RUPERT PENRY JONES wins the vote...now, about getting a copy of Persuasion....
had a look at ABC shop and guess, they don't stock them anymore..good grief! will have to source from BBC UK.
Jane Austen Book Club
Ha! I coaxed hubby to stay with the kids tonight so I can go see it. I actually caught a glimpse of the show on Royal Brunei en-route Perth back from our holiday. Didn't get to catch the full show as i had, then, just finished watching "Stardust" - another charming film.
anyway, with a celebrity-lined cast, shouldn't be too bad a show to watch. Curious to see how hugh dancy's character ends in this show - does he end up with maria bello's character or what??
and loved emily blunt's character...so true to her name - such a prude!

Persuaded
golly! after a long search on the internet (and on land!!) i have found "Persuasion" - the one with amanda root and ciaran hinds. apparently this is the best adaption of Persuasion so far. the reviews are very positive BUT i feel persuaded towards rupert penry jones as captain wentworth. what to do? what to do?
in other news, i am upgrading Mr. Darcy to a DVD and if funds permit, also would like to upgrade Mr. Ferrars.
the best thing is, even though the source is BBC UK, it is a region 4! woo hoo! actually, i shouldn't really be too ecstatic at this stage for i have merely SOURCED them...not purchased....yet!

procrastination
don't you loathe that rotten feel of just having procrastinated? it leaves you hallow, riddled with guilt and feeling absolutely useless - like thrash. it eats at you like a bad dream really gone ghastly! you persuade yourself that urgent thing needed to be attended to is not all that important anyway and tomorrow, bless you heart, is just around the bend. so you trudge through another day of precisely, doing nothing.
hmm....
hmm....
My babies
get screamed at alot these days. their mommy is morphing into this ugly monster that's out to squelch their daily fun and happiness! perth's scorching summer heat, does not help in anyway, shape or form! everything is distinctively irritating!
yet, i love them to bits. wouldn't trade them for all the gold in the world. it is they who taught me what it means to live beyond myself - to have my heart live outside of me. they taught me that all my successes and achievement in the world, remains inconsequential to the smiles they bring. it is they who awarded me that ever so distinguished title of MOM. i wear that title and carry my medals, those flabby tummy , tuck-shop-lady arms and a now pear-shaped 60kg body, with pride.
i digress...
my princess is everything gorgeous and her vivacity so infectious. she, to the horror of her dad, gets louder and boisterous as the weeks progress! she's a feistly little thing, always trying to out-do her more brother. she's beautiful and oh, so captivating!
my son, never ceases to amaze me. his brilliance and maturity is astounding that i tend to overlook that he's only a 6 year old going on 7 next month! being the smart chap he is, i often expect more from him then, i suspect, any other mother of 6 year olds! he's lovely and disarming prossessing the kindest of hearts.
hence my quandary; how do you mother these kids without turning into a modern day Cruella De Vil. yes, i know the answer - patience, prayer, kindness, more patience, more prayer, gentleness, a little more patience, a little more prayer.....
every morning, i ask for an extra measure of patience from god, to handle my preciousness for the day..but at nights end, feeling absolutely rotten for i have failed, yet again to be patient and kind to them....
i love them though and i know THAT counts.
