Long time readers know that I love F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. I’ve written about them several times. I came across a quote supposedly attributed to Scott today and thought about it.

It’s beautiful, truly beautiful. But it’s not Fitzgerald, it doesn’t sound like him unless you count his letters — to a point.

So, I thought this demanded research, as I cannot leave anything alone. After a few minutes of good old fashioned Googling, I found out it was from the film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is based on Fitzgerald’s short story of the same name. But the quote isn’t in the text. Curious, indeed. I surmise the rather lovely quote to be that of the film’s screenwriter, Eric Roth (it most certainly was not Brad Pitt).

Bravo, Mr. Roth. Nicely done. He also wrote the screenplays of Forrest Gump, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, A Star is Born, and many, many more aside from doing our Mr. Fitzgerald a great treatment on a great story.

Today no indictments came down for the murder of Breonna Taylor.

It’s 76° in Houston. You know what that means.

I want it to be autumn, so I decorated my mantel. It’s one of my favorite things. Cotton, fabric leaves, and small orange flower bunches. I like lanterns, can you tell? My great-grandmother’s lanterns are on her Hoosier cabinet in another part of the room. And that’s her iron next to the candlestick. Mixing it up. Waiting for fall.

This is devastating.

From a post from a film group I’m in on Facebook:

”Stay strong, don’t let her down. She never let us down. Cry tonight if you need to, but fight tomorrow because we have to. Oh, and vote like she’s fucking watching.”

Is ”twitterer” a word? Anyway, my new favorite twitterer is @roxiqt or Roxi Horror. She’s great. Go follow her.

I have a bunch of these and it only makes sense for this to be the first I post, because Lawd, isn’t it the truth.
