Does Millennium count? Or Fringe?

Tho not over yet, I’m hoping SPN manages to pull that off.

From Cordy and Conner f*cking to this. That’s one hell of a turnaround.

Angel. I had pretty much stopped watching the show. Then it ended very well.

Well, I guess it’s obvious but Buffy ended well after its latter seasons didn’t hit the highs of seasons 2-3.

They were both great books and great authors. They were only cut from the list because their husbands didn’t go on to marry new wives, so they were technically not “fist wives.” Perhaps I should do a list of wronged wives in Gothic fiction, but that would have hundreds of names on it.

For modern readers, though, Jane Eyre holds up as a very different kind of romantic novel. In many ways, of course Rochester's an outspoken jerk, but the way that he and bookish, prematurely jaded Jane are able to banter back and forth is interesting. She's presented many times as an Everywoman - not strikingly…

Nothing really to add just wanted to post this (I think) very Gothic looking (in a paperback way) cover to a copy of Ira Levin’s The Stepford Wives.

Don’t forget the racial component — the reasoning for Bertha’s madness and “unchaste” behavior is that she is part Creole and from the West Indies. I always found her more sympathetic than Jane and Rochester because of that and her mental illness. Poor Bertha!

I think I read every V.C. Andrews book every published when I was younger. This recap just might make me go dig all those books out of the attic...I think older me will still really enjoy them. Commencing V.C. Andrews rabbit hole in 3, 2, 1...

Meh, his side has its merits. Like, he’s an awful person in many ways, but he was manipulated into the whole marriage thing when he was basically a child (remember, we’re looking at this from a modern lens). Then, he is redeemed when Jane refuses to run off with him until he shapes up his act and pays (violently) for…

I love Jane Eyre as a romantic story. I’ve seen nearly every single adaptation, even the terrible one from the 1930s, where Jane is a pretty girl, Rochester is really nice, and they totally change the entire story so that the big reveal is that he had a wife, she went mad, he got divorce papers, and now he and Jane…

Yeah, I had to cut a lot of characters because the husband didn’t go on to marry again. If I could include any wife, this list would be 1/3 Wuthering Heights characters.

I said it the other day (yesterday?) and I’ll say it again: “brelfie” should be when you take a selfie at brunch. Eggs benedict > “blah blah blah I breastfeed aren’t I so granola and I need to let the world know”

I don’t want to offend anyone, but I find that picture of Kourtney K. with the breast pump really, really gross. It turns me off my food, frankly. Who puts their bare feet up on a table like that where people have to eat, FFS?!?!

Since we don’t do Sunday night sign-off anymore, this feel like the most appropriate place.

Fuck “Brelfie.” FUCK IT.

Maybe it’s not that they allow more space, but that they take longer to get pregnant? Or, possibly, that since they are older they are (possibly) more highly educated and know it’s better to space?

I’m pretty sure you aren’t supposed to tell people you’re in witness protection. That’s like going into a bar and telling people you’re a spy.
