7/4: lots of ground

I stayed home all day, but I covered a lot of ground in my mind.  I thought about:  Pride and Prejudice and The Lizzie Bennett Diaries; open-source modifications for videogames in the light of adaptation theory; Saussure, Barthes, and Foucault; little sisters (as a sign and subject position) in Santa Calls and The Tunnel; Lois Ehlert's picturebooks (which I didn't know before taking my class); Gettysburg.
