a dead (drowned) body.

AMJ Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I need to go get my 2K in today. I used my downtime in between things to work on subplots, but I won't count that toward my word count. Then I went to the library, rented the rest of Baseball, the documentary, and collected more books for my 100 books list. I have: 2013 Best American Poetry anthology The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer's Block (I've never had it) and the Creative Brain 1824 The Arkansas War (historical fantasy!) The Pagan Knight (epic fantasy) On Writing (Stephen King) Two Ellis Peters: The Summer of the Danes, The Hermit of Eyton Forest Reading Like a Writer That should do to be getting on with.

Critterfixer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I made chicken noodle soup for dinner, and bought some french bread to go with it. My bread baking efforts of the past haven't turned out well, but I may try again this winter. I found a website called Rat Race Rebellion. Does anyone know it? It lists allegedly reputable work from home opportunities. I'm wondering that will be less stressful than leaving to work. It's an idea I'm pondering. Tonight, after the kids are in bed, I'm finishing up my schedule planning, and filing their work samples from the last seven or eight weeks. After that, I think I will read. I'm reading "The Address" by Fiona Davis for my first challenge book. It's the one I picked because I liked the font the title was set in. It's slow building, but interesting. It uses a shifting narrative technique, one from a woman in 1884 and one from a woman in 1985. I love reading your posts. One thing to consider before looking at work opportunities is what child care opportunities you have close to you. Even working at home with young children can be challenging. Whatever you do, don't just jump at it because it pays. You will want to look around for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
