Okay, I'm looking through an internal staff directory for one of our gov't depts. There's an Opus Penguin listed as an employee. That can't be real!
Maybe it's their fake entry to prevent copyright infringement.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have a test identity for our student learning system called Hello Kitty. Other test identities include Lara Croft and Arthur Dent. I hope they doesn't make it onto any directories.

One of my coworker's called the number and some guy named Adrian answered.

At Bell Labs, there was one G. R. Emlin who had an office (actually a common area), a mail drop, and who did made it into the company directory. I'm not sure if he had any papers published, though.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I think that there is no way to make Edward more attractive than Col. Brandon. The Col. Brandon character is just more attractive.
I really don't like either of the matrimonial choices from S&S. Edward is so passive, and Col. Brandon apparently falls in love with Marianne, who's almost young enough to be his daughter, because she's so much like his childhood sweetheart. Ick. If I were to marry an Austen man, Capt. Wentworth would be my first choice, then Henry Tilney, then Mr. Darcy. The S&S men would be just behind Mr. Knightley, but preferable to Edmund Bertram.
And I always loathed the sensibility side of Sense and Sensibility, because it seemed like the whole mess could have been avoided if only Young Miss Dashwood had read any other Jane Austen novel evar.
Well, S&S was the first one Austen wrote....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well, S&S was the first one Austen wrote....
P&P was the first one she wrote according to Flirting with Pride & Prejudice. It was just one of the later to be published.

Captain Wentworth is pretty awesome, and breaks the trend of "bad guys whose names start with W."

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Maybe that's why her family was so against him! "You must not marry him, or any other man whose name starts with "W". It always turns out badly. Trust us, we've seen it before."

I had a dream last night that was like watching a movie unfold: Sean Maher in police custody trying to explain to Samuel Jackson why he'd left his girlfriend stranded in South Carolina and driven cross-country to Vegas in a stolen car with a trunk full of drugs.
