Rage, Rage Against The Dying of The Light.

The boy beside me in my English lecture yesterday wrote "Dillan Thomas." When I relayed this humorous anecdote to a friend later in the day, it reminded me of the scene in 'Lost in Translation' when Scarlett Johansson's husband tells her to stop being a smart ass when she laughs at a girl using Evelyn Waugh as a psuedo name.

Kelly: But listen, let's all go out for a drink sometimes. Yeah?
John: Yeah, yeah.
Kelly: You know, call me, okay?
John: Yeah, okay.
Kelly: Alright. Listen, I'm under Evelyn Waugh. Shh, okay?
Charlotte: [after Kelly leaves] Evelyn Waugh? Evelyn Waugh was a man.
John: Oh, come on, she's nice. What? You know, not everybody went to Yale. It's just a pseudonym, for Christ's sake.

Basically I felt like an asshole
