Romance in the age of technology

It is indeed possible.

I am enjoying my peach latte while browsing Victoria magazine's web site. I feel so spoiled having this magazine back into publication. When I renewed my subscription today I also bought a subscription to Tea Time magazine.

In addition I am downloading beautiful antique plates to print and have just purchased Enchanted April to re-read on my EReader. I have been thinking of it and missing it lately. Perhaps it will take me back to those summer days before life became so complicated, when I was fifteen and looking out over Elkins Lake as I read this book by the pool.

Her arm and leg joints move but are slightly stiff with age.     Bonnie and her ensemble are in flawless vintage condition as far as I can tell. She comes with gown, hoopskirt and matching veil, bouquet and gloves, panties and plastic high-heel sandals.

Korean Gothic Imaginary

Korean literature, and Hallyu 1.0, topics so important to me, will be legitimated as part of my scholarly identity. I feel like today is a kind of spiritual wedding day for my scholarly career (although the dissertation defense will more literally be that). My goal is to become a professor of Korean literature and that dream, as of today, is much closer. Almost fatefully, I happened to see this Soom Super Gem Girl sculpt that the vendor posted on Den of Angels. I was not in any danger of forgetting the elements of Korean imaginaries that make my blood run cold and my heart drop into the pit of my stomach.
