I cannot find a reservation for brunch tomorrow anywhere.  We are not about to wait in a long line either, especially if it might rain.

Okay, so what are your favorite versions of Pride and Prejudice?

I place Elmore’s disliked MGM version second to the top, after the Jennifer Erle-Colin Firth version.

I place the musical First Impressions at the bottom.

1995 BBC version with Ehle and Firth is first, followed by the 1980 BBC version with Elizabeth Garvey as my favorite Lizzie.

Third, the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley. I find the MGM film too coy, and what they did to Lady Catherine de Burgh a disgrace.

"First Impressions" is to Jane Austen what roadkill is to a living thing.

I've never heard "First Impressions."  So, you're saying I don't need to?

;)

Polly Bergen’s voice is lower in range than Farley Granger’s Darcy. It’s disconcerting. Heroine Gingold thinks the show’s about her. And her character songs are excruciating.

Oh, my.

DR George, the only good thing about "First Impressions" is the dance music.

Two of our four immediately local theeders are closed for their second weekend in a row. In the meantime, I'm going to see the penultimate performance of Disaster! tonight, and possibly Death Trap at the other place before its run is over. It's shameful to admit it, but I've never seen that on stage.

This Danish movie A Taste of Hunger is really good. But I’m a little too wound up for subtitles.

I won’t say what I think of DEATHTRAP, or BK will ban me from this site.

Back from my trek to Covenant Family Allergy all the way down in North Augusta off I-20.

I got a very good report and don't go back for three months..

I went to CostCo and found a riding cart.  Did my business, saw stuff from a vantage point I had never done before, and bought my goodies.




Yes, it takes a while to get used to talking to people’s crotchs.
