I finished both Bridget Jones books last night. I liked them both a lot, more than the movies (why couldn't the whole bit with Mark's line "It's all right. I realize I'm here. I don't think it's the sort of thing we should be keeping from each other," be put in the movie? I couldn't stop giggling over that line. And there were many others like that that I had wished had made it into the movie). And yeah, the second movie is nearly nothing like the book. But there are some things about the movies that I like more than the books. Anyways, I'm glad I bought the books.

I also watched Love Actually with the commentary on. hee. I love Hugh Grant just constantly bashing Colin Firth. They need to do a movie together (preferably involving many scenes with them fighting each other) and do a commentary on the movie together, because that would be excellent.

All Southern auditions tomorrow. I don't know how likely it is I'll make it, but oh well. Nothing more I can do than make sure all my scales are memorized.

School starts up again on Monday, and then I have two weeks and then it's finals. Eck. I wish my school was more like other schools and had finals right before winter break. It's such a hassle to be learning all this stuff, then take two weeks off, and then have to remember everything you learned before break in addition to learning bunch a new stuff for two weeks and then have to study your ass off. Especially since my grades are so borderline this year (well, ok, half my grades are. But I don't want half my grades to be B's), so I really need to ace some of my finals. I miss freshman year. sigh.

i always find films never do books justice which really bugs me! They always seem to leave funny lines out! I've read the first bridget jones before the film came out and i loved it. I should really get back to reading the second!

Yeah, I agree. That's why it was kind of nice in this case to see the movies first and then read the books. Then I wasn't disappointed by the movies. You should definitely read the second, I really liked it. It's completely different from the movie, though. It's barely recognizable as the same story.
