Fulvia:
I climb aboard the train carrying the papers,a picnic
hamper that's filled with baked goods and coffee
and tea in large thermos~I put out the papers,
arrange the baked goods and leave a note for the
others when they get there.

rclaurel:
Thanks. Synchronicity strikes again, doesn't it? Like latbfan noted, we were just talking about Lorena this morning as she is going to be the next character whose story we are going to tackle in the round robin. At any rate, I have been "trying to get inside" Lorena's head in order to write about her and they two sources to draw on are Ms. Klavano's portrayl and the blue-ray DVD back story for Lorena. What a treat to get her version of this character.
Lorena is a tragic character just as Klavano notes. Her back story essentially has her turned into a vampire as a novice nun, right before taking orders. She is a sweet girl who loves God and nature. When she is abducted and turned into a vampire, something she sees as apart from God, she had to have the sense that the God she loved so much completely abandoned her. She goes from living close to God, and her existence is heavenly to her, to plunging straight to the depths of hell. She had to have embraced hell, to spite the God who abandoned her, in order to survive. As Klavano notes, she is so very broken.
Hajni: you are right: this is a character who has a capacity for greatness. Whoever gave her this back story has to know that. I still hold out hope that you will somehow find some time to write for the round robin when Lorena is the topic. Don't tell me "no" just now, just allow me to hope.

This is my first (and probably only) chance to hop aboard today and finally... at long last! a quality interview with the magnificent Klaveno. From what I've read, I have to say that we nailed Lorena perfectly from Day One. We have discussed her at great length aboard the VE (as she is a favourite amongst many of us here, myself included), and we've been absolutely bang-on regarding everything about her. I also wonder if Ms. Klaveno occasionally visits/has visited the Railcar? I've wondered this for quite some time, actually. So much that we've discussed here regarding her was eerily touched upon in this interview. She is also very well spoken (many actors are not). Lorena and Godric were my most eagerly anticipated characters of Season Two, and they remain thus for me for Season Three. More Klaveno and Hyde. Both characters are an embarrassment of riches and pitch-perfectly played. The character of Lorena, if written well, has a unique capacity for greatness... the rare empathic villain who can really get the audience to questioning what they know (or think they do) about the nature of good and evil and the Jungian 'shadow'. She is, above all others, the very embodiment of Paradox.

rclaurel, thank you for posting the link! I was just PMing fulvia about Lorena, and I popped on board the VE, and there it was. What happy synchronicity!
Not that I'm complaining about other interviews, but it's nice when it gets switched up a bit and we hear, not only from other people involved, but also have new people asking the questions.
Wonderful!

Good afternoon, Like-Mindeds --
Fulvia is not alone. It is another day of insanity for me as well, and so I must exercise brevity... something I'm not generally known for.
Piperpals, mein guter Kamerad! It is wonderful to 'see' you again, old friend. I also wish that you could ride shotgun with me down to Charlottesville (although I've still not decided definitely if I am going or no). For those who intend to be there, but are either in lurk/read-only mode (or simply haven't spoken up for whatever reason); if you do happen to see me, feel free to cordially say hello and introduce yourselves. I've already described myself to the Railcar several times; but new passengers embark and disembark all of the time, so I should probably do so again. Quick Checklist: I stand just under 5'5"; am Caucasian with a lightly freckled complexion; of fairly lithe, slender build; have very short, punkish/tousled platinum blond hair and hazel eyes. I'm afraid I've no idea what I'll be wearing (as I've not looked at the advanced weather forecast for the area); however, chances are good that I'll have on my usual jeans and cowboy boots (unless its raining... don't wanna ruin the Tony Lamas!). If it's chilly, I may have on my Arsenal scarf. It's just too early to say at this point... but the hair is usually enough for most people.
Must dash. As you were, people. Keep calm and carry on.
Hajnalka

