021. bridget jones's diary.

i finished reading bridget jones's diary. eh. it was a quick, light, easy read, so that was good, but it didn't make any impressions or whatnot. and it's quite a rare occasion that i'd say the movie was better than the book. also, the movie was quite different from the book, omitting many, many scenes - but that is always expected when a book hits the big screen.

oh, what is there to expect from a chick book? haha. time to move onto better reads. perhaps on the road by jack keruouac? or i capture the castle by dodie smith? although maybe not the latter; i think bridget jones was enough british for me for a bit. it was all british lingo, and, seriously, as i type this, i am saying all this in my head in a british accent! how odd.

i'm in the mood to rent (a) movie(s), but what, i do not know. the other day i rented bridget jones: the edge of reason. hahahaha. just figured i might as well watch the sequel. i didn't quite fancy that as much as i did the first movie though, but it was still cute. gosh, i'm such a sucker for sappy chick flicks. oh dear. oh yes! i also watched the new pirates movie, pirates of the caribbean: at world's end, last night with aimmee, her godbrother & godsister, dan, and kelly. that was pretty good, i suppose. i think the pirates movies don't have the same effect on me as the first one did. ehhhh. i thought the first one was amazing when i first saw it, and i willingly watched it again at the theater. lol. i saw ray working at the theater last night! so that was nice; hadn't seen him in a long time. we chatted it up a bit before the movie. hmmm. i still have jackie's/alex's dvd, thumbsucker, which i've been meaning to watch. perhaps i will watch that.

we are getting our kitchen remodeled entirely at the moment, so there are a bunch of big chinese guys in our kitchen (or what's left of it, at least. haha), hammering away at the countertops (actually, i don't think there are any more countertops left right now) and doing whatever is done when one remodels a kitchen.

tonight is dorothy's birthday dinner (it is, afterall, her birthday today). i think it'll be at guppy teahouse (in cerritos!). that girl has become obsessed with that place, i suppose. haha. that should be fun. :)
