What a l...I finished A Company of Swans last week. What a lovely, old school romance . . . and an enviable travel plot.<BR/><BR/>Emily of New Moon is so sad. I haven't read it before and found the clock ticking midnight before I could pull away. Having an eight year old daughter has made it, so far, a particularly painful read. Thank goodness for feline companionship.<BR/><BR/>Funny too, because Cheryl Klein was just blogging/bemoaning the abundance of manuscripts about boys with dogs. She wanted to see some girls with other animals . . . and there was Emily with her warm kitties (and of course, the breathtaking wind woman).Elise Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14205799699628024211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-57179149374859704692008-05-28T07:18:00.000-07:002008-05-28T07:18:00.000-07:00Oh, and it must be mentioned - the library scene i...Oh, and it must be mentioned - the library scene in Atonement?

I'm sure there are many cities with even more spires and whispering trees and splashing rivers, but as long as my view is filled with the Oslo ones, I'm all set. And we do have nice coffee - a must with our long, long winters.<BR/><BR/>Now the landscape on the west coast - that I haven't made up, I promise. It really is crazy beautiful. I could take you to my family farm, and up into the mountains! There are wild deer, and water falls and snow capped peaks.<BR/><BR/>And then we could go to the tiny, tiny island of Grip, which is just a little speck on the horizon seen from the mainland. My friend has a small summer house there that used to belong to a fisherman. The little houses all cling to the bare rock defiantly, just waiting for the next storm.<BR/><BR/>Come! Bring Jim! It would be great :)tone almhjellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213144552658031984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-87435116067205338122008-05-27T23:07:00.000-07:002008-05-27T23:07:00.000-07:00Oh my.

Your Not For Robots essays are wonderful and funny and true, your Ladies are fabulous, the bugs and claws...well, they freak me out a little, but I'll get over it. When I have another moment I'll be back to read and read and smile and probably comment more.

I also wish I could come see you in Norway -- your blog really makes me want to visit Norway. But I think now I will expect to find it filled with the strange and wonderful contents of your imagination. Is it?<BR/><BR/>Hi Heather! Ooh, you're making me anxious for season 4 now. Riley! and Hush. Can't wait to see that one again. And the episode with bizarro vampire Willow? What season was that? So exciting. By the way, if you keep watch over "The Complete Buffy" on Amazon, the price dips way low sometimes. It's almost $200 right now, but when we got it a few months ago it was down to $99 for all 7 seasons. A steal.<BR/><BR/>Hi Elise! I just got my Emily books today too (yay!), and yes -- I DID see that National Geographic. Those nudibranches are <I>amazing</I>.

Holy Sea Slugs! Chromodoris annae is exquisite, but there is something truly appealing about Chromodoris Geometrica.

I actually didn't start watching Buffy until the season finale of season five and was instantly hooked - bawling my eyes out when she died. Then of course with all the witchy stuff and whatnot, I was so there. Thanks to television, you don't wait long for reruns so I caught up after a spell. I only own season seven, but plan to get all of them eventually. Favourite episodes from season four? HUSH and PRIMEVAL. Wayyyy cool. Faves from 6 and 7? ALL OF THEM!<BR/><BR/>Oh and Veronica Mars rocks too. Same with Charmed, Alias and Dark Angel. Sigh. I need a life.<BR/><BR/>First available moment I have to get to the bookstore I'm buying all of the Emilys.<BR/><BR/>Loving your obsessions!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492950209121399762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-13443880945080679032008-05-27T10:12:00.000-07:002008-05-27T10:12:00.000-07:00If that second moth caterpillar pic is what I thin...If that second moth caterpillar pic is what I think it is, it's an asp...and they sting like the dickens when you touch them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-2163550250026645772008-05-26T22:22:00.000-07:002008-05-26T22:22:00.000-07:00Haha!

Wow, you've been busy! <BR/><BR/>I would join you in the Emily project, except I haven't read Montgomery's story and I'm trying hard to get to chapter 12 before going to Sonoma and Fiji. Honeymoon! Wine tasting, beach huts, tropical fish! Can't wait. You won't be in California in two weeks, by any chance? <BR/><BR/>At least I get to snoop around for a holiday Lady! They must have them somewhere in Sonoma. <BR/><BR/>But first, one and a half chapter in one and a half week. Well. Can it be done? Not sure. I'm slow. I'm Christmas Eve slow. <BR/><BR/>God speed on the road to revision, you! Do let those new ideas run wild!tone almhjellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213144552658031984noreply@blogger.com
