My mommy and sister are gone back home. I'm glad they came, even though it seemed to go quickly. Well, 4 days is pretty fast. We went to the Grand Canyon via the scenic route, got me a new bookshelf, and ate a ton. I should write more here, but I'm feeling lazy. :)

Finished watching Bleak House. I like it. Maybe not enough to watch it again, but I liked it. Well, I take that back. I'm sure I'll watch parts of it here and again. One character's voice, not face, was so familiar, I had to pause it to check imdb. Mrs. Rouncewell on BH turned out to be the gypsy on Jane Eyre. Ah hah! I knew it was somebody I should know!

When I was listneing to the audio book, it took a LOOOOOOONG time for me to figure out what the heck was going on. I didn't even realize it was a mystery of sorts. You've got so many storylines to follow: Esther, Richard and Ada, the Jarndyce case, Lady Dedlock, Tulkinghorn, Guppy, etc. Dickens tells so much about everyone (and I had the abridged version!); The couple where the wife turned out to be Esther's aunt's old housekeeper got like 20 minutes in the book, and about 3 in the movie.

Smallweed, yeah, I'll shake him up LOL.

I liked it, and couldn't wait to see more, but I can't see sitting through all 8 hours again.

(did you see the N&S picspam post?)

Yeah, it was hard enough keeping up with everyone the first time around watching the DVD, I can't imagine how it would be with an audio book. I've watched it probably 5 times total, which wouldn't be anything if we were talking about P&P, but BH...yeah lol.

Lol so hard!

I saw the post but didn't click. Bad of me, I know. I kept thinking about it though.

Speaking of which, last night I put in N&S before bed. I've decided to go through my movies again. Mr. Thornton! Golly, he's the bee's knees! :P

BH 5 times? That's award-worthy! Here, have some of the Mexican rice I made.

I think it's funny that everyone knows everyone in the story. Or, tehy knew someone at an earlier point in life. How exaggerated is that, I wonder. Not just in Dickens, but Austen as well.

Yay for watching N&S again. I love my brooding man.
