panther hollow

i decided that the bridge that goes from the carnegie to phipps over panther hollow is my favourite new place. there are these two overlooks at either end of the bridge that allow you to look out over the hollow and at the back of the carnegie complex. it's a strange view, everything looks uber instrustrial with smoke rising. i don't know why it got me. i started thinking about the mysteries of pgh and how much i love that book. not to sound lame, but things that make me happy, really make me happy. like books that i could read 900 times, and movies i could watch eternally simply to see that one scene that i adore. anyway.

i might have to view the new version with extra features (like a dvd folks). also, as reported on m. chabon's website:

As if to celebrate the recent reissue of this 1988 novel by HarperCollins, with a swank new cover, a proposed film adaptation of the book is now in the works, to be written and directed by Rawson Thurber, writer/director of the commercially successful and highly amusing Dodgeball (2004). Mr. T.’s script is top notch.

anyway, if that was of interest to anyone, i'm glad i could share it.