Good morning! *waves hi to everyone*
I just found a new recipe for a spice cake made with eggnog. I'll have to try it out and bring it onto the railcar...
Not that it's really a big surprise given the company, but I adore the Scarlet Pimpernel. I was way too young when I saw it the first time, and thus was plagued with beheading nightmares for ages (I had an overactive imagination). But I loved it all the same. Most people just look at you funny when you say the title... And while Emma is not my favorite Austen character, who could not love Mr. Nightly? *sigh*
S3 SPOILERS
So I broke down this morning and read the AB and the writers spoilers. Yeah - my resolve is weak at best, and down-right pitiful when you really get to it. But I was curious to see that Bill's only gone for 6 episodes. Six? They're obviously changing up the book. Of course, that's not really surprising either, as they will continue to deviate more and more from the books. But six? I understand that six days (assuming they keep the frantic pace) of torture would be a really long time, but gosh. That's just... Not what I'd thought.
Maybe we should start stockpiling water now, to wash down all the processed cheese?
Woof woof

Good (early) morning, peeps:
The whirlwind continues today and I if I get a few seconds of computer time, I will consider myself lucky. I didn't get home from work until after 7:00 p.m. and Computer Hog is very, very sick. Plus, I get the luxury of doing some of his work while he is out.
Piperpals: Glad you could peek in, even if just a little. I love The Scarlet Pimpernel with Richard E. Grant and Elizabeth McGovern. This is rather strange, too: Richard E. Grant is in the Twelfth Night production we've been discussing and when I re-watched it a few weeks ago, I can remember seeing Mr. Grant and thinking it would be good to rent The Scarlet Pimpernel sometime soon. It has been a few years since I've seen it.
Hajni: Thanks for the news about Imogen Stubbs. Her marriage would explain why we haven't seen her again. I hope that you do get to go to the UVA event. Perhaps the fact that you are the only one going and the area that you live in is littered with a number of people on the boards is a good sign, a sign that it won't be a crowded mess.
Blue: Hang in there.
Sorry to be so off topic, but I have no more time left. Must run out the door and go to an early, early hearing in the next city over. I will certainly try to make it back.

Hey all: Just a note and then have to rest.
Thanks Haj, VampAnnie, Mar, fulvia and DJ for the wishes and concerns. Believe me, they are needed and appreciated.
I have emailed a couple of you and they keep bouncing back. I have been having trouble with my emails for weeks. I am trying to get another email server. Will apprise when I do.
Thanks again. Miss everyone.

Poking her head inside the railcar for a brief moment, Piperpals puts down a lemon bundt cake and some jasmine tea for the passengers.
Hello all...
Just had to pop in to say, sadly, that though I would treasure the opportunity to hitch a ride with Hajni, my church duties as music director require my presence at work on Sunday AM. Sigh. If you go, Hajnalka... I will travel with you in spirit!
My favorite period movie is SENSE AND SENSIBILITY with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, and the always fabulous Alan Rickman as the morose Captain Brandon. That man can do no wrong as far as I am concerned...
I do own a lovely collection of BBC TV DVDS that a friend gave me for Christmas -- and there is a truly wonderful adaptation of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL with Richard Grant. He's another rogue with irrepressible charm and debonair.
Kind of reminds me of a certain FIRST SEASON Lieutenant that we know, eh...?
'Night all,
Piperpals

Haj:
Where do you stand on the 'Shakespeare didn't write the plays of Shakespeare' controversy?
The only thing I've read about it said something to the effect the Shakespeare everyone thinks wrote the plays was a relatively uneducated, lower class guy who couldn't have written them, he simply didn't have the ability to write such great works. I thought this a somewhat elitist attitude, but I really don't know anything about any of it, either about Shakespeare, his history, or even about the plays themselves.
It took me a week, one of those yellow 'cheat sheet' books & the Mel Gibson 'Hamlet' on tape to read that one. It was a somewhat comical effort, involving reading the play with the yellow book at my elbow, then watching the same scenes from Mel's movie.
In the end, the only thing I was sure of was that Hamlet was a wishy-washy, self-absorbed ass & Ophelia was an idiot for killing herself over him. Not sure that was the message I was supposed to get... I decided not to go any further into Shakespeare-land.
