"You must allow me to tell you..."

I often feel like a Jane Austen character,
lost between the layers of time.

"Pride and Prejudice" is my favorite of hers.

I do have to admit, when I saw

"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" in the bookstore...

I thought.. well, I thought,
 "Oh Jesus. What have they done to your novel Jane?"

Interestingly enough I have heard good reviews.

So, I decided not to judge this book by it's cover.
 Although I am not a Zombie fan,

I'll have to read it myself.
Of course, while sipping something hot from my new mug!

 (keeping fingers crossed!)
An awesome giveaway!

Goodbye Betty Suarez...

  Lastnight was the series finale of "Ugly Betty". I'm so sad to see these characters go. This show was fun and the characters were memorable. Crazy, ruthless, wacky, and loving. Betty took on MODE and the fashion world, where she didn't fit in and conquered it. Wilhelmina said "I never thought I'd say this, but you've got big balls, Betty Suarez." I love the way they wrapped up Daniel and Betty's storyline especially. They didn't throw them together romantically. That wouldn't have been realistic. But the "possibilty" of them as a couple IS there. And they will always have a great bond no matter what. They wouldn't be where they are without each other and they know it. How great would it be if Daniel ended up working as Betty's assistant? He went to London for her and wants a new start in life. He did say maybe he'd submit his resume. I will miss all the characters, most of all Betty. The kind of girl you want in your corner. Have fun in London Betty!

The blue hour.

The blue hour, a French expression- l'heure bleue, refers to that period of twilight each morning and evening where it is neither fully daylight nor completey dark. The quality of light is so unique at this time and when the smell of the flowers is strongest during the summer. This phrase also refers to Paris, prior to World War 1, which was considered to be "a time of innocence."
