where I am
working. Trying to stay focused. Once in a while, spending time with my family. Yesterday was my daughter's last day of her sophomore year of high school. She picked a movie, we went to see it. I wouldn't bother reviewing it or even mentioning it, but a question occurs to me. Are there two of Nicole Kidman? One who makes movies like The Interpreter and The Hours and the other makes Bewitched and Stepford Wives. Another reasonable explanation doesn't present itself.
One good thing came from going to the movies, however. This was something pointed out to me by the radiant Robyn Bender, but I could hardly believe it until I saw the trailer: they are doing yet another film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. A two hour one this time. With Kiera Knightly as Elizabeth, and somebody I've never heard of as Darcy. And (I'm not kidding, I swear it's true) Donald Sutherland as Elizabeth's father. To countermand that very odd fact, they've got Judi Dench as Mr. Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. I'm tense about this, to be truthful, but I'll also be first in line on the day it opens here.
Back to work, but first regarding Cynthia's question on whether I could divulge what letter Elizabeth was writing, to whom, about what. Here's my answer: sorry, no. Not right now. I am thinking about posting a small excerpt, in the near future, if that will help.
