Somehow, I slept nearly 12 hours overnight.  I don't have a clue why, but I was tired when I went to bed.

I woke up once at 3 for a necessity call, and then just climbed back into bed and opened my eyes at 11:09.

No street noises, no phone ringing, no phantom doorbells and pleasant dreams.

I feel quite relaxed if somewhat listless.

I'm up, I'm up - maybe five hours of sleep, maybe four.

This place is like a ghost town right now.  Not even a mystery guest!

DR Elmore;  I watched the Beckinsale "Emma" on YouTube last night.  It was interesting and somewhat different in its ending than the other versions.  She was a very creditable Emma, but I hated the hats she wore throughout.

I cannot get enough of "Sur Les Quais de Ramsdale, Vermont" from Lolita, My Love! Poor Dorothy Loudon could not get a break until Miss Hannigan.

I'm very fond of that version. The screenwriter - who wrote the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice - wanted to point out the difference between the idle rich and the workers, and I love the edning at a harvest feast. I think the Eltons are particularly odious, and I love love love Prunella Scales and Bernard Hepton.

Yes, I want Mrs. Elton to get a full dose of reproach for her fake superiority from someone.  Happily, she has Mr. Elton as her prize.  I, too, enjoyed the harvest feast and thought it rather appropriate. 

Isn't it funny how Bath always seems to be a subject of revulsion for Austen characters?

Lunch/brunch shopping vibes for DR JANE & Co.

Thanks, but no lunch/brunch just shopping.  Oh well.

Wow, 12 hours.  Congratulations!

Good afternoon, friends.

[singdaw]

The morning got away from me. But I got a lot done.

[singdaw]

Have any of you seen these new self-installing dog doors?

[singdaw]

Fairly decent day here, weather-wise.

[singdaw]

Corn? Jerry likes my corn.

[singdaw]

And that is not a euphemism.

Up from a nap.

[John G.]

Been a busy day so far.

[John G.]

The car headlight wasn’t out. The mechanic got it yo work again without replacing it and didn’t charge me anything. Very nice of what was a busy morning for him.

[John G.]

Did a load of laundry and took two white shirts off to be cleaned.

[John G.]

Heating a little leftovers from yesterday.

[John G.]

Trying to watch Pasolini. It’s short, but it’s also depressing. It’s set during the director’s final hours.

[John G.]

Also got further into People from Bloomington. If the author were inspired by Jane Austen, it’s by way of Shirley Jackson. The story Orez was truly disturbed and disturbing.

It's because Miss Jane herself hated Bath. I am rer-watching the Beckinsale version today. I turned it off after the ball where Mr Elton snubs Harriet Smith too feed the cats. I think tomorrow I'll watch the Romola Garai version. I love the fact this Beckinsale version makes Emma  such a snob so herepiphany after the picnic at Boxing Hill(?) is as moving as it is in the novel. The person I'm really enjoying today is Mr Knightley's married brother John with his grumbling attitude.

[John G.]

Are you gonna watch Clueless, too?

[bk]

Back from the reading. Hard to know WHAT to think of it, really. Supposed to be a thriller, but...

[John G.]

Listening to the soundtrack from the fourth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The original tunes are great. The songs from the new musical in the show, They Came, They Danced, do not sound period. The orchestrations are horribly nondescript. A fifties musical had a specific sound. These sound as period perfect as the songs in The Greatest Showman.
