metaquotesed me!* I'm all famous now. Such an ego boost to be metaquoted. Silly little thing, but there you go.

On the Guardian online today there is an article about the new Pride and Prejudice movie staring whatserface and some other guy. I don't have a huge desire to see it, as I don't think a 2 hour movie can do justice to the story line, and also that the Colin Firth version was the definitive version. The author of the article agrees with me slightly and has this to say about the 'new' Darcy: (And watching this new and rather pallid Darcy wandering about his woods, you can't help wondering when the real chap is going to pop out of the shrubbery with his shirt dripping and order the impostor off his land.) Shirt dripping. Hee.

What do you think of this Portrait of JK Rowling? I think she looks really unhappy. I get the whole box/barefoot thing is supposed to show the abject poverty she was living in whilst starting Harry Potter, but I think there ought to be a look on her face that shows she is happily creating a new world. Or something. What do I know about art?

*yes, I know 'metaquotesed' isn't a word. Work with me, here.
