!(i && alone && can) fix it

!(i && alone && can) fix it

Something to reduce work stress. I might paste it on top of my monitor. Because

  • It doesn’t have to be me that does it
  • It doesn’t have to be me all by myself that does it
  • Maybe I can’t even do it

Because sometimes I get to feeling like I have to do everything, at all times.

An Annotated Edition

I’m making this year something of a “re-read” year.

Thoughts: Why is he never once called Mr. Willoughby? In EMMA, it is considered a serious affront when Mrs. Elton refers to Mr. Knightley and merely “Knightley.”

Edward feels like such a minor role… the 1995 movie version had to pad the role out significantly to make the most of Hugh Grant.

Mrs. Jennings comes across as a real dear, though she’s presented as mere silly comic relief at first. The annotations really hammered this home.

Marianne and Elinor are all too real.

I picked up the 1995 DVD from the library for some reason. I know I’m never going to have time to watch it.
