becca, Amber and I just got back from Pride & Prejudice.First off, I thought it an extremely well done film. It didn't drag on and it didn't go by in a flurry. The cast were all good actors and I thought it followed the book very closely, given the time frame.
I have seen the A&E production several times and when I heard they were making another version I was appauled. Who could take the places of Colin Firth and Jenifer Ehle? While I must say they did not take the place of these people, whom I will always regard as Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, Keira Knightly (Of whom I am not particulary fond.) and Matthew MacFadyen did an excellent job.
This film had a very different feeling then the A&E and I believe it did the book credit. Mr. Colins was comical, Charlotte was plain and Mr. Bingly was as exuberent as ever. I would highly recommend this movie to all Jane Austen Fans. It is a much morepractical legnth then the 5 hours of it's predecessor. I didn't like every scene, but all in all it was a very enjoyable movie.
In short, I should not be sorry to see it again once it makes it's way to video.
One more thing. Mr. Darcy, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Bingly weren't nearly as handsome in this one.

New Years Eve Eve Eve
2006 is fastly approaching. Are you ready?
I've had so many different new years, I hope this one won't be so crazy.
(Story Time)
Once, long ago in the year 2000, my dad decided we all needed to pack up a lot of stuff and drive to Winthrop. So, we threw 50 lb. bags of flour and rice in the van along with the dutch oven and a suitcase of clothes and things for each of us. When we arrived we noticed a church with all the lights on, so we went in to find out if we could do something for new years. The people there were very nice and invited us to celebrate with them. We played games, drank cider and talked for a while. But as Midnight drew near.....the pastor and some boys went outside followed by everyone else, And they fired off a ton of fireworks! It was really cool, and then after that display there were some people down the street firing them off, so we just sat back and watched. Not long after that we said our goodbyes and went to a hotel. there we watched new years eve around the world and stayed up until at least 5am. Then we drove home and we never left the city for new years ever again.
The end.
*bows*
Phew that was loooooooooooooong. I'll bet you're all asleep by now so I can finally make my escape. See ya suckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muaahahahahahhaahahahahaahhah!

Winter wonderland
It's SNOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am currently sitting next to a gas fire(I'll take what I can get.) and looking out the window at all the snow. There is a lot!
I love it when it snows. especially when I'm sitting inside nice and warm and toasty.
becca wrote about the seasons on her blog too. I'm so glad it's snowing!!!
