Day 44

Literati was not too shabby today. the game was extremely close. in the end she took me by a couple points. I wish her manners had been as good as her playing though since she said absolutely nothing the entire game even though I had been cordial. I did pick up a new word in our game however "SHOG"

Here is today's board:

American Short Story Collection: Rappaccini's Daughter

(Description from Netflix)With an introduction by Henry Fonda, this version of Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story, set in 18th-century Italy, tells of botanist Dr. Rappaccini (Leonardo Cimino), who has weaned his beautiful daughter (Kathleen Beller) on poison so she can help him with his plant experiments. However, in so doing, he's made it impossible for her to have physical contact with humans ... until a handsome student (Kristoffer Tabori) moves next door.

I could find no trailer to this one. It was short and hour at best. Based upon a short story. A darker romance story. Kind of reminded me of a Romeo and Juliet version of Adam and Eve.

A young scholar takes boarding next to a spectacular garden. Just as spectacular as the garden is the lovely young caretaker of them. Her Father is a famous botanist who in an attempt to have the best knowledge of some plants aided the young caretaker in becoming immune to the poisons of some of them. This also takes its toll on the young woman's heart. She is well aware of her fate. She cannot have contact with others. Her body flows with the same poisons as the plants about her. The young scholar will become very aware of this after she touches him leaving her mark... literally.

Since it was so short I felt I would watch another...



A Room With A View 1986

Oh the music in this one was so soothing and yet an odd mix. Beethoven and Opera. What a combo. Overall a refreshing love story.

Lucy travels with her cousin to Italy. There she meets the oddest young man named George. He is there with his Father. They meet over dinner as she and her cousin Charlotte are discussing their room had no view. Women after all prefer a lovely view. George's Father offers to switch rooms with the ladies which after declining wind up persuaded to accept the kind offer.

Their stay was to be a week which Charlotte calls short after George falls for Lucy and kisses her in a field of poppies in an almost lustful yearning kiss she had not expected from him. Upon returning home a man named Cecil proposes to Lucy. She agrees to it. Throw in the twist that George's Father will come to rent a villa in town and George will visit him on weekends.

Lucy's brother likes George's company and does not know of the past between Lucy and George. Will it only complicate matters or will she continue on to marry Cecil? I know... but I am not telling.

In IMVU today I went with a brighter item. I had not thought much of it but I was told after a couple people saw them that they should go over well in the homosexual community. I suppose it might be right. I just did them because R = Rainbow and I love bright colors. Either way here is today's project:
