thoughts spurred by new BBC Emma!

[lettered]

One day, I'd like to post about these things:

1) The lecture I heard once on how Emma is a maturation of Sense and Sensibility.
2) The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma versus the Kate Beckinsale one (*waves flag for latter*)
3) How girls in period costume with modern accoutrement make me feel funny (a la here:
)
4) Whether Romola Garai looks like Katee Sackhoff, a la the great Connor // Jackson Browne debate.
5) How I miss good old days at Republic of Pemberley.
6) Me and Jane Austen! In particular: Emma
7) My hopes for the new BBC Emma, inspired via this picspam!

hey honey! I am well.

I know I haven't posted in forever! It has to do with me having a lot of work, being busy irl, wanting to switch to dw but not wanting to figure out anything new, having fandom commitments I haven't met, an flist that's too big for me to handle without anyone on it I want to cut, and being in a new fandom that has eaten my soul without having coherent things to say about it yet (Star Trek owns me; it really does).

But it's funny, I was trying to check the uncheckable flist last week and ended up reading up on you quite a bit because I realized I hadn't talked to you in forever. Wishing you the best with family and shiny Ron/Draco ;o)

Thanks for the line; I'll be back . . . eventually . . .

It's very good to hear back from you! You sound super busy with irl things -- hope that's good at least in part. Gah, fandom committments not yet met -- I hear that, and raise you!

Oooooh, you must be loving the Star Trek fandom explosion, then! I'm totally behind on it, but eventually I'll likely dive in, as everything is being recced to the high heavens. I think it's eaten many, many people's brains, so it must be fun to see all that outpouring for something you're loving.

Uncheckable flist, oh noes! Can you filter it down a little while you're busy, or filter so that you can check on half or a third of the flist one day, the other half later? It sounds like kind of a pain to set filters up initially, but if you use them for reading afterward I'm guessing it would pay off. So maybe it could be a help to you if you want to keep your toes dipped into flist fandom waters. Or not -- some people just feel uncomfy and itchy at the very idea of filtering.

Thanks so much for the good wishes! I wish you all good stuff in return. :D and I'll look forward to seeing your entries whenever you're back more regularly.
