I am wearing a maroon velvet jacket

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?

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.

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.
