    I would sug­gest that the cha­rac­ters are a little more well-rounded in the book, but some how I sus­pect this has very little to do with character-development, and much to do with the wine world. Yes?

    Slide on down to about 23:30 of cover­vi­lle 256, and you’ll find someone who who­lehear­tedly agrees.

    Go to Napa Valley, drive up Sil­ve­rado Trail and, while you may not be able to find the exact cha­rac­ters, you will find their spi­ri­tual kin.
    (Disc­lai­mer: Mary Sue does not sup­port mur­der. But if you tell the sou­less prestige-seeking yup­pies that the wine they are raving about is a $5 mer­lot you got at Safe­way and they keel over dead, well— that’s not REALLY mur­der, now, is it?)

    Ha ha! One of the rea­sons that movie was so enjo­ya­ble was pre­ci­sely b/c the cha­rac­ters were so horri­fic.
    Peo­ple you never want to meet in life mee­ting each other = great drama.
    Peo­ple you never want to meet in life mee­ting you in life = great desire to reach for hand grenade.

    Jann Arden has the best jour­nal! Her music is great and she will make you cry with laugh­ter at her con­certs.
    In her Novem­ber 18th, 2006 jour­nal entry she wri­tes:
    “Much has been made of hap­pi­ness; its advan­ta­ges, its effects on sleep, a long life, and gene­rally our ove­rall moods — or lack the­reof. I think hap­pi­ness is ove­rra­ted for the most part.
    It’s simply not a state one can remain in for long periods of time. It’s not natu­ral to be happy ALL the time. The last per­son I want to talk to at a party, din­ner or other­wise, is the per­son who seems overly happy. I would more than likely find myself gra­vi­ta­ting towards the guy but­ting his ciga­rette out into the gera­nium, or the woman with a black eye.
    I find them tiring, happy peo­ple. I mean, it’s not that I have anything against “happy” peo­ple, I just feel bet­ter when I am not around them.“
