So. Much. Work. And. Study! Writing this so I can take a break from trying to work on my third of a group presentation. Not that I don't love you or anything! :) (Whoever you may be!).
Well, the last thing I wrote about was my King Lear theatre review. I think I might be getting my marks for it tomorrow, so fingers crossed! The reason the results were delayed was because my lecturer was getting married! (She told us that she had a lovely day, just in case you're wondering). The day of her wedding she left us to watch A Streetcar Named Desire for our class. Possibly one of the most depressing films I've ever watched, I honestly had an ache in my chest at the end of it! If you ever plan on watching it make sure you have a box of tissues and a stiff drink beside you. I'm supposed to have it read for tomorrow and I haven't had the heart to start it yet, so I'll let you know how that goes.
Sorry if this post seems a little scattered, but I'm kind of on the frazzled side at the moment!
You know what? I need to talk about something other than college, but it's still English related so it's okay!
I'm doing the Pride & Prejudice Challenge, as seen at austenprose.com! You pick an appropriate number of Pride & Prejudice related books / DVDs / webcasts / audiobooks etc. and make a plan to have them all completed before the end of the year.
This is my list:
Prom and Prejudice
Pride & Prejudice (Book)
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Mr. Darcy’s Diary
Pride & Prejudice (1985)
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies
Jane Austen’s Letters
Bride & Prejudice
What Matters In Jane Austen
Some of them are films and books that I'm re-reading and re-watching, but as far as I can tell that's allowed! Anyone that likes modern interpretations of Pride & Prejudice should check out The Lizzie Bennet Diaries on Youtube! They are so funny and you get caught up in it even if you already know what happens!
The graphic novel was decent enough, nothing special, just okay. I don't feel I need to say anything about the 1995 film version except: Colin Firth. Lake. Enough said. An Unexpected Lady was brilliant! It was a continuation of P&P but from Kitty's POV. I've always wanted to know more about Kitty because she's kind of a non-character in the book, even Mary has more of a personality! There was obviously a lot that had to be created by Leila M. Silver but I think she did a good job of creating it realistically. There's also one from Mary's POV coming out this year, so I'll definitely be getting that!
I'm looking forward to seeing Bride & Prejudice again. So cheesy and so fun! :) What Matters in Jane Austen should be interesting as well. My brother got it for me for Christmas but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Also looking forward to Mr. Darcy's Diary! I'd never read one of them before but when I added it to my list I went off and bought Mr. Knightley's Diary... as you do. It was excellent though so I'm really excited about invading Darcy's privacy next!
I've probably rambled on for long enough this time so I'll save my coherent thoughts for another occasion! So I shall now bid you an abrupt toodles!
Until Next Time!
