Allerleirauh, notes

  • It is noted that of course no one else in the land has golden hair.
  • Both kings are brutish to the Princess.
  • Evidently her betrothed does not know her very well, has only seen her a couple of times if he's not sure it's her.
  • Her way of putting little objects in his soup is strange.
  • She notes at every meeting that he throws his boots at her head. It seems she's determined to draw his complete attention and show him her power.
  • All the same, she is obviously seeking his protections only. She's aware of his ill-treatment of her as a servant.
  • His "love" for her is forceful and brutish.

Studying with Dolls

In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.

Two older entries I edited tonight re-posted today's date. However, the original month/year is still visible in the permalink.

However, re-reading these entries makes me feel the past is accessible in the sense that I am still holding on to many of the same dreams and desires. This week, for comps, I read two early gothics, James Hogg's The Private Memoir and Confessions of a Justified Sinner , and Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly; or, a Sleep-Walker , which were very much along the lines of the books that absorbed me from 2005-2007, most of which I read on my Treo from Project Gutenberg. Looking back upon my interests and desires of that time sustains me now, when I have to tap into my reserves every day to keep reading.
