Apr. 23rd, 2004 10:26 pmWhy am I the only one online? Oh, wait, that's right! I'm the only one without a social life.
Of course, that means that I have lots of free time to do things such as read all of "Princess in Waiting." I did enjoy it quite a bit, but some parts kept bothering me.
First, the fact that "Jane Eyre" was used as an example of how to play mind games with your lover. I know that everybody who reads a book gets a different impression from it, but I think you'd have try pretty hard to get that out of it. I don't think running away from a marriage to a man who already has a wife constitutes playing hard to get. By the same token, being proposed to by your cousin doesn't really strike me as an attempt to make your old flame jealous.
Second thing that bugged me... Oh, that Ioan Gruffudd's name was misspelled. At least he made the cut on their cute guys list, though.
Finally, Michael bugs me. He is too perfect and it is just not fair. I have played the awkward and out-of-place teenager long enough; it is time for the climax of the film, during which I discover Mister Gorgeous whom I have been secretly crushing on has secretly been crushing on me. Not that I have a Mister Gorgeous in my life. But I should. Life imitating art and whatnot. Anyway.
Am I the only one who would like to see Mia/Rene? If only because I have a thing for guys who are named Rene?
Oh, and I just thought of something else that bothered me. There is no way that Michael could have "Star Wars" DVDs. I suppose you could argue that the story could take place in the near future and the DVDs have already been released, but then again if Michael was a hardcore fan with convictions (and of course he has convictions) he would probably be boycotting because aren't they only putting out the special edition on DVD?
Please remind me again why I am alone on a Friday night...
