My mom and I just watched Bridget Jones's Diary in preparation for the sequel, which comes out this weekend. When the movie was over, my mom set off to clean house.

Inspired by the fact that Colin Firth/Mark Darcy/Mr Darcy is adorable and everything that is wonderful, I got out my homework and popped Pride and Prejudice into the DVD player. My mom wandered in with her dustcloth, saw the DVD menu, threw the dustcloth into the air and leapt into the recliner with a surprising agility for someone who's just had a total knee replacement.

"What, you didn't want to do anything, did you?" I said, gesturing to her dustcloth.

"Not for the next five hours, I won't!"

Another triumph for distraction!

Was this the distraction of throwing rotten vegetables at the screen every time the ugly features of Mr. Firth came on screen?

No! At sighing and making declarations of love!

Love for the penguins that were ripping him limb from limb? *heart*

I love my mommy. Why do I keep leaving my lovely five hour P&P at home?

So that we may bask in the glow of Colin Firth's beauty?

Everyone must be blowing chunks, taking technicolor yawns and generally feeling quite green after seeing the revolting Mr. Firth fluff his lines in one of the B-movies they allow him to "star" in.

Nope. Looking at him with great admiration.

Ah, the hotness.

I *heart* Colin Firth. He's probably the only reason I'm going to bother watching Bridget Jone's Diary. He's ever so dreamy.

P&P- a cinematic masterpiece. Possibly one of the best fils ever. And Colin Firth- I drool at the sound of his name....
