The facts:
1. 100+ faculty (and administrators) are invited to a retreat.
2. The retreat is out of town within driving distance (say about 90 min away)
3. A couple of people inquired about carpooling and gas costing sharing to the organizers of the event.
What do you think the organizers of the event chose to do?
If you guessed: "send an email to all attendees letting them know people want to carpool and urging people to reply to all to facilitate communication" you would be CORRECT.
Is this really the best strategy to coordinate carpool stuff?
Note: thank goodness for gmail and the "mute conversation" function. I would like to carpool, but I am so irritated that I don't even want to engage.
Fossil no longer carries replacement watchbands for the style of watch I have (not surprising since I've had this watch almost ten years).
This means I have an excuse to buy a Pebble, right?
Huh.
I quoted the scene where he proposes to her in the rowboat on the lake as one of my favorite romantic scenes ever, for a YA blog doing a Valentine's Day feature. Everyone was appalled! I was surprised, to say the least, but apparently there's a huge contingent out there that thinks Jo should have accepted Laurie. Which is so very wrong, in my opinion.
Well, I always *wanted* Laurie and Jo, but rereading it on my kindle I wasn't disappointed by Laurie/Amy anymore. I would agree it would help if Bhaer had more of a personality.
omg, never encourage reply to all. NEVER.
I think, at age twelve, it was very hard to imagine Amy not being a Bratty Sister Who Gets Everything anymore in a way it isn't when you're 39.
I have read Alcott obsessively. My favorites are
Little Women, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom
and
An Old-Fashioned Girl.
I thought Laurie was all wrong for Jo, but the Jo-Laurie shippers are legion.
I thought Laurie was all wrong for Jo
Yes!
I love when Amy sits on Laurie's lap and says his nose is a comfort to her.
And I thought Professor Bhaer was charming in that awkward, scholarly, foreign way. I think once Jo loved him, I loved him.

Little Women is my least favorite of those.
