thoughts (somewhat) aloud on Pirates, next edition

[themeletor]

"Gillette. Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it," could creatively also mean "don't let the redcoats go off and shoot him." except whatever, the redcoats wouldn't shoot him, but there gets to be a point where, even with Sparrington, you're scraping the barrel for subtext.

also -- apparently when writing the mutiny sequence in Psalms I forgot that um, if it's windy enough for them to have to take in sail that severely, the deck's not gonna just stay nice and level. in fact, it's going to not-stay-level enough that I might want to toss in a phrase to that effect, or something, while writing. oops. ...live and learn.

back to the movie; let's see how far I get tonight :)

Mwahahah, that makes perfect sense. "I still want to shag him tonight, so don't shoot him into the arse."

or, um, also, "don't kill him", possibly, but anyway yeah either one seems a bit unlikely. whatever.
