Today I finished a nice book called Austenland. At the end I was grinning really silly and the last few page flipped to reveal Shannon grinning back at me. It was like she was saying "I'm glad you liked it." I laughed. Yes there were moments were it was "Wow, baby!" But it wasn't that bad. It really only happened once. Oh, and I found the robot reference. I laughed then, too. I laughed in a great many parts of the story. Which is a plus not a minus. It was interesting to see similarities in Jane and me. While I'm not exactly searching for the real Darcy, I saw other things. All and all I enjoyed it. And now to end, Tallyho! (I had to say that)
^I made this sign. :) A year from today, my public library closed down because of lack of funds. So we had a rally/funeral/memorial service for our library today. A group of people and kids march down our downtown area and up to the courthouse front steps. Reporters from the local news, radio and paper were there. The newspaper that was doing the story could send out a photographer, so I got to be the "photographer" I took pictures and I read a poem I wrote about the library closing. So I might appear on the local news, which is weird and cool at the same time. And here's the poem I wrote: Destruction of a Library World of Words, Their time is ending. On the shelves they sigh a bitter sigh. Why should people cry? Only words on paper Behind brick walls Why do I sigh, This humble cry? Why do the words mean so much to me? How can people not feel what I feel? About an old building that smells like old paste That binds together beautiful words In the arms of ancient paper Old...
I loved Austenland too! It was so perfect in every way!
