Will from About A Boy.  Though I am really looking forward to the film.

i saw a tv commercial for the film a couple of days ago. i was all, "huh?" 
and it was all, "sit down and shut up." well, not really. but i'd heard of 
_about a boy_ because badly drawn boy did the soundtrack (which was recently 
released, and has gotten good reviews). i don't know why the existence of 
the soundtrack caused me to be confused about the existence of the film, but 
there it is. i haven't read the book, so i can't comment on hugh grant's 
suitability for the part...i suppose i prefer him as the charming befuddled 
englishman in _four weddings and a funeral_.

kate also said she's 16, which made me shed a tear for my lost youth. i 
recently turned 22 years old. it happened with more of a deflating noise 
than a bang, but what will you? i had exams the next week. my boyfriend 
called me up and had "desolation row" cued to the part about ophelia: "on 
her 22nd birthday, she already is an old maid." luckily, those lines are 
every third thing out of his mouth, so i was not shocked. all this to say 
that despite my best efforts, time's keeping tabs on me.

disjointedly,
aruni

p.s. exercising self-restraint here not to add to the top ten listage, i 
want to express my approval of REM's "automatic for the people" being put 
out there. that cd was my belle and sebastian before i had belle and 
sebastian.
