Left Hand of Darkness reread: Monday

In which my prolific revisitation of LeGuin's Hugo- and Nubula-award-winning novel continues.  And yes, I'm a couple days behind because I don't have The Internet consistently and also because I'm lazy.

( Ch 3 - 'The Mad King' )

Films

Ah!  Voici une chose que je peux regarder/écouter pour practiquer ma français?!  *wince*

"Fires in the Mirror." We watched about half of this in a class yesterday.  I found it quite riveting.  People should all watch this.  Anna Deavere Smith is an amazing actor.  She plays characters of sundry genders, races, and creeds here, all to excellent effect.  Woman's like a fricking chameleon.

Politickin'

For the most part, I have Other Things to Post About.  On the occasion that I do post something political or divisively ideological, I shall offer up this advisory:
1. I lean left. Very.
2. I don't keep this journal for the sake of arguments, which can be found in many places on the internet, so parties who feel they may wish to argue are advised to not click on my political cuts.
Thanks!

( A response I find hilarious and germane. )
