As I was waiting for my 8.30 show ...that's "Men in Trees" for those non-tv addicts out there...I caught the movie "Pride and Prejudice" and it so happened that Mr Darcy was trying to start a conversation (a civil one that is) with Elizabeth Bennett during her painful-to-watch-but-was-forced-by-Lady-Catherine piano scene...and Elizabeth retorted that Darcy should himself practice the art of making small talk (or something along those lines!)..to which he tried the following day but failed miserably!
And that was when it hit me!
See no matter how many times I've already seen the movie (yes, I've learnt to accept Matthew MacFayden..though you are miles away from Colin 'swoooooon' Firth), I thought that was such a poignant scene especially when we all know how arrogant and pompous Darcy was in the beginning...yet there he was..probably trying hard not to pee in his pants but most importantly trying oh-so-hard to impress this girl whom he was madly in love with!
On a more superficial yet lighter note, the heartbroken look Daniel Meade had when he got into the lift got me going "I'm here! I'm here for you Daniel! Look at me!!!"
Hey a girl can dream ..can't she?
