I forgot to add... for your viewing pleasure... the lost novel of Jane Austen... "Mr Willoughby."

Went to the doctor, again, yesterday. I'm now on 80 mg of fluoxitine. It had better be enough, because I can't have the dose increased, anymore. Something about it being toxic.... I love that about medicine, really. The line between poison and antidote is so slim. Not just that antidotes are made from venom, but that there are cures for ( Read more... )

*swoons* The last part of "Jane Eyre" just ended. Glorious! I don't have time to write a full-length squee (still have to do my French poster, and I'm meant to be in bed)-- I just wanted to say how wonderful it is! Sandy Welch and Susanna White even made the bits with St John Rivers & Co. engrossing.

Does no one else think that Hollywood's fantasy obsession will never end? Look, people, please. I've read pretty much every single fantasy book out there. Not all, sure, but most. And... how do I say this? They are not all as good as LOTR. For you, Hollywood, that means that they won't all make as much money as LOTR did. See, there are two ( Read more... )

Mark your calendars, my darlings.

It's a Snow Day, which is wonderful. I'm going to write my essay on Silence. (I'm running with the third prompt: "Which matters more: What one says, or what one believes? In what ways does the eponymous theme of 'silence' function in the novel? What types of silence are there?") I also plan to take the dogs for ( Read more... )

My mother read my brother and me this book, when we were kids. I loved it. This adaptation? Hilarious. Robinson Crusoe is not known for the funnies. But, then, it's also not known for Pierce Bronson. Now, I'm sure that this seemed like a perfectly good casting descion, at the time. But ( Read more... )

Haven't been to sleep yet. And it was my last chance to sleep, at night, in 2006. Oh, well. It's unoffical Hugh Jackman night. First, he was on Saturday Night Live-- and he sang a Christmas carol, as it was a Christmas episode. I knew that he could sing, because he starred in "Carosel", a few years ago, on stage ( Read more... )

I'm watching TV still. Yes, at this hour. I got a Jane Austen Collection for Chrimbo, so I watched the 1980's P&P (P&P1 with Elizabeth Garvie and David Rintoul, who was actually nearly as good as Colin Firth-- Rintoul looks more like Darcy, but Firth captured the character slightley better). That's not why I'm writing, though. I'm writing ( Read more... )

I haven't anything to post, really. I didn't go to school, today. We were just going to watch a film in French, and I didn't have any other classes, so I stayed at home. And I made Russian Tea Cookies.

I have a lot of book ideas, lately, but I don't have enough time, yet, to work on any of them.

Bookclub is tomorrow, at my house: The Secret ( Read more... )

The Andersons and my parents long-since departed for Purdy, and now I'm bored. It's the sort of bored that will be made worse, not cured, by homework, so... I'm watching one of the Eloise movies on TV. I think it's Eloise at the Plaza. It's the sequal with the The Little Prince subplot, right? Anyway, Who's Line is It, Anyway is on next....
