Plebian tastes...

Everyone on my flist, it seems, has gone to see or wants to see Beowulf. Despite my English degree, I have no interest whatsoever.

Me, I wanna go see Enchanted.

I'd much rather see Enchanted.

I'm afraid I would have trouble watching Beowulf because I *would* want it to match the epic poem, which I read at the ripe old age of ten.

afraid so.

See, my mother had this trick -- she kept a copy in the car. This was in the days when you could still run into the store and leave the kid in the car.

Three of her four kids ended up reading it that way.

But in defense of my non-pure streak, I loved the Shrinklit version.
