It's been a while. I've just finished my first week of classes. They were great. I'm excited about my Victorian Lit class. We did the overview and my professor was saying that a lot of the topics we would be covering were "stoner" issues. That is right up my alley (talking about where humanity is in the universe).
I'm watching Pride and Prejudice (the newest one). It's my favorite. Now I love Colin Firth and the old one a lot but there is just something about this new one that I love. Whenever I watch movies I feel like I can see them being made. Like I can feel the set. I like how this movie doesn't have that awkward British humor. Now I love my British comedies just as much as the rest of the world but that doesn't mean the humor isn't just ever so very much British (clearly).
mmm Summer Saugsage. Don't you just love a slice of Summer Sausage on a Ritz?
But this movie, this story I suppose, is very pan-generational in a way. Sometimes I see the way that one of the characters is on screen and I just see that they are acting. I guess this is like what I was saying earlier. But I see how they react to certain things because that's the way they are written but in my head its a bit overdramatic or something and I just think, "What's the big deal?"
My favorite scene. In the drawing room. Mr. Darcy is writing. I love how Mr. Bingley just looks like a big goof when he laughs at Elizabeth's joke. Goob.
I like to watch this movie with the commentary because the movie is quiet itself and the commentary is too, so it will just relax you into a coma. I wish we still dressed nicer. Like a guy walking down the road in tails and women always wearing dresses. So fancy! It could be updated of course to current fashions. Mmmm Matthew Macfadyen is so yummy. I want an english style home with all the different rooms and such. 'Twill be a goal I have for my perfect house.
Aw Lizzy loves her sisters so much. I love the hand moment when Mr. Darcy helps Lizzy into the carriage. Most beautiful.
I used to not care too much for Kiera Knightly until this movie and also The Jacket (with Adrien Brody [HOT!]). I think she did such a good job. And when I watched the commentary the producer talked about how she was very still between takes and saved all her energy for acting the scene. I respect that kind of passion.
I am thinking that I want to get a blacklight tattoo. I would tell you what I want to get but then you might steal my idea then it wouldn't be as special. But don't worry, when I get it I will certainly share some pictures.
What do you think about scarification?
I love all the angles and the layout of this movie. How the camera moves is so nice.
I'm taking an art class so you can expect to get some pictures of my work in the future. Speaking of my work I wrote a little poem, well it was a note I left myself when I was taking a plane flight back home from my mom's house in West Virginia (so I found my poem again just now) and I thought it felt like a poem when I read it so I thought I'd share it with you.
Don't Forget
Don't forget the way the sun shone
through the windows on the plane
and lit up the opposite side of the cabin
in circles like small swaths of fire.
Song of the day is The Hardest Button to Button by the White Stripes!!
This is such a good song. Make sure you listen to the lyrics because they are awesomesauce.
Crisply,

PS: I definitely need to host a ball. We could dress the period, but the music will be more current.
