  ok, maybe i'm about ten years too late to make this observation, but the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, is fuckin' awesome.
The romance in that series melted out of the tv set like a grilled cheese sandwich with an extra kraft single in it. Even though i know the story really well, there was tension and, even though it was a pre-Victorian English story, there was palpable passion. loved it. even though i hated the book when it was required reading. i went shoe-ing this afternoon, but shoe-shopping sucks so bad.
i hate how stores don't have the models i want in the colors that i want and in the size i need. what is your problem shoe stores in boston? how come you suck hardcore? i think i really miss buying shoes with my dad, though. my dad used to sell shoes in the family department store in a tiny town in NC. he has a surprising number of shoes for a guy.
and he knows his shit and doesn't tolerate crap. if he was only willing to spend upscale money on shoes, he'd be the perfect shoe buying partner. so, instead of getting shoes, i got a bunch of shirts and some shorts to fill out my meagre (using the english spelling here because i'm still under the influence of Lizzy Bennett) summer wardrobe.
