Bit of Ivory

From Leaky: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Named Among EW’s Favorite Fictional Lovers I’m grinning like a loon. Also making the list are some of my favorites, like Lois/Clark, Aragorn/Arwen, Leia/Han, and of course, Lizzy/Darcy. (Oh, and remember how I was rejoicing in the sweater weather? Yeah.

It’s sweater weather. As in, I left my coat in the car when I went to lunch. And we haven’t had any snow for four days. It’s crazy, people! For the first time this winter (I think), we’re actually above average instead of waaay below it. It makes me want spring, even though I know […]

I woke up this morning to at least 6″ of snow. Driving to work was a nightmare, as none of the roads I usually take had been plowed. At all. Now, I’m pretty good at driving in the snow, but the Prius was sliding around at 12 miles an hour. It was kinda freaky. Got […]

We got a call from Allstate, which is the other lady’s insurance company. They’ve accepted full liability for the accident, and will be sending an adjuster soon. Because of the high number of accidents in the Utah that day, it may take a bit. Lizzy is currently in the tow company’s yard, waiting to be […]

I’m trying so hard not to cry. It’s not working very well. My parents were really nice to me this morning. You see, we had a big snowstorm through the night. My dad took today off, and my sister wasn’t working until this afternoon, so I was the only one that was going to have […]

So, a couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about genres and how the academy pretty much dismisses genre fiction out of hand. In it, I mentioned that I have Issues with Critical Theory, but that that was a whole nother post. Well. Here it is.

Note: Many thanks and respect to Robin McKinley, whose recent post and encouragement got me to finally type this out. I’ve been thinking. About the kind of reading I do, and what that means to my chosen profession.
