All day long I’ve been forcing myself not to stop working and devour the brand new batch of personal essays at Fresh Yarn. There’s one in there by Illeana Douglas (Six Feet Under fans will remember her as Angela, the mortician without boundaries who temporarily held Rico’s job in the Fisher family business) called “I Blame Dennis Hopper.” Apparently it’s about her hippie childhood after her father had his entire perspective on life reconfigured by Easy Rider. I’m pretty sure my dad’s favorite movie when I was a kid was Terminator, so I might not be able to identify, but it sounds interesting.

I love Illeana Douglas! When they didn’t keep on with her on 6 Feet, my interest definitely waned. She was fantastic.

…just came back from reading her essay. She’s fantastic. Wish my parents had been hippies.

That may be the best sentence ever written. LOL!! Now I’m going to lose myself in some essay reading. :)

Wow. I really blew that comment. What I was referencing:
“I’m pretty sure my dad’s favorite movie when I was a kid was Terminator, so I might not be able to identify, but it sounds interesting.”
