Feb. 12th, 2013 12:08 pmgood morning dw/lj! It's shaping up to be a hell of a week, what with JT and his suit at the Grammys, and then the Pope resigning/SPN getting renewed yesterday, Fat Tuesday today, Ash Wednesday segueing into with Valentine's Day, and a nice, close meteor fly-by this coming weekend. I think that's probably quite enough for one week.
I spent the weekend decluttering the great room, which is where all the living takes place around here and is thus correspondingly piled with junk. I will only say that OMG, we have a LOT of books in this house. Also, many gazillion legos. While de-junking, I ended up re-watching the most recent BBC adaptation of Austen's Persuasion, the one with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry-Jones as Anne/Wentworth and amid the cutting and reworking that inevitably happens in an adaptation I found myself especially fond of ( I guess I should cut for spoilers? ) I really like this adaptation; Sally Hawkins plays Anne as sad but not a doormat, and Rupert Penry-Jones fits my mental image of a naval war hero splendidly.
I also re-watched Bottle Shock (I'm reading lots of non-fiction about wine and decided to reward my due diligence with Chris Pine in tight-tight jeans, /shallow) and came away with my usual hankering for some Bo/Gustavo. Someday, I'll get tired of not finding any and just write it myself, but I have too ridiculously many stories started in g-docs now. I (probably) don't need another one, right? (yeah, don't answer that.)
On the RL front, I would like to update the Things They Never Tell You About Parenthood with no one ever telling me that you can end up with ranking Shakespeare by a Swordfight Index (which means that Romeo & Juliet is right up there with Hamlet and Henry IV and Richard III as plays your 12-year-old wants to act in. Who knew?)
