Jan. 8th, 2008 11:08 amRead "The Castle of Otranto" for class. omg drugs. Can we move on to "Jane Eyre" now, plz?
The senior capstone seminar is on Gothic Literature this year, which is fantastic, because it means that I get to write my symposium paper on my darling Jane. Joy. I'm going to take a stab at connecting Rochester's blindness to Jane's continual association with the Otherworldly - seeing and the Unseen, as it were. Should be fun.
I came away from the Christmas season with Buffy 3 and Angel 2 on DVD. Buffyverse goes well with Gothic novels. Xander/Willow will never not be wonderful and achy. Angelus still freaks me out. Giles wins at everything. It's weird to watch Angel and Cordy and Wes in Buffy 3, ignoring each other and, in the case of Wes and Cordy, trying unsuccessfully to make out. One of those "little did they know" things, you know?
Also? Between Obama's speech after the Iowa caucus and Edwards' slagging on Clinton for being a weak girl, I'm tipping toward the Obamarama. I've been pretty drawn between them, because I was raised a union girl and Edwards has always had that going strong for him. But taking advantage of the sexism being thrown at Clinton is well beyond my pale.
