So, I may have ended up catching an episode of Merlin, and uh, it was quite entertaining. I could watch some more.

Some not so deep and meaningful thoughts: Merlin: The Nightmare Begins ... )

Other things that have made me happy today:

- Top Gear repeats
- Really good salmon pizza and beer
- This Brad/Nate fic
- I have a interview-type thing on Tuesday. It's something, at least.

Mood chosen mostly for the synchronized head tilts. Aw, boys.

I changed my LJ theme and the way this new theme displays tags means that they look totally out of control. Which they are really. Must fix them. My previous theme only displayed the 20 most common tags. I wish you could export that to other themes.

The BBC's new adaption of Emma is quite cool, the Emma/Mr Knightley interaction especially. It makes me realise how much the Gwyneth Paltrow version lacked in that department.

I haven't really had the best of days (let's just say that stairs and shelves don't seem to like me and I lose rather important things far too easily) but the Internet has brought me joy in the form of the latest ep reports of VMars ([livejournal.com profile] _jems_'s here with huge and fucking gorgeous picspam) and House ([livejournal.com profile] shrift's here).

I did type up a little more detailed reaction for VMars but really what both come down to is: *flail*

I love these shows and their totally screwed-up characters.

So, yeah, my mood has improved a little bit.

There was also BBC Pride and Prejudice tonight, and that is never a bad thing. I just love Jennifer Ehle and Benjamin Whitrow, among all the other wonderful performances. Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Bennett remain two of my absolute favourite literary characters and P&P one of my favourite books.

I'm still annoyed at myself for losing things so easily, but it's not the end of the world. It's just I've been there three days.

Also, because it's been a while,and I'm curious, a meme:

How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt guilty asking a close LJ friend a question that should be obvious? Here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.

I went to see Pride and Prejudice tonight.

Wherein I mostly compare it to the BBC Mini-Series and it doesn't come out completely unfavourably )

All in all, it definitely wasn't perfect, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Then again, I just love the story. It's easily one of my favourite books, so I was always going to like it unless they made a real hash of it, which they didn't.


Edit: Completely forgot TWW was on tonight. *headdesk*
