The Best Jane Austen Adaption You Probably Haven't Heard About

Screen adaptations of our favorite books are often one of the worst nightmares for any book worm. Either our favorite plot lines are left out, like the S.P.E.W in Harry Potter, or characters are entirely changed, like Ginny Weasely again, in Harry Potter. In dire moments like these, what is a book worm to do but turn to fan fiction? There is no false illusion from the get go. We know to expect a new story only loosely based on our favorite story.

For all the Jane Austen fans out there who are tired of incomplete on screen adaptions of Austen novels, I have an on screen fan fiction suggestion for you: Lost in Austen.

In a nutshell, this show is "Pride and Prejudice" meets time travel. That's right, time travel. An Austen fanatic, Amanda, who lives in present day London swaps places with Elizabeth Bennet.

Here's the cast:

1. Jemima Rooper as Amanda Price (The fangirl)

2. Elliot Cowen as Mr. Darcy

3. Gemma Arterton as Elizabeth Bennet

4. Alex Kingston as Mrs. Bennet

Yes, River Song!

4. Hugh Bonneville as Mr. Bennet.

Here's what Amanda and Elizabeth look like in their swapped reality:

Amanda in Elizabeth's world

Elizabeth in Amanda's world

BONUS: Mr. Darcy in Amanda's world

This may be the best book to television adaptation ever. Do yourself a favor and get watching already!

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
