holidays and pandemics and bridgertons
Dec. 29th, 2020 05:32 pm( covid update )
( holiday update )
I'm off this whole week (the office closed down and I am not so much as even looking at my laptop) and so have had time to watch a few things. For one, I ended up binging Bridgerton, which is (I hope) not a surprise to anyone. The non-spoilery stuff is that the casting and the set design and costuming and music is all phenomenal. I know some people find the orchestral adaptations of Ariana Grande, etc, to be off-putting, but I love the energy it brings to the scenes. You put on period music and everybody yawns, but this brings out the whole clubbing/meat market aspect of the parties and balls and fetes without a single word.
( cutting for spoilery discussion, including Lady Whistledown stuff, please don't click if you don't know b/c the reveal is sublime )
Okay, I am going to see if I can make a full-tilt Milk Bar Funfetti cake for L's birthday, starting tomorrow, wish me luck! (If I manage to pull it all together, I will definitely take pictures.) Have a good rest of the halfway-out-of-time week before the new year!
