All manner of Nonesense

Well, I did indeed finish Pride and Prejudice. (Actually, I finished it months ago, but havent got around to posting about it since.) And guess what. No, actually, dont guess, if you read my blog you already know...I...LOVED IT!! Ive considered seeing the movie but im thinking, dont bother, it'll just be disappointing if they dont live up to the book (which they cant anyways.) So. Since then, i have struggled to find a new book to captivate my interest, which was for a while the Montmorency series by Eleanor Updale, which did capture it nicely. A bit un-advanced, but it made up for its deficiencies in its well- moving action- oriented story line. Sadly, owing to the shortness of the novels and (relative) ease of reading, i finished them shortly, voracious book- pig my mother so often fondly calls me. So i resorted to a series I had promised myself to pick up again so as to refresh myself for the newly released third. This one is The Looking Glass Wars, by Frank Beddor. The first two, The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, are very good, a modern and updated twist on Alice in Wonderland, which i considered so fitting to read seeing as i hope to see the new movie. The books have all the main characters, though a bit shuffled about, yet they all have unique and highly differing personalisties and none ever seem to be shoved to the fore while others stories are relegated to the back, like i see in so many books. The story line follows them all, with (expected, of course) emphasis on Alyss Heart, the main character, who we see come from flightly seven-year-old into full-fledged 20-year-old Queen by the end of the book. I recommend it sincerely!
Now, wait a moment, i seem to have gotten off topic... what was i talking about at first? Ah, as i scroll up the page, i remember. Pride and Prejudice. Well, as i have no more to say on that subject, and have filled it out with all this Manner of Nonesense, ill be off, shall I?

Alice in Wonderland

Well, it seems I've been blogging alot lately about movies, i feel compelled to keep that trend. (not that anyone notices- i only have 85 profile views!) anyways, my latest must- see is the new Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton. It looks like it will be awesome- i read that the actors filmed alot, and even mostly, on green screen and it has many familiar faces in it, like Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Alan Rickman (Snape from Harry Potter) as one of the Caterpillars, (so far two Potter stars) and then theres Anne Hathaway from The Devil Wears Prada and last, but certainly not least, Johnny Depp of Pirates of the Caribbean. Of course, everyone knows he's a phenom actor, so I think he can make this (quirky- definetely unavoidably quirky, bordering on weird and [possibly] frightening) movie something that will go up for Oscars. (If the oscars are awarded for movies- i get my Grammies and Tonys all mixed up.) Anyways. I'll def. post if i see it, which i plan to, because March 5th (its release date) is the Friday before my Spring Break, so I will make a trip to the theater.

Pride and Prejudice

all the slammin shorties in da house say YEAH!!!
ohk, my random momnent is over, now to business-
i hace almost finished reading the classic Pride and Prejudice, and i must say, i think i like it a bit more than i did sense and sensibility. (or even, for that matter, sense and sensibility and sea monsters.) though as i read i find it has many plot points in common with sense and sensibility. And i must also say, whenever i read those overly-praising forenotes by historians or watever, i dont believe half of waht they say about all the supposed prose and good witty etc. lines allegedly portained in the books. But pride and prejudice.. lived up to it! i must say adieu , though, because i will shortly have to abandon my computer and get back to class.
