quiz 31 July 2009
The 3rd movie date with Himself has happened – at home this time (3 in such a short time!!!!! what the hell is going on????) – we got SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE out. I think I’d freeze totally when faced with choices in a quiz type situation, especially if it mattered (ie a prize was involved). Put it this way, I can know FOR SURE that I am right about something (though hopefully never Right…wing) and still doubt myself enough to change my mind and turn out to be wrong, then, ultimately, and a woman who should have stuck to what she knew…and then there are The Embarrassments…like…I corrected a word in a line of poetry on SHAMELESS recently and was wrong and only just lucky enough that we went to a 2nd day on the scene and I had had a niggling doubt and consulted a reliable source (thought I had in the first place mind…2 of them actually) and so got the thing back on track – I said to the script editor (with regret in my voice) ‘guess I’m not on the high ground anymore’ to which she replied ‘ you never were’ = EEEK!
