Movie poster for Pride & Prejudice with Kiera Knightley at the top facing to the side smiling with Darcy out of focus behind her and the the bottom is her running through a field wit a huge tree during sunrise. The tagline says “sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can’t be without”.

Just watched:
Pride & Prejudice
I loved how the very first thing was Darcy calling Lizzie aka KEIRA KNIGHTLEY “plain” and then the rest of it is just him bumbling and backtracking.
It’s a romance *technically* I guess 😂

Just finished up season 3 of "The Guilded Age". I love a period drama. I still prefer the ones with rosier language, like "Downton Abbey" and "Bridgerton", but it's still well worth the watch!

I was in 7th grade and on our little hilltop suburbia outside Seattle very little changed. So when a strange girl showed up at school there was much hubbub. It WAS 7th grade so when I say she was a tiny slip of a thing, it should be taken with a grain of salt but she was very different than us -- a French Creole duskiness that reflected in her accent. I talked to her in the library. The library was a bit of a safe zone for young nerds, one of the places we didn't expect to run into jocks or soc's. Her name was Victoria Falgout and she asked me if I liked Stephen King. I was a damned little snob even then (maybe MORE then) and we promptly got into an argument over the literary merits of 800-page horror novels. I was smitten. I don't know how it "evolved", I just know that she was the first girl I'd ever "made out" with and kissing became an endless wonder that could go on for hours. Summer came and I was stoked because we would have more time for kissing but Fate had other ideas. Vicki arrived at my house looking somber. We walked down through the woods in some grim march. I couldn't figure out what was wrong but I was increasingly worried that there would not be kissing. We finally sat along the tree-line shaved on a hill overlooking what would be a sprawling shopping mall a year later. Bulldozers rumbled across the valley below. "My Mom is moving us back to Louisiana." Vicki was blunt. Flat. She went on. "It's not just that. I want to tell you that I'll write, that I'll call. And I can't do that. When I get to Louisiana I have to get a boyfriend or I'll be raped. I can't hold onto this." We were in SEVENTH GRADE. I'm not sure I'd ever heard anyone SAY the word "rape" out loud. I was devastated. Not only would there be no kissing but I had to ponder the picture of life that she was drawing. All of this was totally outside my experience.

I was devastated. Not only would there be no kissing but I had to ponder the picture of life that she was drawing. All of this was totally outside my experience.

And THAT was how I came to be driving a rented 1998 Cougar coupe into a Louisiana bayou side road headed for a place called Raceland on a brilliant blue Spring morning. Twenty years had passed but I suspected Vicki might not have gone far or at least I'd be able to find someone to tell me what path she'd taken. Oh, I'm not one of those guys who tries to hook up with old girlfriends thinking they'll still be the lithe little thing he once knew....no, I want to know how the story ended, what happened between here and there? Raceland is deep deep in the bayou, a solid drive out of Baton Rouge and I had been sleeping in the Cougar because I couldn't find decent camp sites. I felt a little rumpled and I needed coffee and breakfast. I wasn't going to find it in Raceland. I noted a trio of pickup trucks and a Michelob neon sign at a joint pushed against a wall of kudzu on the edge of a finger of water as I hit the outskirts of town. I realized, too, that it was Sunday and the town was closed up tighter than a gnats ass until everybody got out of church. It was very Twilight Zone. A small downtown that looked like 1953 with a neutron bomb twist. Not one person on the street. No signs of life. I finally drove back to the wide spot and pulled in next to the pickups. Was it really a bar? There was no sign, just a piece of neon in the window of the double-wide. May as well give it a shot? The door pushed open easily enough and I was trying to focus on being nonchalant as I stepped into the double-wide and promptly missed the first step down into the place. I would have fallen flat on my face except that there was so much cigarette smoke in the air that I was able to flail my arms and legs like Wiley Coyote and somehow get my feet back under me. The place was pitch black except for a light to my right that revealed a wall of bottles against the far wall. The bar was just big enough for four stools and three were occupied by the drivers of the pickups outside.

