Sunday morning
Mar. 23rd, 2008 09:46 amHappy Easter to all who honor the day.

( HRH performs his sworn duty )
( dinner and packing and such )
It hit me yesterday that I'M ON VACATION, and will be so for the next week and a half. I may regret using up the extra couple of days that I've added to the beginning and end of this debauch, but my, it was nice to just sit around yesterday and write--even though the production doesn't show it--and not have to go anywhere or do anything. Today, I need to do things. Tomorrow promises to be a flurry of last-minute this n that. So, taking yesterday off was nice.

Segued from Kate Beckinsale's Emma to most of an episode of Dexter. Call it a study in contrasts. Like taking a turn so quickly that your brain is compressed against one side of your skull and you see stars and almost black out as the g forces drive the blood down to your feet. That sort of contrast.
Now I'm thinking how Jane Austen might write a serial killer. Could Jane write a serial killer? I think she probably could, given her eye for mood and relationship. It would all be very surface-genteel. There would be no blood. It would all be worked out in drawings rooms, and during walks to Merriton.
Anyway, I liked Emma. Felt the story a little compressed--I confess I wasn't familiar with it to this point, but it seemed another instance of ten pounds of story in a five pound bag. Still, liked it muchly. Do all of Austen's heroines have ineffectual/absent fathers? The ones I've seen so far are either deceased or in the library, reading while Rome burns.
Dexter...was very interesting. I fear being hooked. Figuratively, that is.
