that old chestnut


after a three hour drive, with a hysterically pregnant dog, we arrived and had the obligatory chat with local yocals at which point we entered the house, which was in a state disarray. why you may ask, young reader? nothing upsets the young fraulein krause as to see her archive of film not in the established order. so with an unusual vigour, whigh in my 12 years of knowing mein schatzie i had yet to see, she became myopic in her pursuit of cinematic perfection. she told me, dismissively, to get on with whatever i have to get on with, because SHE would be seriously involved in rearanging and organizing the home-video collection with a logic all of her own. which involved tape markers, categories and sub-categories, alphabetization was contemptated but swiftly abandonded (after the 4 glass of wine).

the day after, armed with nothing but a bowl of broth, she went to collect 5 tonnes of chestnuts.

yours sincerely perplexed lisa

DVDs just *have* to be kept in alphabetical order.

It's a Law of God.

let's watch "party girl" and the discuss/argue about the best way to archive shall we. am not convinced alphabetical is the way forward, unless it's a sub category of a sub category. if you know what i mean.

Teen crud is the new cult classic. That's all i'm saying.

Still looking forward to Behind Convent Walls, which transcends the two genres, obviously.

Just make sure there's one category called 'Jake's masterpiece'.

I hope you have "Err- The Musical" on the top shelf.

1. errr the musical is now a special collector's edition and attached to the archive. with a special in-house production label.

2. beyond convent walls and other dubious romps are in arty filth.

3. am hoping to crank jake/lynch/romy into their own sub-categories soon.

I agree with the random classification, after all you don't find books in a library in alphabetical order, but in categories..
as teen crud, there is a new one out, for adult teens.. californication!
