I don't know how many of you can watch PBS, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that the Jane Austen special on Masterpiece Theatre will be starting this Sunday on PBS. Every Sunday night until April, PBS will feature movie adaptations of Jane Austen's six major novels, starting with Persuasion. Here's the link if you want more info: www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/austen/index.html  |

I don't know if any of you watched "Persuasion" last week, it wasn't the best adaptation I've seen... but anyways, "Northanger Abbey" is on tonight at 9:00 pm!

I'm sad because they are doing the one's I haven't read first. But I'm recording them (and having Ben record them because I probably won't read them all before I have to move and leave my dvr behind).

I don't think I really liked it. I was writing a paper at the same time so maybe I didn't pay enough attention though. It seemed to focus on weird things.
