Jan. 6th, 2006 08:46 pmI 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.

Date: 2006-01-07 05:52 am (UTC)I started on Thursday which is shitty and makes no since.
Why not just start on a fresh new week? Well good luck. It sucked for me because I had two new semester courses; Dance and Health. So I had to leave a bunch of my friends that I don't have in any of my other classes. It pisses me off but oh well.
By the way, I wish I got as many comments on my journal as you do. I don't have very many friends here!
Stereophonics "Maybe Tomorrow" is sexy.

Date: 2006-01-07 09:48 am (UTC)School... hmm I start on monday too. I have the same thing as you, two weeks school then finals! that sucks, like you said you have to refresh your memory for the finals. In high school they had finals in between classes, so that you could remember all the stuff you learned. Now you learned stuff, go on a break, forget the stuff you learned, go back to school again and then you have finals. So you have to study real hard to remember all the stuff you learned in class. Such a hassle, that's why I dislike studying now, when before I didn't really had a problem with that...

Date: 2006-01-07 03:31 pm (UTC)yes, the books and the movies have nothing in common, esp. the second movie (though I think it was still funny). So which book do you like more, the BJD or EOR?

Date: 2006-01-07 04:48 pm (UTC)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.

Date: 2006-01-08 06:04 am (UTC)The BJD books really are excellent. I had finished the first and it was like 10 PM then and I shouldn't have started the second, but once I did I couldn't stop, so I stayed up till like 1 AM so I could finish it. I really liked both books a lot. :)

Date: 2006-01-08 06:11 am (UTC)Ah yes, you really should listen to the commentary. It's excellent. Heh, yeah, they totally are in love.
Oh I know, it was surprising how different the 2nd movie is from the 2nd book. I'm not sure which one I like better. They both have really excellent moments. I think I do ultimately like the 2nd book better, though I like the 1st movie more.

Date: 2006-01-08 06:13 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2006-01-08 08:13 am (UTC)I read the first during school, and couldn't put it down. I ignored the teacher's geometry lecture and everything, then finished it when I got home, then started like immediatly on the second. I love books that are hard to put down.

Date: 2006-01-08 07:16 pm (UTC)Heh, that sounds like something I'd do. I'm glad I was able to get the books during break, though, so I would be able to finish them both quickly.
