Okay. late for work, but don't care. Maybe I won't get picked up for speeding on the interstate at an ungodly hour.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
it felt like it wanted to be a Thomas Hardy novel at times
Ooooooookay, so much for ever wanting to see that one. How in blue bloody blazes do they get an Austen story to ever in any way put you in mind of Hardy? No. No, nevermind. I do NOT want to know.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Well, it's not a bad movie. I guess that I felt this way because the Hardy adaptations I've seen have all been full of lots of unpicturesque farming, and bare floorboards that you KNOW would give you splinters, and cow pats, and all that jazz. Obviously Austen didn't write about that kind of thing, but her Elizabeth does blythely turn up at the Bingleys' place with inches of mud on her frock from trudging through the countryside, so it's not a huge leap to concentrate on that side of things. The Bennets seemed to me a bit less well-to-do in this movie than they were in the TV adaptation - it's quite good, in that it makes the necessity of wedding a man of means considerably more obvious.
I didn't hate it. But it's not a patch on Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility, imho.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The new P&P in my Netflix queue.
I'm also having fun imagining Trudy in the Land of Hoosiers.
I have a confession to make. Although I was born and bred in Indiana, I've only went to the Indy 500 one time. It was hot and muggy that day and it felt like the Battan Death March with beer coolers.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Cash, that's one more time than I went, or watched it (even on tv).

Fay, I am marking that post for the next time I am in a particularly Austen mood.

Kristin, have fun canoeing! And good luck with giving notice and accepting the new position and all that.
MG, that is absolute CRAZINESS with the prescription. I’m so sorry. I’m glad they dispensed new meds and got them to you in a reasonable amount of time.
Get to have brunch with the 'rents today. We found this new place right down the street that does a buffet brunch, and we loves it, yes we do.

Kristin, have fun on the trip and congratulations on the new job!

Our wings are not tired.
Kristin! Very exciting on both counts. Scary yes, but a good plan.
Have fun at brunch vw. I think breakfast for my crew is going to be drive through. We are headed out to see my parents and sibs. But there is 140 miles to travel to get there.
Taking the boat so the boys can go fishing. I'm thinking floating in the pool with my sisters and mom is a better plan.

Sounds like fun, Laura! Have a good day!
