i know, i never thought i'd be blogging about this book either! so this is my post-1990 bestseller and what it tells me about society is: "society has a short attention span and a deep love of ellipses." though i found the writing style lacking in a number of ways, i was actually enjoying the story before it got so incredibly convoluted that literally nothing made sense to me. i am pretty fascinated by the fact that this book, which has been an NYT bestseller since 1984 or something, basically centers on the idea that jesus christ and mary magdalene were like, a thing, and had a baby and a royal lineage. and that christianity is all a lie (actually, according to my mom, my dad refuses to read this book because he "can't get past the jesus and mary stuff"). but what was really interesting to me was that there was no code actually written in the cracks of paint on mona lisa like there is in the movie trailer. i think i've been duped!

the whole jesus and mary magdalene secret love affair/love child thing isn't original to da vinci code, which i'm sure you know already, but i figured i'd point out the recycled plot anyway. :)
ps--you've seen the trailer? does tom hanks have that scary straightened hair he's been sporting lately?
you have to see the trailer. tom hanks is supposed to look all "academic," which i guess translates to too long, lank, weird looking straight hair.
actually, that's how i earned my "academic" status, so i guess i shouldn't judge.
your hair is naturally straight, though! and you don't have male-pattern baldness, either. plus you're cute, and not a weird-looking middle-aged guy.
ps-tip to dudes whose foreheads are getting bigger: you look stupid with long hair.
