living as an embodied spirit in a concupiscible world

Family Ties

Some time ago, during the wee sleepless hours of the first few weeks of the Sleeping Dragon's life, I stumbled upon this gem.  In case you didn't realize it, Arrested Development is The Brothers Karamazov.  If you don't believe me, read the article.  If you have not experienced one or both of these works of art, go find them.  (The links above will help.)

I love the idea of Hamlet in The Lion King, Emma in Clueless, and now Dostoevsky on Netflix! Literature reaches the deepest parts of us and so has the power to transcend time, place, and even medium.

Or, if you are a skeptic, the human brain is amazing at conjuring patterns that don't exist.  Either way, pretty awesome.
