"I'm afraid he's got you..."

[crookedeye]

I meant to post this earlier, but had technical difficulties.

An illustration from this excerpt of Catch-22, by Joseph Heller:


‘Hasn’t he got any patriotism?’

‘Won’t you fight for your country?’ Colonel Korn demanded, emulating Colonel Cathcart’s harsh, self-righteous tone. Won’t you give up your life for Colonel Cathcart and me?’

Yossarian tensed with alert astonishment when he heard Colonel Korn’s concluding words. ‘What’s that?’ he exclaimed. ‘What have you and Colonel Cathcart got to do with my country? You’re not the same.’

‘How can you separate us?’ Colonel Korn inquired with ironical tranquility.

‘That’s right’ Colonel Cathcart cried emphatically. You’re either for us of against us. There’s no two ways about it.”

‘I’m afraid he’s got you,’ added Colonel Korn. ‘You’re either for us or against your country. It’s as simple as that.’

‘Oh, no, Colonel. I don’t buy that.’

Colonel Korn was unruffled. ‘Neither do I, frankly, but everyone else will. So there you are.’

Very powerful message, and art to match. Very nice work! b n_n d

A little off subject, you wouldn't happen to know when we're supposed to get together at the LA Art museum, would you? I think it was today (Friday the 28), but I don't know what time?

If you get the time, could you let me know?

Thanks. ^^;

Oh, don't worry about it. We all made it there safe and sound, and I did have a good time hanging out with you guys. I always have fun when hanging out with my friends. n_n

this drawing is HILARIOUS. Dark, but well-executed as well. Man, I wish I could draw like you!

Wow, I really like that, my dear. Very nice. I could go on to make political comments, but I will refrain. You know how I feel. *feathers ruffle up*

I will be so glad to see you again this weekend! You, I, and Andy will have much opportunity to discuss and debate then. :) I love you! See you soon!

Sarah!

I just realised we didn't discuss a time on which to meet at the art museum. Please let me know. I think I also forgot what day we were planning on getting together. ^^;;;

If you're around a computer, please let me know.

oh, yeah! I just emailed Erin about that. :) We're meeting on Sunday. the museum opens at 11am, so I was thinking we could meet then, if that's alright! The lobby seems the most logical place.. that okay?

Sounds good to me!

Thanks Sarah!

I'll talk to Erin, make sure that's good for her too. n_n

I'm thinking this will be a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to hanging out with you and Jason. n_n

Take care, Godbless!
