Ugh.

I seem to have picked up either some mild food poisoning or some sort of intestinal bug, but today is unpleasant. I think life is conspiring against me. Either that or my body is trying to rid itself of all unpleasant associations by whatever means necessary. Ergh.

Alright, the damn movies meme.

So enough of my friends are doing the 100 movies thing that I realized I'm keeping track whenever I see a new movie, even though I haven't been writing it down. Therefore, I'm just going to write the things down and see how many I get through this year.

1. Mansfield Park

It's a BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park starring Billie Piper. This is one of two Austen books I haven't read before, so I have nothing to compare it to. I have to say, though, that it didn't do much for me. I can't really presume it's the story entirely, although I know it's not one of her best. I do think given the length that they must have cut the hell out of it. The character development strikes me as anti-climactic, the acting doesn't impress me, and no man is attractive when covered in leeches, no matter how buff. Alas, it's an Austen I cannot love.

Although, it is keeping me entertained while I procrastinate on writing yet again, so there is something to be said for it.

Oh yes, I'm feeling better. Ended up lying down for a moment and awoke three hours later.
