Film: Vanity Fair
Look, Vanity Fair is a girl's film. The only reason I went to see it is that I see pretty much everything that shows at my local cinema these days.
But I'm glad I did. It's a story I didn't know at all, and - in my opinion if no-one else's - this is a good telling of it. For once it's wrong to criticise Hollywood for casting so many beautiful actors and actresses. I guess most people left the cinema having fallen in love at least once during the film, but isn't that the point of the story?
Personal
The white stuff
Today's a rare day. It's a "wish I had a Land Rover" day. I managed to get to work on my third attempt; my car couldn't get enough grip on the first two roads I tried out of town.
I don't really want a 4x4. A decent bus service to work would suffice. In fact, one probably already exists. I'm just took hooked on the flexibility of the car to look for it.
Perhaps tomorrow. Either that or I'll walk to work.
