Jane Austen

I'm still reading Becoming Jane Austen, and my Mom and Dad bought me Becoming Jane for Valentine's day! I watched it last night, as the second time I've seen it but the first since having started reading the book, and even though they had to use thier imagination with much of it, I believe they kept to some strong truths, they also kept in line with the feel of Jane's novels, which is, I do think, a very good way to fill in the blanks in her history that we do not know about. Also they dramitized parts that were more feeling and thought into action which is often the only way to convay such things in movies.

It has definatially made me want to reread Pride and Prejudice. But I am going to make my self wait until I finsh Jane's book. Also I have refreshed my desire to read Tom Jones. I tried reading it before but could not contenue for that manner in which it was written, but I do think that the library has it on CD and that will work very nicely indeed!

Zara's Bath

Poor dear, she really does not like having to bathe. But when she's all done, she zooms around the house and twrills in circles! She may be a bit crazy but we love her.

I thought it was a Bird feeder!

This was wonderful to watch, this deer emptied the bird feeder in less then two hours! Oh, the joys of living in the mountains!

Becoming Jane Austen

I am reading a very nice biography on Jane Austen. I was most picky in choosing this book as I love Jane very much and I want the truth, not what someone else thought she was. And nicely enough the Acknowledgements pages tell a great deal. The first parargraph sights organizations, such as the British Library, the Society of Genealogies, and the Jane Austen Memorial Trust. The following two paragraphs thanks Austen's and Lafroy's family members and other such reliable sources.

I am close to half way through and enjoying it very much. the aurther is very good about letting you the reader know what is fact, and where it came from, and what is her interpertaion! I haven't finished but as of so far I would recommend this book to any to who loves Jane.

Happy reading!

University

Been working on the application to attend University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. One of my transcripts was lost in the mail and thing are delayed. Some times...

Inspite of that I am excited to be moving to Springs and attending the University. I don't know where I will be living yet, but I am hoping to find a very small studio, located somewhere between the univeristy and church. To have a place on my own... =) I love my parents and no one could ask for more thoughtful and "none intrusive" parents, but I truely need a space of my own. I've been very blessed, my friends Anne and Dave have moved, and they offer me some things for my new place! Not only will it less things I have to find and buy but it also nice to have things that once belonged to those you care for.

This is not a picture of the University I will be attending, but it is a picture of what I dream of. This is how a University should look. The brother of the university I am going to looks some what like this , but I have no desire to live in Boulder.
