lakj Arrested Development was so freaking good and it always is and I really hope that wasn't the last episode ever. Someone better pick it up.

I did end up renting Bridget Jones and Love Actually on Sunday and watched them both. I do think the first Bridget Jones is much better than the second, but I still really like the second. I think it helped for me that I saw the second first, so when the first was better I wasn't disappointed. Seeing them in the right order, I'd probably have been disappointed by the second. Also, there needs to be a movie solely consisting of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth fighting. That would be excellent.

I liked Love Actually a lot, too. I don't know if I would have liked it as much as if I wasn't so... invested, I guess, in some of the actors (Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightly to some extent), but I was, so I did really like it.

I read one of the books I got for Christmas today, The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler. I really enjoyed it. But I think I need to read Jane Austen's other 4 books first before I'd really love it. It was very interesting, though, and I loved reading the parts about Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.

All Southern auditions on Saturday and I'm pretty screwed, but oh well. All I can do is practice every night until the audition and hope that everyone else sucks more than me.

Friending meme! Welcome to all my new friends! :)

Thanks for the nice welcome! I'm a huge Jane Austen fan thus my extension Bridget Jones' fan. I've read all of her books and really like them all but Pride & Prejudice remains my favourite. I also liked Northanger Abbey, which is the one book I found varied from the others in style. Anyway, if you liked the Brudget Jones movies, I really recommend reading the books both are excellent. Goodluck with your auditions!

No problem! :) Ah, that's excellent. I've only read Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, but I really like both and I think I'm going to check out her other four books soon. I think I'm also going to try to get the Bridget Jones books soon, because I really did like both movies. Thank you! :)
