let's just not..

Dear bod,
I remember writing you a thank you letter about your performance at thesis crunch time, but I feel I should belabor the point --- I really appreciate your cooperation and feel I should also throw in a big thank you for lack of any wintertime crud illnesses over the winter.

That said, can we keep this up? I like that the lower back pain disappeared after a couple of days. I've been feeding you well, so really, let's keep fighting stuff off.

That said, if you are getting sick, hurry up and do it! Cause I'm tired of vaguely achiness, vaguely sore throat, and lots of not much energy. Sick or not, decide. Before friday please.

much love,
me

Watched the new disc of season 2 disc 2 that arrived yesterday. The season really did pick up after the first two episodes of it, that or I finally readjusted to hearing shakespearean iambic pentameter delivered with a slight drawl. All Seth love has disappeared since last season -- he wants to be wild bill, but dude, has no idea of how to go about it. And seriously, what's up with the "mr and mrs bullock thing" -- you married each other, use the first names. And squick on using them only after you apparently finally did the dirty deed. Gaaah.

Despite everyone else's Jane love, I loathe her character. She provides no comic relief to me and it's painful to watch, possibly because it hits too close to home in many many ways. That said, I heart Mrs. Garrett and am actually rooting for her and Elsworth. :) They at least respect each other and seem to manage to be nice to one another. A marriage there wouldn't be as frigid as the Bullock one. Charlie Udder has been great this season. I can't decide whether I like Trixie or not -- impossible to figure out which side she's playing. If her whole deal w/ Starr is just to spy, then I'm disinclined to her, but it's really ambiguous to me now. Tolliver needs to be fed to the pigs.

I seem to have acquired new friends (beyond my own random friendings). Drop a comment or such if you are inclined.

I loathe Mrs. Garrett. She is selfish, hateful, spiteful, and generally the type of person I tried to avoid in my life. If Ellsworth was my friend, I'd advise him against the widow. I like the Bullocks.

You and I are just that different, huh?

I agree that Mrs. Garrett started out poorly, but at the same time I sympathize for her because she is what she is due to the attitudes against women at the time. And she's grown alot since last season, though I never liked her thing w/ Bullock.

In the interest of avoiding confusion, let's call her Alma and leave her last name out of it. I think she grew after the first season, but I think she also became more cold and calculating. A victim of time and circumstance, sure, but that doesn't make me like her. I think she allowed her head to get gassed and I think she avoids taking responsibility for her actions. Unlike most of the other characters on the show, she seems to not accept who she is. Everyone else, from Al to Jane to Seth to Trixie to Sol, makes no bones about who they are. I cannot say that about Alma.
