Random
So, what to write about tonight? There’s really not much new in the knitting and spinning since yesterday’s post. I reached the bottom of the neckband just before I folded up my knitting tonight (all together: Ooooh!), but it looks pretty much the same as it did, so . . . not very exciting to show you.
So, how about just a couple of random things?
Like, this wonderful, inspiring video of Randy Pausch, a professor from Carnegie-Mellon who is dying of pancreatic cancer and recreated his “Last Lecture” for the audience at Oprah, after video of his real lecture for his students hit You Tube and went viral. It’s only 11 minutes long and it’s wise and touching and just very much worth the time to watch. (Really!)
Any Jane Austen fans out there? Check out this site, where you can play paperdolls with Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. (For that matter, this blog post has lots of nifty Jane Austen-related fashion links.) And, who knew? There’s a Flickr group for fun pictures with your Jane Austen Action Figure. I’d better get mine out of the box and take her out to play! There’s a handy list of the dance music from the movies, too. (Am I the only one who likes the tune of “Mr. Beveridge’s Maggot“?) For that matter, did you know there’s a poll to vote for your favorite Jane Austen Man?
Does anybody else watch Eli Stone on ABC? It’s a mid-season replacement and I’m just loving it. Poor, great show . . . it’s doomed.
And, really, that’s about it.
How about a nice picture of Chappy?

Ok, my week has been such that the thought of clicking on links is just too much right now. I’ll look at the cute picture of Chappy, though.
Chris’s last blog post..Peeking under my bed
I watched Eli Stone once (I think it’s the pilot) and yes, it’s quite good. But I didn’t get around to register its schedule in my mind so I think I missed all the rest. Why is it doomed?
Agnes’s last blog post..What is no fun?
Because I have a nasty tendency to love shows that get cancelled at the earliest opportunity . . . (grin). So, since I’m enjoying this SO much, I’m trying not to get too attached. (Too late!)
Thanks so much for that link to the Last Lecture. Very moving and it’s a video I will watch on a periodic basis to remind myself of how I should be living.

Did you know you can put Elizabeth’s clothing on Mr. Darcy?
