matrixrefugee: the word 'refugee' in electric green with a background of green matrix code (Jane Austen in Hollywood)
Eeesh, only eight posts in all of February. I feel like I've been neglecting you folks.

Busy day today: I had an appointment with the therapist, as well as some shopping to do at Wal-Mart. I need some new shirts for work. But let me say this:

I hate shopping for clothes.

I can never find things I like in the women's department. I don't know *WHAT* is up with the styles these days, but it seems women are dressing like hootchie-mommas, and that's about the last thing I'd go for. If I was ever going to show more skin than I do, it would be a classic noir-ish femme fatale manner, not like some cheap little tootsie. I couldn't even find any plain cotton tee-shirts that hadn't had the neckline or the sleeves messed with. So I just marched over to the men's department and picked up a few tee shirts and fleece-lined jerseys. I should be set for the season.

Also, made my semi-weekly trip to the Salem Barnes & Noble, where I picked up a collection containing Jane Austen's "Sanditon" and her three notebooks of things she'd jotted when she was a teenager. I've read her hysterical "Love and Freindship" (spelling hers!), which I'd had from the Lowell library, and I was eagerly looking for more of her early writings, which are utterly ridiculous in a good way. Someone needs to film "Love and Freindship", if only as a playful parody of the typical Jane Austen movies, since the book itself is a parody of the novels of manners of the type that she herself would later write. I think that's a testament to how witty our girl was, since she was able to poke fun at herself, as it were...

And yep, the icon is based off the funny-lovely photo from Entertainment Weekly's Most Influential People in Hollywood from a few years back.

Okay, I don't vote Democrat, but I've been rooting for Obama all through the primaries (Never liked Hillary, and the tactics she's been using to try and make her opponents look bad just makes her look a fangurl trying to make her half-arsed RP look better by slamming everyone else's storylines). So naturally, this wonderful animated GIF banner with quotes from the duel of wits in one of the early "Sandman" comics made me laugh out loud.
