A New Bloggering Hole
At just passed midnight, I'm not much in a bloggering mood. I spent the day packing-up the slag, I cleaned my car thoroughly, and--a major oops on my part--I fell asleep through the conclusion to the Davies' adaptation of Sense & Sensibility.
But I want to point you all to a Wordpress blog I began called Daybookery, which is going to be the seat ( Read more... ) -
Moving Day / Bar Night & a Real Memorable Goodbye
Yesterday . was . hectic. I write, now, just a little exhausted still. It began nine-ish that morning when I drove to Lansing to pick Neil up from a Wendy's parking lot, skirt Charlotte-ward to find Chris, and return to the Portage Street UHaul in Kalamazoo. We picked up our ten-footer and scurried to San Gabriel, loaded the truck, huffed to Gladys ( Read more... ) -
Lord Byron & the Byronic Hero in Sense & Sensibility
Laurel Ann blogged this morning about Sense & Sensibility's Mr. Willoughby as a Byronic hero. During part one of S&S08 I made the remark to Molly that it is peculiar and appropriate for Mr. W. to ask Marianne whether she was familiar with Lord Byron - she knew the name, by the way, but hadn't read any works.

As soon as I can figure out what to do with the furniture, I shouldn't have too much left -- I oughta be square by the end of the week, with maybe the weekend for repairs, then I'm gone. I'm needing to disappear. But until then, I'm caught here in the inbetween (and it's raining) where, technically, I've no legal authority ( Read more... ) -

A Better Sense for Sensibility; My Week in Summary
My nightly livejournal skim took me, just now, thirty-three minutes. I note this because I'm somewhat surprised (and amused) with the abundance of just sheer stuff - specifically: gardening, language, and tattoo things. This includes, of course, eye-dissecting my friend Justin's interview with the band Curtains--spellcheck buddy--and gawking at the ( Read more... ) -
-- With Some Explanation Later
I will follow this up sometime later today, the 24th (L-----'s birthday), and one which will turn out to be event-stockfull from car-stuff to military-stuff to academic-stuff - probably social-stuff. A startlingly pertinent horoscope (granted, I give it its meaning ( Read more... ) -
Writermarket and LibriVox Audiobooks; Glowbowling
So with tomorrow there's the calling Albion school-district as a prospective substitute and the selective editing of writing samples for Tuesday's job-fair at the Radison (the Gazette will be there) - that morning, I've the second interview with the insurance agency. Yesterday, I contacted a local author who was searching for a ghostwriter, and we ( Read more... ) -
Fun with Jane; Phallic Symbols in Harry Potter
Molly obliged me with a copy of Emma Webster's Lost in Austen: Create Your Own Jane Austen Adventure, which I think I will summarize my adventures blogically - eventually.
