I hated looking for a job this time last year. I applied so many places and i nothing happened and i was so frustrated. Then my mom told me to go apply at the grocery store where i work now, but i didnt even want to because i had it in my head i wasnt gunna get a job anywhere, then a few days later i reluctantly went and they called me back 2 days later to get an interview, which really was ok you are starting thursday if you still want the job.

 

It turned out i picked the perfect time to go because someone got fired the day before i applied.

One area you should all check for part time summer help are smaller businesses. You will probably have a better chance to learn something and the pay might be about the same. Think of something you would be interested in, search through the phone book, and call the owner. Tell him you search for someone doing XYZ, it sounded interesting, and you would like a job for the summer.

Seriously, how many adaptations of Pride and Prejudice can there possibly be? Do we really need another one?

 

There are a million or so other great books that would be just as good (if not better) movies.

Is P&P royalty free at this point?

Hmmmm, maybe?

 

But persuasion is a better novel anyway, I don't understand this obsession with P & P, I like Jane Austen more than most, but it's too much....

Pride has been on so many mandatory reading lists, there is a built in familiarity with the work that I guess attracts movie producers.

 

I think that certain books have a specific time and place to be made. The Lord of the Rings is the best example I can think of. Earlier and the movie technology would not have done the book justice.

I know, it's awful. My only explanation is that it reminds me of my carefree junior high days.....

Like you haven't sang "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a gooooooood wife you would be" at full volume.

 

Soxy, climb right back on that pedestal with your guilty pleasure.

OK, guilty secret: I do love that song. It's a nautical thing I guess.

here's a port on a western bay

And it serves a hundred ships a day

Lonely sailors pass the time away

And talk about their homes

 

And there's a girl in this harbor town

And she works layin' whiskey down

They say "Brandy, fetch another round"

She serves them whiskey and wine

 

The sailors say "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

Brandy wears a braided chain

Made of finest silver from the North of Spain

A locket that bears the name

Of the man that Brandy loves

 

He came on a summer's day

Bringin' gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldn't stay

No harbor was his home

 

The sailor said " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

When he told his sailor stories

She could feel the ocean foam rise

She saw its ragin' glory

But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man

And Brandy does her best to understand

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

At night when the bars close down

Brandy walks through a silent town

And loves a man who's not around

She still can hear him say

 

She hears him say " Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

 

"Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)

FADE

 

"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)

"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
