Update
I've noticed recently that for the last 9 months, almost every time I type an entry here I assign it to the category of "Happy!". That's because almost every time I write something I've thought: What is this entry about? It's about being Happy! So... Category "Happy!" It's a good category to be living in, even if life isn't perfect. It never is anyway, right? May as well be Happy! while living our imperfect, flawed little lives. Still reading this blasted Android Karenina. I'm not supposed to review it until June 8, but I'll just say you might have to already love Anna Karenina to get into this (I do not), on the other hand, you might also be put off by ALL THE FREAKING ROBOTS walking around in the story too. I'm not getting the POINT to this mishmosh of genres yet. If any of you have actually read Pride, Prejudice & Zombies, could you tell me what you thought of it? I liked the IDEA of it, but I'm not liking the execution of Android Karenina. So I made a new weight chart, and it's on the wall all happy and clean and ready to be filled out. I've been going up and down 5 lbs through the whole winter, and while I wish I had worked out more and LOST more weight, at least the worst that's happened is I've only gained 5 pounds. I mean... it makes me sad when I see the past Biggest Loser winners and they've all gained back quite a bit of weight. It's sad but also scary. So I'm glad I'm only 5lbs up. BUT, now it's time to take the last 40 off. I had a lovely time with Erin on her birthday yesterday. I can't think of any friend I've ever had where we could sit and talk for HOURS and never run out of things to say. She came over for lunch and we also enjoyed one Bloody Mary each, just one! and it was a lovely, lovely afternoon. What would I do without our wonderful mornings and afternoons together? I probably wouldn't be marking all my entries "Happy!". On the itinerary for today: Dye my hair to it's normal color (minus grey), let Fiona-bird out for some exercise, finish my work project, go to gym this afternoon. What category should this entry be in? HAPPY! of course. Posted by Pischina at May 26, 2010 5:42 AMComments
I did read P&P&Z and found it quite funny. The author took Austen's original manuscript and just inserted a plot line involving zombies. For that book, it totally works -- but I suspect you have the love the original to love the zombie-fied version. I guess folks are doing this to old classics to make them more approachable to the newer generations. I mean, it's better that people read P&P&Z instead of not reading anything at all, and who would read P&P (besides utter nerds like me) for pleasure nowadays?
