This Week: Really Buzzed

I can't believe it's nearly August.

So... Evil. The show used to totally creep me out, but these days I'm laughing a lot as a defense mechanism. Anyone else having the same reaction? Slowly working my way through the second season of Big Sky, and disappointed in the villain situation. But I'm hanging in, waiting for Jensen Ackles.

Persuasion

Persuasion is Jane Austen’s fifth novel. Published after her death, it is not as well known as some of her earlier works. It deserves to be. It is more mature and, I would argue, better written than anything else she wrote (OK, except Pride and Prejudice which cannot be improved on in any way).
