I just watched the third ep and was coming here to burble before watching last nights!
I am loving it sooo much.
I'm teaching "A Room of One's Own" and showing "Iron Jawed Angels" in conjunction with it to examine whether or not the vote or financial independence was more important to women's independence, and if I thought any of my students would watch it, I would offer massive extra credit to anyone who watched DA. It's highlighting some of the issued so well!
And it turns out my sister pissed of Nadine months ago and was scared to tell me about it. Hmmph.
"Iron Jawed Angels"
God, I loved that. Mostly for the clothes, but also for Molly Parker.
Oh, I think Mary
started it when they hit puberty. She was always so awful to the sister! I actually really like that both of them had good and bad moments.
I'm sure they always had a horrific rivalry going on. But
taking it out in public was a big step, and didn't middle sister challenge Mary over something?
It does kind of seem like Mary
took away Edith's one shot at happiness, but Edith's letter had such a widespread effect. They were both so mean and so wronged.
I was glad that
the dowager came down in favor of moving bodies for your daughter, and that O'Brien's conscience got to her, even if it was too late
Everyone, stay safe and warm! And if you even think you might lose power, I recommend taking a shower and doing your dishes. From painful experience.
smonster is here, and she brought me flowers, a card, dinner, groceries, a hug from her sister, and cookies! I gave her Lulu's toys for Frankie, and her leftover Pill Pockets. Also, she's going to bring all of Lulu's cans of dog food to the local doggie boutique for their donation bin.
Combine that with the pizza Calli brought me last night when she came by to say goodbye to Lulu, and the Aranciata my neighbor A. brought when she came by to do the same (plus my Xanax and Ambien) and I'm SET.
Everyone, just move to NC. It's really the only answer. We may not have everything, but we have (mostly) good weather.
I think I have older sister issues that tie into my reading of Downton Abbey. But, honestly, only the youngest was a decent human being.
