I saw the movie Love and Friendship and it is insanely awesome. The film is based on Austen's short story Lady Susan and it is one of the most brilliant and cleverly made movies of this year and I give major kudos to Kate Beckinsale as Susan and Tom Bennett as James Martin--TB in particular made me laugh out loud--the man needs to win all the awards in the world. Go and see it :):)
Sad news about Harper Lee
Feb. 19th, 2016 11:41 amI just read that Harper Lee has died at 89 years old. I adored To Kill A Mockingbird--Scout and Jem had an awesome sibling relationship and Atticus Finch was one of the best fictional dads EVER--and her characterization of the deep South in the 1930's was haunting and deeply moving. RIP, Ms. Lee.
Do yourself a favor and watch this extremely enjoyable movie:):)

Death Comes to Pemberley
Oct. 26th, 2014 10:19 pmHas anyone else seen this? Holy crap but I can not get past just how horribly unattractive the actors are who are playing Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy amd I know that's shallow but it's disconcerting to see the pretty and sparkingly Elizabeth played by such an older and drab woman. And the characaterization seems wrong--since when does Elizabeth call her husband "Darcy?"
I saw this on Tumblir, so I’m bringing it here--a Book Meme! List ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard — they don’t have to be the “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you, and the books do not have to be in any certain order. ETA: If you have any questions about my book choices, ask away! :)
( Here is my list :):) )
Now who wants to play? :):)

Another Snow Storm--is it Spring yet?
Mar. 2nd, 2014 02:42 pmSo here in the Northeast, we are preparing for our 14th snowstorm this season, and I'm kind of done. I don't think I can actually take any more shoveling, so I'm going to post five things I'm excited about and/ or looking forward to:

Random Post of Randomness
Apr. 17th, 2012 08:42 amFirst, thanks for everyone who left such lovely compliments on my meme yesterday--I shall save it in my memories and reread it when I need a morale boost.
And second, I love doing these random post of randomness where I vent about life, my own problems or my favorite TV shows. Well guess what? This one's going to be a veritable bouillabaisse of everything I'm annoyed at right now:

I just finished this pretty cool book called The Intrigue at Highbury, and if you think the title sounds kind of Jane Austen-esque, you would be correct.

Noel Coward--a bold playwright
Apr. 11th, 2010 09:38 pmMy mom and I took the train into Center City today and we saw the Noel Coward play, Fallen Angels, at the Walnut Street Theater. The man wrote that play in 1927 and judging from how hard we were all laughing, it was still just as damn funny in 2010.

I'm loving this January Weather :):)
Jan. 8th, 2008 10:45 amWell, it is January and the weather outside is so freakin' balmy I can't stand it. I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and normally, the temp is in the 30s or 40s. This week it is going to be in the 60s.
I am reminded of a quote from one of my favorite Shakespeare plays Much Ado About Nothing:
Leonato: You will never run mad, niece.
Beatrice: No, not till a hot January.
Act I, sc1
So I guess that means Beatrice will be able to finally run mad and fall madly in love with Benedick. :):)
