I have reflected upon it, and I don't think
I've ever read any Austen. I read some Bronte,
though. Does that count?

I just watched the Sense & Sensibility with
Thompson, Rickman, and Winslet, and liked
it well enough. But I *did* feel that Mar-
garet got short shrift in the whole story.
I think I liked her character the most, and
was disappointed that she didn't get to goto
London.

I also watched the Emma with Paltrow a month
or two ago, and didn't feel much one way or
the other about it, except that Emma was kind
of a self-centred idiot.


What's wrong with the job? Simply too tiring?
Too much outside? Are you too much a creature
of archives and stacks and computer screens
and dimly lit rooms, only venturing outside
for *fun*, as opposed to work?

As much as I loathe children, I kind of think
I'd like your outdoorsy job -- if my health were
way better than it's been since I was sixteen.
