Just FYI, Joyce has completely infested my brain. (I mean, I knew this already. But now I have confirmation.) First I make a conscious decision to write something around a couple lines from "The Dead." Then in the fourth sentence, I write a metaphor that is lovely, and yet oddly familiar. Thinking...thinking...googling...ah, yes. It is in ( Read more... )

Aha! I was randomly searching YouTube for clips or vids from shows I used to watch, and came upon one of my very favorite scenes from The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne. Oh, I cannot even tell you how much I long to be Rebecca Fogg.
