Beth (reading a newspaper): Here's a lady who had a hysterectomy. She took her uterus home with her in a jar so that her son and his friends could see it. Then she was going to bury it and plant a tree over it.
Husband: This is all you see in the papers? Why don't you read the real news?
Beth: That's pretty real, isn't it?

Just watched "Monkey Grip" the 1982 film based on what is probably my favourite Australian novel. Never knew the film version existed until today (it's on iview for free). It was definitely missing the magic of the book but it has some moments.

開始抄 Helen Garner 1987-1995 的日記：One Day I’ll Remember This
記得之前曾問過是否有人使用歷史現在時記英文日記，今天發現 Helen Garner 的日記的很多條目就用了歷史現在時。
所有想開始記英文日記的母語為中文的朋友都推薦使用歷史現在時，能大大簡化時態問題。（暫時不考慮文學性。）
