I have my iPod! I didn't think it'd come till next Wednesday, at the earliest, but it's here! :D I also got my expansion pack for the Sims 2.

Last night was pretty fun. I went to Emma's house with Soan and did pretty much nothing for 4 hours. We were going to watch a movie but they didn't have anything we wanted at Blockbuster and when we finally chose something it had taken like an hour and at that point no one really wanted to watch anything anyways.

I also found the most ridiculous version of Pride and Prejudice on TV last night. It involved an inexplicably hispanic Jane; a cast that was entirely American and lived in Utah except, of course, Darcy, who was British; and Jane telling Elizabeth that she and Bingley spent the first night they met each other discussing dolphins. I mean, ok, it was terrible. But come on. It was so terrible it was hilarious. Just... dolphins! And Lydia ordering Kitty to take out this book (the Pink Bible) and read this page and Kitty taking it out and, while wearing sunglasses, complaining "It's too dark!" and Lydia tearing the sunglasses off her face and then Kitty saying "Oh!" all perkily, and I didn't do justice to the hilarity of that moment, but it was excellent. Plus, the Darcy was far better than the Darcy from Bride and Prejudice (of course, can't match Colin Firth, or even Matthew MacFadyen, but still excellent).

After going to the animal shelter and then Barnes and Noble to spend $70 on SAT books, Galaxy came over to work on the French project. Which basically consisted of me playing with my iPod and us deciding who would do what and then her leaving 4 hours later. We work well together.

That... sounds hilariously fucked up.  Isn't it great when you stumble across randomly jacked up things like that, that just make you wonder... "What the hell were these people on?"

I'm on such a P&P high right now, though, seriously.  Between repeat viewings of the miniseries and the 2005 flick, it's great. :)

It was so awesome. Just... everything was so ridiculous. Wickham was arrested for bigamy! Mary ended up with Collins! It was pretty great.

Haha, I know what you mean. I was more obsessive over it a month or two ago, when we were studying it in English, but I'm still pretty into it right now. The new one and the miniseries are both excellent.

Insanity.  Sheer insanity.

I finally watched the new P&P. I did like it, even if everyone I knew said it was bad cos they changed so much, from costumes, to the Bennet family's wealth, to the fact that ladies in Austen's time wouldn't go romping about with their hair down and going out of the house at three o'clock wearing their nightgown covered by a ratty robe...

But the movie in itself is beautiful to look at, the costumes, scenery, the angles...I think they did purposefully change some things (the director said so in December Vogue). Very pretty. Very nice to iconize. :D

I was actually expecting to really dislike the new P&P and ended up enjoying it very much. They did change things, but there really wasn't anything they changed that was great enough to bother me. They captured the essence of the book very well, I thought.

And yeah, it was an absolutely beautiful movie. Heh, definitely nice to iconize.

It was pretty ridiculous, but very entertaining.

I actually got a video iPod. I love it so very much. :D

I think it probably would be on DVD, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it was like a made for TV movie, or if it was actually released, or what. If you want to check it out, I think it was made in... 2003?
