Definitely one of my new favorite movies. At first I was disappointed, because Colin Firth wasn't as hot as he usually is, but then you get to know Mr. Darcy, and you can't help falling for him. I *love* movies like this. How did it take me so long to watch this one? I felt like the 5 hours wasn't enough. I actually just went on the Blockbuster website and added Sense and Sensibility, Emma, and another version of Pride and Prejudice to my queue. I know I read the book back in 5th or 6th grade, but I had obviously forgotten it's awesomeness. It reminded me of Anne of Green Gables. I kind of wish things were still simple like they were in those movies. That men still treated you like a lady; the biggest drama was Josie Pye daring you to walk on the roof; for fun, you and your friends acted out The Lady of Shalott; and the thing that would make you happiest in the world would be a dress with puffed sleeves. Although, in Pride and Prejudice, some people were such jerks. I don't know how everyone managed to still be polite. I wish I was as cool as Elizabeth; she always made her opinion known without calling anyone crude names like I probably would have. Maybe I will name a daughter after Elizabeth. I've always said I want a daughter named Ella and a son named Ethan. I could keep going with the whole E thing and name another daughter Elizabeth.
Since I am finally done with Practicum I and only have one project left to finish for my Reading and Language Theory class, I decided to spend the evening relaxing with the latest issue of my favorite magazine, Bust .
