Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James

Been bitten by the Jane Austen bug

It’s never wrong to have tea and to read Jane Austen, it doesn't matter where you are or what time of the day it is. Tea is always a good idea and so is Jane Austen. Or maybe that just me, I can’t think of a time when I would say no to a cup of tea, you might say no to reading because you’re tired but you get the point.
I was listening to this podcast and they were talking about “Pride and Prejudice” and it was a guy that said he read it in pool halls in Nashville smoking cigars and drinking scotch. That would be fun to see, I can picture that, sounds like a scene in a movie. If I saw someone reading in a smoky pool hall and drinking I would not think he was reading Jane Austen.
They were also saying that “Pride and Prejudice” was having some problems getting translated back in the day and just like Sarah said much of the charm is in the language and it should be read in English if you can.
Cultural difference also got in the way. The Italians didn't get “Pride and Prejudice” or Mr. Darcy, “My feelings will not be repressed.” Apparently the Italian didn't understand why he would repress his feelings in the first place.
I have two library books that I should read but I want to read Austen so maybe I will read three books at the same time, what could possibly go wrong?

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone, it might not have been the best Easter for my great great grandmother though. I might be "getting my hopes up" but, I could be related to a woman accused of riding a cow to Blåkulla. Blåkulla is where witches went to celebrate the Witch Sabbath with the Devil. I have to start checking for facts... I won't mind having a witch in the family, knock on wood. But if that story is true I could also have Finnish blood in me.

Genealogy only sets you up for disappointment. You want to be related to cool historical people but in the end it's a bunch of farmhands and maids and you feel, "But I am too cool for that, surely there's a pirate in there somewhere. Or a Russian spy..." but there isn't. I am the result of a long line of farmhands and maids and a few of them born out of wedlock.

At least someone is still enjoying the snow...

Weird Science

What have I been up to, well I am having an 80’s movie marathon and I’m trying to watch some 80’s movies that I missed during my childhood. 

Name: Weird Science

Year: 1985

Country: America

Tea: Söderblandning, milk on the side because that’s how I like it

Snack: None

Expectations: 80’s fashion. I want to see pink, spandex and headbands. Some great hair and by great I mean big. It would also be nice with some 80’s music.

The movie does not disappoint, it’s so 80’s I want to get a pair of Reeboks and some tube socks. Oh and lots and lots of hairspray, rough and blue eye shadow! I was too young to wear makeup in the 80’s so I can make up for it now.

Don’t get the wrong, the movie is ridiculous but in an 80’s way so that’s okay. For some reason I kind of believe that these two guy can create a woman with a computer, a Barbie doll and this storm that shows up just because they need one. 80’s computers are the best computers.

Best part of the movie: All things 80’s, the fun dialog and an awkward looking Robert Downy Jr. 

I haven't been here for 3 years, I'm surprised I remember the login... I feel like deleting every embarrassing post but I won't. Maybe I should give this another try...

1. Yes
2. No
3. I don't care

This black thing is very depressing, I need to learn how everything works around here and change that if I'm going to spend time here again.
