Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, I'm not saying the Masterpiece "Great Expectations" is necessarily worth watching, but if you enjoy the sight of a pillowy-lipped young man being taught to dance by another young man, you might might watch the beginning of the second hour. IJS.

I mean, also Gillian Anderson.

Because books.

It's 87 or something ridiculous here. ::fans self::

I didn't know Gillian Anderson was Great Expectations! I knew about House of Mirth and Bleak House, though.

I miss Gillian Anderson.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Went to see Cabin in the Woods; Gave a urine sample for a drug test;

These two things in a row made me laugh heartily.

PiBaby is DARLING!

20K of plumbing?! HO. LEE. SHIT.

Just got back from grocery store. I have been rockin' productivity like a rockin' thing today, so I am pretty happy about that.

Also, I am doing a series of guest blog posts for a local KC company, so I'm pretty jazzed -- the first post went up today: [link]

I'm finishing up and will soon email my interview questions for Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant. OMG FUN!!! But I have to pare it down. SO MANY POSSIBLE QUESTIONS.

Now if I can just manage that, putting up and finishing the loads of laundry I have in and a shower, I will be able to go to sleep happy. Oh, and Eureka tonight!

She is a fully wackadoo Miss Havisham. It should be streaming on pbs.org.

NO WAY. Oh, I have to see that.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

These two things in a row made me laugh heartily.

Well, the shopping came between them briefly. I had to shop quickly because I had drunk a bottle of water during the movie in anticipation of the test.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wait, Gillian Anderson is old enough to play Miss Havisham?

And if the pillowy-lipped young man has INCREDIBLE bone structure and the young man teaching him was in a Dr.Who 2-parter that you quite enjoyed? Even better.

t /cleared some backed-up Masterpiece from my DVR this weekend.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Also playing Miss Havisham: Helena Bonham Carter. Maybe between the two performances, the common impression of the character will shift from the very elderly old-movie versions back toward Dickens's 50-ish?
