This is one of the greatest things I've read in a long while: The Great Gatsby is an alternative timeline where Jack survived Titanic.

I loved this book in HS and it's always felt dear to me, in general, I don't know why. Even when I haven't reread it in yeeeeears. Because of that (and the general ridiculousness of the soundtrack), I have no real wish to see the movie, maybe that's why the above link cracks me up so much. I mean, it's smart, well founded, and yet ironic all over the place. The author makes connections to most of Leo's films, 'proving' how Leo himself is reliving Jack's AU lives. It's so clever, and now seems so obvious.

I only wish they would have connected Jack to The Departed, a man who tries to make the best life that he can with what little he has and makes a few wrong turns that bring everyone down around/with him.

Though now I'm thinking of the time that neros_violin and I tried to plot out a J2~Departed and had fun swapping each of the guys into each role for varying reasons.

In other news, on my first Mother's Day (snort), the kitters sat on my full bladder while begging for treats. Perhaps it was my mistake to offer them some before getting out of bed.



Also, Lucy has finally become a cuddler :DDD
