*I have been known to buy products based solely on their shiny packaging.
*I set my alarm clock 30 minutes early every day just so I can get some snooze time in.
*I re-potted a plant last week, ending my long streak of not voluntarily touching dirt.
*I watched Bride & Prejudice this weekend, and even though it was one of the most bizarre movies I've ever seen, I kind of liked it.
*I have little or no sympathy for lazy people.
Posted by christin at July 11, 2005 02:49 PM | TrackBackMy guess is that it had British people with Indian descent in the movie. The big Taj Mahal-esque building in the background gives it away.
I did like "Bend it like Beckham" though... I might give it a try.
Actually, after watching the trailer, that looks pretty cool.
My sis wants to watch the new Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightly (who was in Bend it like Beckham, oddly enough).
Posted by: joe at July 12, 2005 08:10 AMActually, the Indians in the movie spoke English with an Indian (rather than Bristish accent). It took me a few minutes to understand their accents. The weirdest thing about the movie was that it was a musical...I mean an old-school-Hollywood-random-people-in-the-streets-bursting-out-into-song sort of musical. I think I'll watch it again before I return it.
I haven't seen Bend It Like Beckham, but I hear good things.
I forgot about the new P & P coming out, but I am looking forward to it.
My heart is deeply and sincerly attached to the original A&E Pride and Prejudice. It is so close to the books; it's wonderful. It would be difficult for me to watch a remake. Maybe I could if I only considered it a movie, instead of P&P.
Posted by: merry_maiden at July 13, 2005 09:29 AMI too watched that movie this weekend! I loved it simply because of the music: I've been listening to a lot of that sort of stuff lately. Nice and light-hearted, with some good insights if you stop to think about it. Nothing compares to the A&E, though.

As far as the shiny packaging...maybe you're a racoon?
