Oy. I'm so mad. I missed the American Girl sale the weekend before last. I've lived here what, four years now? and I didn't even know they still had them! I found out about it by chance the night before, but I was sick that day and consequently slept through the entire sale the next day. Argh! And I was just thinking how much I'd like to pick up a Kirsten doll! And worst of all, my mum says to me after the sale, "Well, I thought of going myself to get you some stuff, but I didn't think you wanted anything, so I didn't!" At which point I could have torn my hair out, since I've been saying how I wanted a Kirsten doll, and extra shoes and doll accessories for when I make up my American Girl patterns. Ugh. I guess there's always next year, if by some miracle I hear about it before it happens. I'll never understand why a charity benefit sale should be such a tightly guarded secret!

Watched a French period movie the other night, Moliere. I'd never heard of it before, so I didn't know what to expect, but it was really good. Very similar to Shakespeare in Love, but more fluffy and, well, French. The whole film was beautifully shot, and very colorful, from the to-die-for costumes to the manor houses and lush countryside. I admit to having only a very vague familiarity with Moliere's plays, but even with my limited knowledge it still worked. I highly recommend it to anybody who loves a good costume comedy romp.
