How hard can it be?

Jane Eyre. It’s a common book. How hard can it be to get a copy of it. I saw the Masterpiece Theatre presentation on the book, and now I want to read it again. Unfortunately, the library has none of its four copies. My friend has offered her copy, but she’s in Texas for a wedding. I had a cheap copy…but somebody stole it…. Was it one of my innocent looking sisters? Perhaps.

Perhaps, I will just have to reconstruct the whole plot line backwards from hints I find in the Eyre Affair. I was also “lucky” enough to see Wuthering Heights on Masterpiece Theatre. That I own, but now I will probably never read. It is terribly depressing. I can understand why the characters of that book needed an intervention in one of the Thursday Next novels. For those of you who have missed Eyre Affair and the rest of the Thursday Next novels. Shame on you. Go immediately to your local library and read them. If you don’t like them, too bad. They’re awesome. They are by Jasper Fforde. If you don’t like Eyre Affair, at least sit down and read the Fourth Bear…it’s a little more friendly to the non-literati crowd.

Okay, I’m writing today more because I want to be online and less because I have any good to say, so I better wrap up. Have a good day, and wish me luck on my quest for Jane Eyre.

This blog was actually written on Sunday. It looks a little out of place. Jane Eyre has final been captured. Now, I just don’t have time to read it any more.

I would like to say that this innocent looking sister did not steal it. I stole many of your other books, but Jane Eyre was not one of them.

By the way, the fact that I’ve “accidentally” stolen books from the library won’t reflect badly on you in your search for a job, will it? Background checks don’t go that in-depth…right?

Hehehe

I should never turn on the tv while I’m getting ready in the morning. This is what I saw today.

Politics and Arbys

The writer of this blog (me) is a little schitzo sometimes. My mind is all over the place. Christmas was awesome. One of the highlights being the amount of centrifical force one can exprience on a old pick-up hood latched to a four-wheeler in a snowy field. You should hear the pitch of the screams as they come closer to you and then fling farther away.

There was also much good food at Christmas and plenty of sleep and nice long walks and I beat Joanna expert minesweeper score. (Joanna wanted me to write about Christmas. Particularly the cowboy sledding experience with the four wheeler. It was too fun for words.)

So Christmas is over, and school is begun. Well, next week. My work is begun, but today is my last play day. I just saw this amazing conference on bi-partisianship hosted by the president of OU, David Boren. We had people from all over the states. Most famously (at this time) is Mayor Bloomberg from NYC. He got the most press, but he did not announce his run for the office…so sorry all you national media people who probably won’t even mention this on the news tonight.

Now, I’m going to get Arby’s and head to the free admission day at the Oklahoma Historical Center. I was one of the first people to see the plans in 2000-2001, and now it’s done, and I’ve never been there. Shame on me.

Happy holidays. Epiphany and Orthodox Christmas is today….I think.
