英語の勉強も兼ねて海外ニュース記事の翻訳をしていて、その翻訳を掲載するつもりだったのですが、法的なリスクがかなり大きいので止めました。ただ、ちょっと内容が面白すぎるので、どうにかしてまた別の形でまとめられないか思案中……

It's called Abstract Expressionism, PLEBE. And sometimes when your husband hoards giant weird stamps you have to use them before postage rises so much you have to put 3 on an envelope.

I'm just saying, from here until forevermore I'm going to have to assume that all fancy-ass stamps were picked out specially for me.

Also is that how expensive postage is these days, good lord.

They bumped it to 78 cents recently. It's still way cheaper than many other countries, but I never would have envisioned pen paling to be expensive.

You're costing me too much Emily, I don't think this is going to work out

But what will it cost you if you give up the correspondence? Happiness? Safety? You have no way of knowing whether or not I pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature.

Hmmm. You're right, I do not know that. So here's a question: do you pursue former penpals across the earth like Frankenstein's creature?

Friend, last night I watched the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice for the first time right after having re-read the book. This movie insulted my intelligence and I took it very personally. I will not dignify it with a post on my website trying to convince everyone what a piece of crap it is, but you may be someone who understands.

I... actually like it, for the most part. I remember you saying you thought it was one of Austen's weaker novels for its fairy-tale-ness, so I imagine it doesn't improve things if you have to trim out all the subtleties to fit it into a 2-hour runtime.

I will agree that the ending scene is really bad. It's so bad. I dread re-watching the movie because I don't want to be subjected to that scene again.

It's mostly that they took out the humor that was in the book and replaced it with their own bad humor. And cut out a lot of plot points to make room for random fancy shots of landscapes and statuary. And everybody was played so flat and subdued that it didn't make sense why any of the characters cared about each other.

BBC Pride and Prejudice is superior. "Oh, my poor nerves!" Is what Mrs Bennett says when she sees the Kiera Knightly Pride and Prejudice.

Though, some of the casting choices weren't too terrible

I recognize I do actually have to watch that version at some point.

I think they could have gotten away with 5 hours instead of 6, but the BBC is much truer to the spirit of the book. They actually let people be funny and ridiculous.

I was excited to see my local NWS offices have RSS feeds, but they've not had any content added to them. It's been a hassle getting updates from them since leaving Facebook D:

Hmm, I see my local office posted the winter weather outlook 18 days ago. Nothing for daily weather though. That would be nice to have.
