EXCEPT NOT.
This has nothing to do with traveling, but whatever. I'm pretty much all packed, printing out airport maps, and watching the BBC version of Jane Eyre. It's fantastic. Mr. Rochester is a beautiful creature who broods like a very broody thing from the... planet of Brood or something, I don't know. This is the first time I've watched any version of Jane Eyre all the way through (I start playing video games by the time Liz Taylor dies in the first), and so it is time for some long-delayed venting.
SERIOUSLY, MR. ROCHESTER. SERIOUSLY?
and then a hint of this:
SERIOUSLY, JANE. SERIOUSLY?
In other news, everything I am wearing today is velour-ish because apparently the only things I haven't packed are velour.
You needed to know any of this.
OMG THAT IS MY FAVORITE VERSION OF JANE EYRE EVER. And I'm not just saying that because it's also the only version I've ever seen. I'm very picky about my adaptations, but they nailed it. Rochester is the sexiest, broodiest creature ever. And the "do you think I am an automaton" scene? In the words of the Ninth Doctor, FANTASTIC.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I assume you'll have reached Finland by the time you read this, so *waves from across the pond*! Hope the rest of your trip went well!
