“I am so very much taken by the conclusion to the seventh chapter from Jane’s Persuasion, when, with so many pages turned in anticipation of their meeting, Anne Elliot caught, finally, “half an eye” belonging to the Captain Wentworth: just one half-glance in a crowded room stiffed by niceties and Good Society.” …

Writing boredly from the disconnect, I dug-up, re-read, and here review one of my favorite (if problematic) graphic novels: Gareth Hinds’ Beowulf.
Midnight Blahggery in Georgia
Posted in Jane Austen, Neil Gaiman, tagged Blahggery, Clarissa, Sanditon on April 10, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I am en route through Georgia and punched toward a destination in the plainslands that is disconnected. While this preludes abundantly more journal musings and stray never-concluded poetry, it means there may be a hiccough here in my blogging routine both here and in my Jack’s Alley livejournal. At the moment I am shacked up in [...]
A Better Sense for Sens … Wait, Hold On –
Posted in Jane Austen, tagged Movies, Northanger Abbey, Sense & Sensibility on April 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
My thoughts on the second part of Davies’ Sense & Sensibility, aired finally tonight nine-ish, can pretty readily be summarized with Ooooops! Having packed, moved, stored, and cleaned all day, fueled by a sliver of cookie dough and a bowl of cereal, I–even though I was so very much looking forward to the conclusion [...]
Handwritten Stuff

I, reader, seriously dig mail – but not too much that gunk I pick through in the mornings (hotmail porn and Facebook messages). Rather, I am every day sorely disappointed when there is no personalized letter or postcard-from-godknowswhere. I’ll shrug the bills and magazines for a thirty-five-cent stamped Hello.
Albeit slower than sin and [...]
A Better Sense for Sensibility
Posted in Jane Austen, tagged Movies, Sense & Sensibility, Sex on April 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
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 fine new ink posted to [...]
Byron[ic] [&] Mr. W. in S&S08

Hrm. I copied the following from my Livejournal, and it appears a bit off; I’ll happily accept that cost if it’s that easy to copy a little something-something. Maybe I’ll figure out how to import next.
Laurel Ann blogged this morning about Sense & Sensibility’s Mr. Willoughby’s Byronishness. During part one of S&S08 I made the [...]
