goodbyedinahgoodbye asked: Hello. I love you. I have no faith in that word. But, I have faith in you. The Rum Diary (the movie) SUCKED. The book blew my mind years ago- such a disappointment. I'm so happy to have found you in all of this madness. Keep posting, keep writing, and good luck.

karenfelloutofbedagain asked: I'm a long-time HST fan of the Fear and Loathing type, but last night I watched Where The Buffalo Roam for the first time and I was thoroughly impressed. I fell in love with Hunter all over again. I was wondering what your opinion is on the variation of how HST was portrayed? And also Lazlo. I was shocked to see him go from a lawyer who, you know, actually practices law, to a sort of...
