Pride and lots of prejudice.

Have i told you how much I love love love pride and prejudice? I watched the bbc version not too long ago and all i could do was gush about Mr. Darcy for a month. Then i watched Bridget Jones' Diary and then the recent movie version of P&P. I didn't realize what it had done to me until Jeanne mentioned I was turning into a sap because of it. I promptly ended my P&P watching spree, and replaced it with lots of basketball and "fight words." Has anyone watch Bride and Prejudice? Another offshoot of Jane Austin's classic--only with singing Indians. Haha, that Bollywood...cracks me up.

Anyway, if you've seen the bbc version of P&P you're prob convinced British people are the fugliest humans in the world. If you dont' know the story (and SHAME ON YOU if you don't), Jane is supposed to be the prettiest of all the sisters, if not one of the prettiest in the town......
Whatever, maybe beauty in those days consisted of a long nose, messed up teeth, and a distorted body. SOMEONE thought she was pretty enough to cast her as Jane, so I'm wrong somewhere. The character that plays Lizzy is ok--she got prettier and prettier the more I looked at Jane.

I think Britishwood got the hint in 2005 with their movie version. All the female characters got an upgrade. And by upgrade I don't mean from a version 2.0 to a 2.0.13654342--I mean a version 2.0 to "a lot higher than you can count."

Still, I recommend the BBC version over all the others--no one can beat Collin Firth. ...hmm, except for maybe Wentworth Miller of Prison Break. Heehee

I'm going to eat Todai today. Why am I telling you this? Because eating todai is a treat. The one in this area is always FILLED with asians. It's really scary seeing all these black-haired people feasting on raw fish--grrr! (blood gushing everywhere) We are such animals! I am currently in starvation mode to prepare me for eating my money's worth.

The other day I was walking to one of the office restrooms and I saw a guy walk out of the men's room and zip up his fly. I pretended I didn't notice (hard not to notice when you could hear the "ziiip" sound), but then I wrestled over how he prob didn't wash his hands..and therefore was spreading his nastiness all over the place. Let's finish our restroom duties inside the restroom ;)

Break out the kleenex

Stank'n country music. This song makes me cry...and then cry some more.

Putting Away the Humdifier

Greetings friends! It is so friggity humid here in Virginia. I cannot breathe--I feel like a wet rag when i'm out side. Please help wring me dry. I find it sadly amusing that just a few months ago I was complaining about the need for moisture in the apartment. But looky here now--i could shuffle my feet on the carpet and touch metal and the only thing i'd get would be wet socks. That sounds gross, like our carpet is damp or something, but it's not. Jeanne and I turn our A/C to an artic 78 degrees (please do not complain about it being "sticky" when you come over).

I'm leaving Saturday night for a trip to the GRAND CANYON with the Huangs. I'm looking forward to helping my mom shield herself from the sun. We are of course going to stop by Las Vegas, so this will be my first trip to Sin City. How sad that it is with two non-gamblers and a minor.

Yesterday we went to D&B to surprise Lil James Kim for his bday. He turned a whopping 17 yrs old! Actually we surprised him just outside the restaurant b/c he was not of-age... and then we all went inside to have fun as he watched from the window.
