lalala

my workout was a little easier today, which made me feel good about myself. i'm also trying to drink the 8 glasses of water that you're supposed to, which is surprisingly hard to do. makes you pee a lot. :P

i watched emma this morning, the film version of jane austen's novel. i finished all her books and still wanted more, so i picked up the movie yesterday, along with zodiac, which i realized i'd already seen after the first 5 minutes and felt stupid. my mom watched it though, so it wasn't a waste. emma was good, but gwyneth paltrow didn't really capture the character as well as i had hoped. jennifer ehle did a much better job in the 1st film version of pride and prejudice. i wasn't a fan of the 2nd with keira knightly, though i do like her. maybe it's because i really like ehle and i wasn't going to be happy with anyone playing mr. darcy but colin firth. he's like every women's fairytale man, as proved by bridget jone's diary...also another example of the original being much better than the sequel.

now i'm out of books, which probably doesn't seem like any sort of tragedy to anyone else but me, but when you work at a job as boring as mine, there is a mandatory need for good reading. i forgot to take the 1st of the riftwar series by feist when i left matt's this morning. i'm debating whether i should stop by there and pick it up before work tonight or leave a little earlier and go to borders to pick up wuthering heights by emily bronte, since it'll be a closer link to jane austen.

i write entirely too much about literature. i can't help it, it was my first true love.
