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.

Wow the books ordeal went fast! They are quite easy to read though that's true. I love so many things in the second book that never made it into the movie (oh the hole in the wall would have been awesome) but I guess the whole meeting Colin Firth might have been hard to squeeze in.

I don't like Hugh Grant so I don't think I'd enjoy the commentary, haha. I know a guy who's exactly like him, so he bugs me most of the time.

Yeah, they are easy to read, and once I started I couldn't stop. I know what you mean, I wish they'd been able to fit more stuff from the book in. Not even all the huge stuff, there were even just little lines that cracked me up that would've been easy to fit into the movie but didn't make it. Oh well.

I'm not obsessive over Hugh Grant (like I've become over Colin Firth), but I do like him a lot. Still, the commentary isn't just Hugh Grant, there's several other actors and the writer as well, so you might give it a try anyways. But I don't know, the major reason I liked it was probably just Hugh Grant bashing Colin Firth, because I love when they insult each other, so I don't know if you'd like it as much if you weren't in it for that.
