Oh...

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

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

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?

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!
