Or, in Emma : don't set your sights on the romantic stranger; marry your sensible next-door neighbour.
Or, in Northanger Abbey : act like a swooning idiot and lose that nice sensible chap you enjoy hanging out with.
(Yeah, I could do this all day.)

Isn't the whole point of Sense and Sensibility that an over-reliance on romantic tosh means you'll wind up nearly dying of pneumonia and should have just married that nice middle-aged widower in the first place?

I like Antonioni.
I *love* Antonioni. All those big contemplative spaces and ambient noises. Yay.

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
I believe this is where we say 'fuck the haters', ladies (and Jack).

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Emma Hart,
And it's not like I was being obviously reckless and visiting Kiwiblog or Danyl's site.
Wise move. Danyl's post and associated comments thread nearly made me lose the will to live. (I only read it yesterday, so the horror is still fresh in my mind.) What with the 'you're not doing that there feminism *properly*, ladies!' post, and the inevitable libertarian derailment in the comments thread which ended up silencing basically anyone who might have some real insight into the matter, it was... something. A predictable sort of something, really.

I can almost see a 2am PAS chorus of “I wanna know what love is”.
Oh, I’ll sing the SHIT out of that song. It doesn’t mean it’s any good.

Why did they choose such a stupid name?
I was about to be all ' Magical Mystery Tour !', nerdily, but Jack beat me to it...
There is everything wrong with a bit of Foreigner.
I will say this: 'Hot Blooded' is really, really funny. Check it and see. (You see what I did there.)

Hard News: Friday Fever, in reply to Andre Alessi,
I've been listening to The Mutton Birds almost obsessively recently
Yesterday some live version of 'Dominion Road' came on randomly as I was driving home. As Don McGlashan (and I) sang 'he can see the antennas in the hills' I realised that I was actually looking at them. It was A Moment.
