Day 16

Literati was a decent game today. It was close and kept within a few points most of the game. I did eventually take the win. My opponent was not a good sport sadly. Here is the board:

As far as today's movie. I am going to blame me not feeling up to par for it... LOL It was to be Pride and Prejudice: After searching I could not find a trailer that fit this... I watched the 1980's version. The trailer I found was for 2005 and was too comical. Perhaps I should have found that version instead....

Of course it is based upon the classic novel. It is set in a time where to marry wealth was the best you could do for your family.

It is a complete sleeper for the first few hours. I did find it picked up in the last 2 parts or disc 2.

Five daughters the family was blessed with, perhaps even cursed. Five daughters that would need a husband. A wealthy man moves to the neighborhood so of course they attempt a connection to the oldest daughter respectfully. Jane falls for him and he for her. Though they are not of supreme wealth and his friend fears her intentions only for money so without his total knowledge persuades him to move on.

Elizabeth the second oldest gets a few offers for marriage that she actually turns away including one from her cousin that could save their home in the event of their father's death. She is the main character and the most outspoken of the 5.

Then we have the 3 younger sisters. Two love to catch glimpses of the military men and are spoken about for this. They prance in front of them like show dogs in a contest. The other is a book worm.

Elizabeth in a sense is the glue for the family I think. She has a strong love and respect for her family and would never do them harm in her behavior, actions or words. Her eldest sister off to meet the wealthy man falls to a chill. Knowing this in the rain Elizabeth walks 3miles to be with her. She feels shunned by the people there, as if she is unworthy.

Elizabeth meets a Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy is extremely wealthy and rubs off as a jerk to many. He listens and observes more than he speaks much like Elizabeth. His wealth causes him to be cautious to all. He and Elizabeth wind up crossing paths very often even have a hatred of each other. That is until they each see the others point of view.

I really feel that it is very long and drawn out. This was a 5 hour movie I truly believe they could have gotten the same point across with less boredom within 2-3 hours. The story is a classic no doubt of the pride of ones status and prejudice each station has towards one of another station. A world where beauty, grace, money, and talent will get you further than money alone. Even the ugly if wealthy enough have a chance over a pure beauty with nothing.

As far as IMVU I made a pie display for today. Even fixed a couple of old products. I just need to get some pics of the ones I recreated to hopefully sell better than the ones that were hidden. I will add pictures of the old projects recreated as I put them up. Here is today's:


See you tomorrow with "Q"
