Britain Hearts Nerdy Lit Girls

It must be true, because the Daily Mail has a new promotion where every day for the next 18 days, the paper (cost: 70p) will include a free DVD of some British costume drama. Today was the first instalment, and so the free DVD was Part 1 of the oh-so-Colin Firthalicious Pride & Prejudice. Colin Firth. In breeches. For free. OK, so I already own two copies. WHO CARES?! They're not here yet, so of course I'm gonna buy the Daily Mail and get ANOTHER copy.

And it only gets better: on deck are Emma, Vanity Fair, Bleak House, A Room With a View, Sense & Sensibility, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Jane Eyre...aieee! Dani in heaven. This may be detrimental to establishing a social life here in the UK...
