Home Sweet Home
Aug. 5th, 2004 01:41 pmSince Sarah has gone to a friend's wedding I can't get much done at Decatur House, so she said I could stay home for the rest of the week. I did get some work done, though - I made a preliminary layout for the Edward Livingston exhibit on graph paper, but until I know the measurements of the things we're putting there I can't do much more. At least I have an idea of what will look good.
I didn't do much yesterday, except watch most of Pride and Prejudice with Mom. I watched the rest today. Darcy's younger sister Georgiana (or the actress who plays her) reminds me of my friend Martine, who really loves the Pride and Prejudice book (as do I), but hates the movie. I think Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennet) would make a good Emma if they filmed Ruse (which is never going to happen, but I can fantasize) if she dyed her hair blonde. Aside from being a brunette, she looks about right, and more importantly she can carry off that sort of character very well.
Dad's in Minnesota reporting on an experimental reactor. I drove him to the Metro and went to exercise on my way back. I also did a little grocery shopping, and got a card for my cousin Wyatt, who is going to be ten next Tuesday. I got him a classic Winnie the Pooh card. My mom wasn't sure if he'd like it, even though I said I wouldn't mind getting a Pooh card, but she didn't object enough not to send it.
Mom wants me to listen for the ice cream truck that sometimes comes by here so I can get the driver's card if possible. She wants an ice cream truck for Daniel's birthday party. She called the dispatcher but they said that nobody would be likely to do it, since it's a small event. I said she should call them again and say that hey, it's going to be a bunch of teenage boys who will probably buy two or three ice creams each. I should have said that I could buy a few myself...
Got a chapter of my fic done. It's coming along well, and I know where it's going from here. I plan to post it on the Crossgen message boards for comments and beta reading before I put it up on FF.net. I'll probably have more readers on the boards anyway.
I finished December 6 and am now reading Great Expectations. I am proud of my ecclectic tastes.
