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?

"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.

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

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.
