Recently, several friends noted that they would not be able to continue speaking to me if I did not watch Pride and Prejudice very, very soon. Since Jeanne loaned me the DVDs back in, um, March maybe, I could see why she’d want me to get this out of the way.

So Saturday night, I sat down with my latest sock project and a gluten-free beer and watched the miniseries.

“Hey May, Mom’s got the DVD player open – maybe we’ll get to watch our kitty DVD again!” -Chaos

“That is not our kitty DVD. Hmph.” -Mayhem

“I give this DVD one tongue out because it didn’t have enough cats or pigeons.” -Chaos

“Hmph.” -Mayhem

The kitties were unimpressed, but I enjoyed it (but oh, those sideburns – I hated them something fierce!) and am looking forward to watching Bridget Jones’s Diary again to catch all the allusions to Pride and Prejudice. (Scroll down to the “Trivia” section at the IMDB entry for Bridget Jones’s Diary to read about all of the references.)
