New blog re: Jane Austen

I have set up a syndicated feed to Jane Odiwe's blog at blogspot (janeodiwe), which will discuss all things Austen and the regency world. I learned about this blog through the blog Jane Austen's World (janitesonjames). Jane Odiwe's blog is worth following because of the lovely, delicate artwork she does of Jane and her family and all of Jane's characters. Her new book Lydia Bennet's Story, illustrated with her own artwork, is out now. (I have put in the link to the US Amazon site, but it is available in the UK, too.)

Isn't it spring yet?

I feel as if I am in that sort of sleepy, dazed, surly it's-almost-time-to-come-out-of-hibernation-but-not-quite state that often occurs in late winter/early spring. I want to shut out the world and do nothing but read, generally bad fanfiction. And eat: I am being tormented by food cravings of the most unsuitable nature: chocolate, scones, decadent coffee drinks, Ranch Doritos, popcorn drenched with butter and Parmesan, big bowls of comforting and high caloric soup. Cream of potato. Chicken and wild rice. Whatever, I just want to eat all the time, irrespective of my weight loss goals or actual calorie needs. This is highly irritating.

What I need is to go to the dojo and hit things, but I'll probably miss tonight's lesson due to school conferences.

Maybe I should go peruse some of kijjohnson's disgusting food of my people entries. That would probably short circuit my appetite.
