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.

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 ;).

I have lecture from 9-12. :/

But at some point we will see each other!
