Observations during BBC's P&P

**How does Colin Firth look older in this than he does now, it seems? I think his face is thinner now-a-days and that's why.

**The Jane actress is not as pretty as Jennifer Erhle, not even close. But maybe if she didn't have to have parted-down-the-middle curlequed bangs she'd look better? Ohm you know what, yes. I remember seeing a nice photo of her--yes, here. The Google image results.

**And Mary - are we to suppose that she has autism, though somewhere early on the spectrum?

**I still just love how Caroline Bingley later played the treacherous fiance of Colin Firth in "What a Girl Wants".

**Oh, and look, there's Maria Lucas, AKA the girl from the British "Office" AKA the woman who was the TV gf of shortlived real life bf from my youth.

Fun times!

Pride and Prejudice and Pride and Prejudice AND ZOMBIES

I just re-read Pride and Prejudice in preparation for reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which I hear, on NPR, is actually a clever spin off of the book. Some of the other spin-offs out there are dreadful beyond all belief. I read a Mr Darcy one last year. Turbull, jes turbull.

I think I'm going to get a copy this weekend or so, and I will let you how it is when I'm done. In the meantime, my fiction kick continues. I picked up Middlemarch today, which is so many people's favorite book, and might start that soon.

Coming My Way - DVDs & Books

DVD - Don't ask me what took me so long, but I finally ordered and will be receiving Colin Firth in "Pride and Prejudice." FIVE HOURS of my fav thing: the wet shirt, Jane Austen and The Best Book in the Whole Wide World (adapted to the screen).

FREE BOOK - I've been chosen as an early reviewer from Library Thing for "Superfoods". Stay tuned for a post on the book, once it come in the mail. I picked this book to review because of the whole health kick/ Mediterranean Diet thing.

NEW to ME BOOK - To round things out, I have also ordered Veil, Rae Armantrout's selected poems. I can't remember who it was that said they love "selected poems" rather than "collected works" because they're more portable and discriminating, but I agree.

The Lake

Picture's from My TV During the Rebroadcasting of BBC's Pride and Prejudice

I am such a dork i actually took pictures of the lake scene, so I could have it as a screen saver (though, of course, not the wallpaper - all wallpaper is Rosa and Rosa only).


=Sigh= He's so dreamy.


Where is my Mr Darcy? Oh, that's right. He doesn't exist. Jane Austen could never find the perfect man, so she had to write one up to satisfy her head.

Anyway. Enjoy.

OMG 3 degrees!!!!!

BBC's Pride and Prejudice Re-run on PBS



Oh. My. God. I am three degrees of separation from Colin Firth IN Pride and Prejudice. It's because of Lucy Davis. I'm watching the rebroadcasting on Channel 44 and little Maria Lucas, following everyone around at Rosings, looks so familiar...Hmmm...

She was in BBC's Office! And, more recently and relevant-ly, in last year's canceled NBC show Studio 60. She played one of the writers. Her character had a relationship with one of the cast member characters...You-Know-Who!

So, there you are. 3 degrees. Not that it means anything. There's all sorts of interesting little connexions that have occurred through that POS. All very interesting and whatnot. But since I'm so ridiculously IN LOVE with Colin Firth, Mr Darcy and BBC's Pride and Prejudice from 1995, I just had to share this one.
