My neighbors were very excited to see activity around it, even after I told them I had not actually gotten it running yet

Big Dog shirt that says "If you don't like Fanny Price you can go to hell!" Mansfield Bark obviously

Would truly like to thank Rock Solid Karaoke for their service www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZU8...

Every so often I think "wow, it's surprising how little influence JD Salinger's writing has compared to when I was 16," but now I have to make an exception for the baby bag industry

Finally, and tangentially, another miracle of modern karaoke availability

(Important Racine boilerplate: If you haven't heard this song before you have to listen to this one, not the new one www.youtube.com/watch?v=czU4...)

Holy cow this stuff is tremendous, was only familiar with the Wrinkle in Time ones

Yeah I don't mind it compared to some of their other tacked-on singles but The Sound of Drums is the highlight for me on that EP

S&S: 1995 is a very good movie but aging Elinor up really changes the story
P&P: 1995 ✓
Mansfield: 1983 is the only adaptation that doesn't hate Fanny Price
Emma: 2009 ✓
Northanger: Haven't watched the 2007 yet. 1987 looks great but is nuts
Persuasion: 1995 ✓

Something in the water in 1995

A lot of this bait has been passed around long enough that we should now be getting second-order posts like "I asked my students what the save icon was and they guessed that it was a picture of the picture people used to post about not knowing what it was"

Yeah, the youngest sisters are great too, and while I'm at it I love Bingley. It's really amazing how they nailed the casting

Yeah Mrs Bennet was really doing it for me this time around, her line readings are out of control

I understand and accept that people will keep adapting books forever but the 95 P&P is perfect and anyone who has what it takes to do a great Austen adaptation should try to lock in the canonical Mansfield Park instead. (1983 one is fine but looks like an 80s BBC miniseries)

This is why I'm reading about the turbine car... unbelievably jealous. The one thing I regret about EVs is the end of the Weird Gas Engine Idea—CNG, rotary, turbine, etc
