Fun idea from ladykaty4

This is fun! I think everyone should do this.

(I picked this icon, but it was really hard!!! Almost a tie between the Boating Beauties on and my new Vigee-le Brun.)

Why thank you.

Today I made icons for the first time in a long time. Much fun. :)

TNW made John Smith and Pocahontas rather sweet. I didn't like the idea either, but it's so sweet then mournful they almost pull it off. *g* I personally like John Rolfe and her's very gentle romance during the last hour of the movie. It is precious.

My youngest sibling is six, and she is much fun as well as the rest. :) We stamped cards today, all us girls and it was a lovely time.
Oh indeed, boys can be very hungry and they must be fed! :) They can cook themselves a fair bit, so that is helpful at times.

Inkblots--is a literary magazine from a Christian perspective. I've enjoyed it very much, especially the issues on Jane Austen, Literary heroines and heros. :)

Stepping Heavenward, I read several years ago, and liked it to some point. I can't remember very much of it.

I should start coining that Lizzy phrase as well, very cute. :)

Did you like the newest P&P?

Blessings,

You're welcome. ;-)

I've just discovered how to screencap, so I have a new toy!! :-D

Who played Rolfe?

How old are your brothers? Mine is 18, and he's always hungry. ;-) He can handle himself in the kitchen, but I try to do it for him mostly, because I feel mean. ;-)

Does Inkblots have any online articles I could sample?

Stepping Heavenward is definitely worth a re-read!!

As to your question, I didn't hate it, but I didn't care for it very much, either. There were too many things wrong with it; namely, the deviations from the novel, the sculpture gallery garbage, the costumes weren't as accurate as they should have been, and I do not like Keira Knightley, and Donald Sutherland is irritating and American. I am also convinced that Joe Wright has no respect for a literary adaptation, and he was so caught up in making things "pretty" or symbolic that he missed the whole point of the film. I did like some of the scenery, but after watching the commentary, they were discovered to be CGI, which spoilt it for me. ;-) I did think Tom Hollander made a great Mr. Collins, and I rather liked Rosamund Pike as Jane. What did you think of it?

Screencappng is rather addictive. I have hoards of them in my files to prove it. :) Have fuN!

One of my brothers, is just your brother's age...the other just became a teenager. Ah! I do most of the cooking, so then don't feel bad when they lend a hand now and then. :)

Christian Bale was Rolfe. Brilliant! :)


If I don't think of P&P as P&P...weird huh, it's sweet, clean and pretty. Kiera isn't my favorite either. I liked Darcy though! :) And you are right, Mr. Collins was brilliant, and Jane was beautiful and sweet in this version. =)

Have you read the book "Mother"?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes!! Now I've got my brother doing it!! ;-) Our desktop wallpaper on the family computer now rotates between Jane Austen flicks and war movies....lol.

I do most of the cooking here, too, and all of the baking, which I don't do as much of as I used to, since we moved into a smaller house with a smaller kitchen.

How do you feel about cleaning whole chickens?? I used to think it was disgusting, but it's actually not as gross when you're the one doing it, versus watching someone else.

Keira is way too modern, plus I think she's too skinny. Her hair wasn't very period, either, and I resented the tomboy-ification of Lizzy's character. I thought the boiled potatoes line was priceless, as was the Collins-nearly-getting-brained-by-Darcy's-elbow routine. LOL!! I was pleasantly surprised at MM's Darcy -- he wasn't as bad as I thought he was going to be. ;-) You know who he's married to in real life?

I still prefer the '95 Firth/Ehle P&P hands down!!! Just watched it the other day (for the millionth time) in fact.

No, what is "Mother"? I've never heard of it, at least I don't think so.

Have you read Northanger Abbey, or seen the movie?
