Emma on the Silver Screen

So one of my favourite pick me up novels is being made into a movie! I am so bleedin excited its silly! "Can You Keep A Secret" is a book I happened upon a couple of years ago on a lay over at Dubai International. I had a 14 hour layover so a book or two was imperative, Lol. Anyway I picked up this book and read the back and the first page or so in the bookstore and fell in love. I read the entire thing during my layover and Sophie Kinsella fast became one of my favourite authors ever.

Its a silly little book that is really hilarious and very Bridget Jones-y and I am so chuffed its being made a movie. I can't wait. I did read somewhere that Kate Hudson would be playing the main character Emma Corrigan and I am not sure how I feel about that yet. I imagined some unknown British actress doing the part but I suppose it could be another Bridget Jones ey? I dunno, I hope it will be fab like the book. But who knows ey?

I think I might go dig it up and re-read it just to lift my spirits a bit. That and Bridget Jones always seems to make me feel loads better about myself for a little while because it is just not depressing. It's pure humour that takes the focus off my morbid existence and shifts it onto some silly character getting into loads of rubbish.

Clark phoned me last night. It was so out of the blue and unexpected really. I was thinking about him and how I missed friends and things and he just rang me out of nowhere and he said he called just to say he loved me. I was touched. I suppose God is listening up there and He sent me a message through a friend. I was grateful and it made getting up this morning a little easier I think.

I am so excited about this movie and its only just in preproduction, lol. Ugh! Ok, steady on. Honestly, the little things I get excited over. And I am meant to be a grown up again.
