Last night, I took a night off from the work (man, so much of the work) and watched the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice<\/em>. A few weeks ago, we watched Becoming Jane<\/em> which is about Jane Austen’s conjectured true love story*. It’s all been a bit Jane Austen lately.
\nWhich is good, actually. I enjoy the screen adaptations of her work much more than I enjoyed slogging through P&P itself as a 17-year old**, or Northanger Abbey<\/em> as a 16-year old. I was really expecting to enjoy them both, but I didn’t. Maybe with a decade-and-a-half of distance I’d find them more enjoyable? Perhaps. In any case, the movies make for good watching.
\nSalon has a great article about the whole Austen revival (which, it claims, is a resurgent ‘second wave’ after the initial wet-Colin-Firth revival of the mid-90s, although poor old Colin does appear to be the central figure in this revival as well). It’s a neat little piece which tries to draw connections between the frocks and true love fantasies of the current wave and the sometimes-acidic cynicism of Miss Austen herself. I would have you peruse it for yourself.<\/a>

\nWashington Post in doing journalism shock! A four-part investigative series exposing Dick Cheney’s hidden coup of the US government<\/a>. Absolutely incredible stuff. For a taster, check out these ten things you should know<\/a> from parts one and two.
\nThis is seriously big-deal stuff. Check it out.

\nThat was your friday linky.

\n* Watched at the Lighthouse. The camera got tangled just as the film was coming to an end. The cinema plied us with free wine and chocolate for fifteen minutes while they fixed it, then the lights darkened, and the film continued – to show a single reaction shot of Anne Hathaway. Then, credits. Heh.
\n** In my single-sex boys school, extending an invitation to walk with the words “shall we take a turn about the room” was all the rage. (Not really.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
