It's snowing again - third time this year to have little feathery white puffs twirling and dancing down from the sky. We usually get one respectable snow per year. And sometimes they aren't even respectable, just barely decent.
Take THAT, you global warming people.
p.s. Go watch the new Emma, now. This minute. Or at least tonight, with a mug of hot chocolate, or dill pickles and cheese, or well-seasoned popcorn and Dr. Pepper. It is by far my favorite adaptation of Emma, which is by far my favorite Jane Austen. Yes, more so than Pride and Prejudice. Take me out and hang me, but it's true. Who could love Mr. Darcy when Mr. Knightly is around?
Anyway, having just finished re-reading the book, I was able to pick up on several of the details this version included which the other movies just skipped.
I do know that Emma is selfish. And snobby. And silly. And somewhat conceited.
Maybe that's why I enjoy reading about her failures and corrections and embarrassments and achievements so much. She's realistic. She has to work on her faults. And it's so wonderful to watch Mr. Knightly encourage and help her, just as every loving hero will do for less-than-perfect heroines.
So, you should definitely watch it.
