packing
I leave for the Bay Area today! Woot.
My plane was supposed to leave at 4:10 and I started packing at around 1:00 while at the same time watching the new Pride & Prejudice.


I love both versions. But I definitely think the actors in this one are better looking. Esp. Jane, Elizabeth, Miss Bingley and Mr. Bingley.
