Becky Withdrawals

My friend Becky has been here since Saturday. I love Becky because we can do pretty much nothing and still have a good time. I don't know if that means I'm lazy. I'm pretty sure it does. Yesterday, we watched the entire 6 hour A&E version of Pride and Prejudice. We also watched the version that came out last year with Keira Knightly and it's pretty good for a quick fix of Mr. Darcy. However, I don't think anyone can argue that Colin Firth is the best Mr. Darcy out there. He's the standard by which all other versions of Mr. Darcy are measured. He is Mr. Darcy. Even when I see him in other movies, I still see him as Mr. Darcy no matter what part he is playing. So, of course after watching the other version and critiquing it for not being exactly like the Colin Firth version, I felt I couldn't be content unless I watched the Colin Firth version as well. It's been a while and it's so great to have Becky to watch it with. It's just like old times. Of course, then we also had to watch Bride and Prejudice, which is the bollywood version of the story. It's pretty entertaining if you've never seen it. It was directed by the same person who directed Bend It Like Beckham. Ok, now I feel like a total nerd. Kind of like when John starts spouting off useless facts about superheros that any normal person wouldn't and shouldn't really know unless they've spend countless hours reading and researching background information on their favorite comic books. I really should get out more.