MOSTLY occupied. One of them had fallen off his stool he was laughing so hard and his buddies weren't far behind him. They were totally fucking trashed at 10:30 in the morning on a Sunday. I was FINE with that but the Deliverance banjo was twanging hard in my ears as I stepped to the bar and tried to fake a deep Southern accent. "Is this a drinkin' house or do y'all serve breakfast here?" There was movement behind the bar and what I had taken for a pile of cleaning rags grew a toothless mouth that wagged back and forth in some consonant-free spiel. I have no idea what she said but the laughter redoubled and I totally lost my nerve. Not too proud to admit it -- I fled, chased by howling laughter. I hope at least one of those guys pissed his pants. In 1998 you could still find phone books in public places and I eventually found one and looked up "Falgout" to try to accomplish my mission. In a two-inch thick book, there were probably 50 pages of them. Vicki, Vikki, Victoria, Vickie-Anne....I was totally stumped. And still hungry. Maybe the bayou isn't my place. Shit. As I passed through the far edge of Raceland, however, I slammed on the brakes and pulled in to a place that advertised "Crayfish/Alligator" and walked into the quiet little space to find two Vietnamese girls engaged in their own hot makeout session at the cash register. They looked flustered and I broke my fast with popcorn alligator and Vietnamese soup. Totally worked for me. I still wonder what became of Victoria Falgout, the girl with a penchant for supernatural chills from the Master Himself. I hope she dreamed her way out of Louisiana or at least away from her worst fears.

The first blush of infatuation, a road trip and an unsettling encounter in a double-wide in Louisiana. More in the alt-text. Is it really @zoecwest.bsky.social 's birthday? Happy Birthday! I swear we just did this...ohh, a year ago...

MARIE ANTOINETTE (1938)—along with some other favorite classic period pieces—is the film that most inspired me to create my own original #periodpiece several years ago, THE SOCIETY, where the characters . . . look like me!

"[Harper] I have always supported Negro suffrage. Frederick Douglas and I believe deeply in the urgency behind the 15th amendment. But of course, men are not the only ones with real claims to the vote. Women deserve a right to the ballot too. [Dorothy Scott] Well said. [Attendee] Bravo. [Mrs. Kirkland] As women, I think we should be about God's work-- educating our children. Leave the vote for the next generation. [Dorothy] I am the next generation and I think we should fight for it now. [Harper] Exactly. We have to keep pushing. [Mrs. Kirkland] But aren't we trying to do too much too soon? It's barely a minute since Emancipation. Let's fight to protect the rights of our husband's vote, hmm? (One lady shakes her head as she sips her tea) They will give us a voice in the government. [Harper] My husband's dead. Do I still have a say in the government? [Dorothy] Complacency will yield nothing. [Attendee] We need more voices like yours Miss Scott. (Scoffs softly) [Mrs. Kirkland] It's not going to happen all at once. It's best to pick our battles. [Harper] I respectfully disagree.We must act so that we have a voice. [Mrs. Kirkland] Ah, I don't know. In my day, a ladies' tea would consist of sharing recipes, talking about our children-- [Dorothy] I'm sorry. I thought William would have told you that this was a suffrage meeting. [Mrs. Kirkland] Sometimes my son leaves out the details. [Dorothy] Oh... [Mrs. Scott] Mrs. Harper, we are so grateful for your time. [Mrs. Kirkland] I'm curious to know how you manage it all. You have children, yes? [Harper] Well, now that they're grown and I don't have a husband to look after. There's more time to write and pursue this cause. [Mrs. Kirkland] I see."

Still working on Izzy’s head to body ratio. But the sounds of those shoes walking down an elaborate hallway is 10/10 for me

I’m open to suggestions of what his character would be like- I’m thinking akin to Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey(?)
