I'm obsessed with epic costume dramas which is why I know what I'll be doing this Thanksgiving-- why, going to see the new Baz Luhrmann film, Australia, of course. Here is the trailer for the movie, set in the 1930s.

I stayed up late last Tuesday night and watched as the election map filled in with reds, yellows, and blues. So, I was still glued to my television set (actually, I had grown rather bored of the pundits and had popped in a movie on my laptop) when the official announcement of Obama's win came through. It was this, though, that opened my bleary, tired eyes, and for a moment filled me with hope. What am I talking about? The concession speech of John McCain which was filled with dignity and grace. It was like watching a totally different man than the one I had seen during the debates, and this time, I was proud of him. If you have a moment, I recommend watching it, as I do think it should go down in history as a great and memorable speech and, one that graciously ushers in the new President-elect, Barack Obama.
I happen to be one of those most exasperating of people: an indispensable woman. I love reading more than just about anything (and, indeed, usually think in terms of literary characters). I try to follow the golden rule, usually come off as a goody two-shoes (which I probably am), and have the feeling that I am often not understood. I dream of babies, and a husband, and puppies. Perhaps one day, God willing.
