"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't like the aging up at all, and the actress is even older than 15, I think. I'm quite attached to the book.

Because books.

I didn't love the first episode. I may go back, though. (I do love the book.)

In other news, meep! [link] Cocksucker!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I haven't read the book, and I find the show very difficult to watch. I can tell it's *good* but I really don't get any enjoyment out of it, the way I did with Big Little Lies or Gone Girl.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I can't blame them for aging Amma up. This is some seriously rough content. I can't imagine a way to adequately shield a young performer.

I watched ep 3 a couple of hours ago and was very glad to have a cat seeking cuddles during the closing credits.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I started Sharp Objects today. Just 1 ep in. I am finding the volume so low it is hard to follow at times. And holy sheesh with the fan imagery and things spinning, I am dizzy from the open credits.

I don't know the books, but I am wanting creepy and this seems to be giving it to me.

The opening credits is the Missouri bootheel version of the Twin Peaks opening credits except they keep switching up the music.

Eventually? I read the book, so I can't say how long it takes to catch on if you haven't.
