| What's wrong with his hand?! |
One of my favorite books is, well, it is my favorite book,
East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's a family chronicle detailing the lives of the Trask family and Hamilton family in Salinas, California. One of the characters, Cathy Ames, is just evil. She uses her attractiveness to manipulate and ultimately destroy people. One of the things that happen as Cathy gets older is she develops arthritis in her hands and it's suggested that her hands age much more than the rest of her as she uses a lot of beauty cream and lotions on them. I'm just making observations, but if my hand looked like that, I'd wear gloves.

Jesus Christ, you can't not smoke for a four floor elevator ride? Can you take the stairs? Can you smoke in the stairwell?
I like that it's not even "You
can talk to me." (there's not even a period so she's not even saying a sentence) Gladys just goes "You talk to me" indicating, as Brutus complains, she does not listen. "Work, and capitalism in general, is beating me down, honey. I don't know if I can handle it anymore." "Mm-hmm. That's great. More coffee?"
