Flickering Sound Waves

Jose here.

Bridget Jones was born on a day like today. She's the chubby, British spinster we all love to watch but fear to become: neurotic, obsessive, insecure and very, very unlucky.
Do you remember how she spent her birthday in 2001?


Oh joy! I am broadcasting genius, celebrating by cooking birthday feast for close friends. I have a sneaking suspicion I'm also something of genius in the kitchen as well!


Coming from a great day at work she decided to cook for her friends. Is it normal for the birthday girl to cook her own party food?


String soup?


Bridget was obviously not as genius as she thought...


But ah, she has the perfect savior in the shape of good ole booze.


That is until the perfect savior comes along in the shape of Mr. Darcy (Gotta love how Colin Firth pulls off those white shirts...)


Judging by the guests' faces the dinner was far from scrumptious.


But still she deserves a toast!

To Bridget who can not cook but who we love just as she is...


And boy how we do!

Ah, can you believe it's been almost ten years since this movie was released? Has Renée Zellweger ever been as lovable again? What would you give Bridget for her birthday?
