My GOD, I love England. My wallet does not, really, but I do. SO MUCH.

Where else do you walk into a second hand book/music/movie store and see Helen Mirren films piled on top of each other? On top of a Miranda movie? Where? Because if there is somewhere else, other than Heaven, I want to know about it.

One of the Helen movies was Caligula, which is euw, and the other was The Mosquito Coast, which I know her part is fairly small in and so did not buy, but that's beside the point.

I bought 'Cymbeline' on DVD (yay, I hope - Helen is worth the time spent figuring out what the language is about *grin*) and an unauthorised biography of Alan Rickman. I bought the afformentioned Miranda video (she looked ever so lovely on the cover and I couldn't resist). It's called 'A Dance To The Music Of Time' which is apparently an epic literary masterpiece (*hasn't heard of it, but isn't overly suprised by this*) and goes for 415 minutes. It says it has over 100 characters, so I hope she gets some good screen time. The fact that she's on the cover suggests she might. I hope so.

Has anyone else seen it? Did you like it?

I don't have a VCR, so that's going to make it a little hard to watch, but I'm hoping I can find someone else who DOES have one and wants to watch, or maybe that the library has AV rooms, and I can sneak into one with it and watch :).

Anyway, yes. I LOVE England. Toys R Us Norwich didn't need anyone, so *sad* about that, because I'm like, trained, yo, but I guess I can do some other work instead. I might have to start applying for some jobs, though, since I don't think one is going to fall into my lap.

I ♥ England too. Hee.

Oh, Cymbeline. I had to read that last year for a class. I really wish I could remember what it's about. I think there were Romans in Britain and a king and long lost sons and his wife was kind of a bitch.

Of course king+bitchy queen+offspring issues could describe about half of Shakespeare's plays. XD

We still have to meet up for a coffee or something. How stupid would it be to go home in six months and know we've probably been within a few hundred metres of each other and never said hi? *smile*

I have a free hour tomorrow from 11-12 when I really would not like to be tempted back to my room. If you have one, and all. I know no one would be out of bed and on campus at 11am unless they had to be ;).

Well, if you're desperately stuck for a video player, you could hop on the quick ferry to Dublin and you can use ours. :)

Btw, do you use chat? I'd love to chat to you. If you do, my AIM is severusyesohyes, YIM goat_with_a_breadknife and MSN feather_quill_writer_girl@hotmail.com

I uh have MSN. I suppose it is possible I could turn it on sometimes. :)

Seriously, if you do decide on a trip to our soggy green isle, I'll happily buy you a coffee, or sell you into the white slave trade or something. ;)

I'll add you to my contacts now. You'll be able to add me then, right?

I'm glad you love England =) I love it too!

How are you enjoying UEA? I can't believe I'm in my last year here. I'm going to miss it so much.

What classes are you taking?

I'm doing creative writing, practical journalism and politics in mass media. Do you live on campus? I'm in the Village.

I lived in the village in my first year - Courtyard A.

I now live off unthank road

How are your classes going? They sound pretty interesting

Really? I'm in courtyard A too! Flat 14, for me.

I'm loving them, really - though the media lecturer seems to say the same thing over and over again. What do you study?

Hmm, I've heard of Cymbeline...I just don't know where I've heard of it! :p

A new job is on my to-do list as well :s I'm off to Bangor university's JobsMart thingy tomorrow, hopefully I'll find something. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too!

It's Shakespeare :).

Bangor? In North Wales (looked at your userinfo when you said that)? Interesting. There is a place called Bangor in Australia. It's out bush someplace *waves hand in an entirely non-geographically-savvy person*

It's a pretty good film. Miranda totally rocks in it. She's not in it for i think the first episode (it should be split into 4), but she totally steals the show when she does. Her character is troubled, a total cow at times, but amusing. Randa gets in a lot of little quirks that make her so much richer. It's well worth the watch if you can find a VCR.

I also belive that Zoe Wanamaker is in it briefly.

Ahh! Yes! Shakey!

Hee hee! Yes, Bangor in North Wales. There are Bangors all over the world, allegedly all settled by Irish migrants!

Really? What country? I never thought I'd miss it - the workplace agreement in Aus is rather sucky - but our store is small, and everyone knows each other and most of us are friends. So I miss the poeple, really.

In England actually. In contrast, the store I worked in was absolutely massive. But the people there were nice.. Apart from the managers.
