Guess who I saw...

Okay so this isn't an update like I promised, but guess who I saw at the Mackintosh House Museum today???

Rosamund Pike and Robie Uniacke


If you don't know the significance of this, go watch the Keira Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice.


She's Jane! She's also been in a James Bond movie and some other ones recently. Her boyfriend is about 20 years older than her and used to be a drug addict apparently. Before I  realized who it was I wondered if he was her dad!

Here's the story. After class I went to a special exhibit at the Huntarian Museum, which is part of the University of Glasgow. The exhibit is a replica of the house of the famous designer, Charles Mackintosh and his wife (also a famous designer) Margaret Mackintosh. You have to sign up for a tour of the house beforehand and only about 12 people are allowed in the group. At the beginning of the tour I didn't even notice her, but then she asked the guide a question and I could tell she was British. I started watching her and all her mannerisms were the exact same as Jane's and that's when I figured it out! I didn't talk to her or anything, but I walked around with a famous actress for about an hour! I'd call that a successful day in Scotland.

  1. How cool is that?! I love her... although her choice in men is quite disappointing.
