Apart from some tortuous reading for Torts, my Valentine's Day was very enjoyable. I'd made plans yesterday to watch a movie tonight with a few friends. A few hours ago we impulsively decided to start watching the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice. The movie was originally a mini-series and it's broken into six forty-minute segments, so we just finished it a few minutes ago. It might've been a typical "we don't have boyfriends so we're going to stay up late watching a girly movie" way of spending Valentine's Day, but it was also very fun. P&P viewings, which are rare because of its length, are almost always a good time. They're especially enjoyable with people who properly appreciate the intricacies of the book, the film, and of course, Colin Firth's portrayal of Mr. Darcy.

I also had another fun job interview this afternoon. I've lost any ability I ever had to actually gauge my chances of actually getting the job, but I had a great conversation with my interviewer. It turned out that we have very similar views on law and public policy. Even if I don't get the job, it was a productive half-hour.
