A lovely late summer ramble

I just thought I would let you all (by all I mean three) know that there is actually someone who is named Coral Beed. Oh yes. I found this in a roundabout fashion-- I was mocking Mischa Barton's outfits on Go Fug Yourself, I was reminded that she had been filming The Decameron in Italy with none other than Hayden Christiansen, and knowing that this will guarantee this film to be the most lifeless (get it-- lifeless, plague? Do you like my puns? I do) creation ever, I thought I could push on that painful loose tooth by finding out more. Anyway, Coral Beed (ah, HA! What is wrong with this girl's parents? With a last name like Beed they had to go and call her Coral? She couldn't have been christened Anna, or Emily, or even Ethel, for God's sake?) will be playing the character of Mona, which seems a step up from a previous role as 'Tanya's Priestess' in the no doubt exceptional Preaching to the Perverted.

Also of note is a rather incongruous combination I have discovered in my busy schedule of listening to Classic fm continually when I am at home (seriously, I leave it when I nap, even, and I think the fact that I turn it off at night may be part of the reason that I have had trouble falling asleep at night. Either that or the three-to-six-hour naps I ahve been taking every couple days). The kind folk at Classic fm are doing some free screenings of the new Pride & Prejudice film, which sounds nice, though I have my doubts about Keira Knightley, and about the whole production managing to fill the pretty hefty boots of the rather excellent BBC series which famously starred Colin Firth. Interestingly enough, the theatre they have selected in Edinburgh is the UCI, which as far as I know is out in Kinnaird Park. Which again, as far as I can tell, is in Burberry-Land. Now, at the risk of making sweeping socio-economic generalisations, do you think that the NEDs either are particularly interested in seeing this film, or have been listening to Classic FM enough to realise that they can go to the preview of said film? I don't, but that may just be further proof of my ignorance.

And that is pretty much all I have to say. Really, I seem to have lost my blogging vibe. And I think I have pretty much given up on writing any sort of coherent posts. Granted, maybe if someone else offered to finish re-writing my thesis for the one-zillionth time for me I could go back to a) writing things properly, and b) having a will to live. Also, the Nazis at the National Library have continued in their fascist crackdown, and so I can't access Blogger there anymore, which does not contribute in any sort of positive way to my abilities. And I am hungry. So there.
