Have you guys seen

Bridget Jones' Diary?

I just watched it and I'd forgotten how much I frickin' love that film. And yes, I realise just how much of a girl I sound right now.

But it got me thinking: when you rewatch it, there are a lot of things that seem really dated about the film. Her clothes, for instance. Or Hugh Grant's hair. But of all these, the most dated is the concept of the diary itself. If the film had been made today, Bridget would've had a blog and a Twitter account, and it just wouldn't have been the same.

But some day, our children or our children's children will be looking back on things that heavily feature Facebook or MySpace and be like, "That's seriously how you used to communicate? You didn't have hologram phone watches? How weird!"

Yeah...it just occurred to me how fleeting the latest pop culture or online fad is, but still we get all caught up in having the newest thing when it'll probably be hopelessly passe in the next few months - weeks, even.

Anyway, after being all deep and stuff (because that's deep for me), I realised that I suspect that I will grow up to be like Bridget. Not a smoker, hopefully. But not a great cook, prone to making a fool of myself in social situations, a habit for falling for completely the wrong person...yep, I am just Bridget Jones fifteen years earlier. And that is a pretty depressing thought.

But if I can have Hugh Grant and Colin Firth throwing themselves through restaurant windows for me, who am I to complain?

So...yeah...this was a pointless blog.

Tell me something interesting in the comments. I don't care what it is, but something I probably didn't know before.

Bye
