That, is the best subject line I could come up with.
Good Christ, it's nearly 11pm...oh shit, I was supposed to call Staci.
Fresh from discussion on Jane Eyre (gets me all fired up(in the pants)). I'm so protective/defensive about that damn novel. My little, Victorian-Romantic-Gothic-Romance-novel-reading baby.
I had a rough draft for a paper due today at 7pm. In true me-fashion, I started it at 4:30pm. Hehehe. I'm trying to illustrate why Gustave Doré's illustrations for Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" do not mesh with the text. Are you impressed? I'm certainly not, because I ran out of steam at about page 3. Good thing she was a rough draft.
Speaking of rough drafts...I gotta go.

WTF?

Go check out this post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/scarybaldguy/148491.html).

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" has been a recent funny in the cicle of LJ friends lately, and now you've jumped aboard with it.

"Circle" not "cicle".

Sheesh. :/

HA! I'm "in"!
I didn't get to hear it though...on someone else's computer and don't want to fuck with the settings. ;)

Well, I hope you don't like Frankenstein...

Funny, I'm about to attend a discussion of Jane Eyre.
I love it, but the beginning more than the part with Rochester.

It's all good. How did the discussion go?

[patina.livejournal.com]

There was a lot of discussion of the power struggle between Jane and Mr. Rochester. Otherwise, the class was pretty quiet and expected the professor and the one knowledgeable student to do all the talking.

Did you guys get into the question of "Was Bertha Really Mad?" Because, honestly, that was a new one for me. I just took it as truth.

[patina.livejournal.com]

Actually, we didn't cover Bertha that time. I always took it as truth too, although being locked up in an attic is enough to make anyone madder than they already were.

You should read "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde. It has a lot of literary "in-jokes" plus stuff on "Jane Eyre" (obviously, based on the title). It made me go back and read the end of JE again. ha

I'm going to change my name.

And I will write Jane Ire.
