"Cold in the earth—and the deep snow piled above thee,
Far, far, removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?"

How Wuthering Heights was shaped by Emily Brontë’s gothic poetry

Emily Brontë’s poetry is full of haunting love, grief and death.

Today I randomly stumbled up on a full-on polo tournament in Christchurch. With spectators wearing fancy clothes! WHAT.

I got there right at a break, and stuck around to watch a bit of the game (it was easy to watch through the fence, even if you weren't wearing fancy clothes like apparently you have to do to watch from the sidelines). After the game started back up, they played for 5 min before 2 people fell off their horses and one of them got taken off the field in an ambulance. Yikes.

Two mothers could be stoned to death.

Sham trials. Coerced confessions. And a sentence of stoning! One million of us spoke up to help overturn a similar case – sign now to do it again.

*Watching a science fiction movie of dubious quality*

Me: They really understood the right way to use smoke machines in the 80s.

Christine: Pretty sure this is the 90s.

Me: The 90s was when the 80s were perfected.
