"Through The Looking Glass

by Lewis Carroll

Did Not Finish:

"Girls and Literacy In America:
Historical Perspectives to the Present Moment"  

Jane Greer, editor

book has some glaring inaccuracies:

Ellen's mother, in the Wide, Wide World,

is depicted as steering Ellen away from a

"tempting confusing" of children's books
in favor of a Bible.  Ellen KNEW that they
were going to purchase a Bible.

Elsie Dinsmore is referred to as a conduct
novel; it is a RELIGIOUS novel.

Faith Gartney is referred to as the AUTHOR

of a book called  Girlhood.  The actual title

is Faith Gartney's Girlhood, and the author 

is A. D. T. Whitney.

The magazine Calling All Girls is described as

not having been destined for long-term success.

Excuse me???? It was published for YEARS, and

was EXTREMELY successful.  I had a subscription

when I was a teenager.

Dinner and a Movie

I usually eat in the living room... I don't have a dining room... but once a week, on Saturday night,  I watch a movie (DVR'ed)

and eat Chinese food in the computer room.  The menu isn't exactly the same from week to week, but it always includes a pork egg roll, which I cut or break open before eating, because of my allergy to shrimp.

I eat slowly,  very slowly, so that the food lasts through the movie.

Sometimes I'll watch a movie I'm familiar with, and sometimes I'll pick a new one... new to me, I mean.  For example, last week's movie was Singin' In The Rain, which somehow I'd never seen before. 

Also, I call my evening meal SUPPER on every other night of the week, but on Saturday night, it is DINNER.  Somehow, SUPPER and a movie doesn't sound quite right.
