Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I want to talk about Grantchester!
Also the fact that my mother told the gardening guy that we could be there to look at plants at 8am on Saturday.
In other news, I'm super, super bummed that the weather in Calistoga is 90 and sunny now and is supposed to be rainy and in the 50s/60s when we're there this weekend (i.e., the SAME FREAKING WEATHER WE'VE HAD HERE ALL SPRING). Argh! Stupid weather!
Ooh, that is a bummer.
I want to share something from tumblr here, but I can't figure out how to link to it!
Sunday is supposedly clear skies and 70s
That's a little better, for sure! I can't REALLY complain as we'll be there with fun people (celebrating my best friend's 50th bday) and we're getting massages and hot mud baths. But I was really hoping for hot and sunny.
Also, I just can't get over how James Norton plays both of those roles (Grantchester and Happy Valley)!
I keep hearing how Happy Valley is great, but difficult to watch? I don't need that in my life.
Where do we talk about Grantchester? I have trouble dissociating actors with the first role I see them in--James Norton was a horrible murderer (well actually he was quite an effective murderer, but a horrible person) on Happy Valley, and it took me some time to overcome my distrust of him as Grantchester. Likewise, I will ever love Dr. Tony Hill (Wire in the Blood), and therefore Robson Green.
I got confused because I watched the behind the scenes for Grantchester before I knew James Norton's name. I thought they were saying James Naughton, and then I thought that Robson Green must be James Naughton just looking weird. I didn't figure it out until Happy Valley.
Happy Valley is great--but yeah, difficult to watch.
Playing It's That Guy! with British actors is even more fun than Canadian Actor Bingo.
The primary character in Happy Valley was Caroline in Last Tango in Halifax. And her character's sister is Siobhan Finneran, who's been in everything, but I last saw her as Mrs. O'Brien in first season Downton Abbey.
Um, tangent, sorry?
I think unfriending or unfollowing is probably better than engaging, esp if engaging means a fight.
All I want to do is fight, but I know that's shitty and unproductive. So I'm hiding people to prevent me from getting bitchy at them.
-t, I am your fellow crown-needer. I went to the dentist for a cleaning just now, and it turns out that I broke a tooth and didn't even know it. Sheesh. So, I have a crown in my future. Teeth are stupid. But I like having them.
Gorgeous day today, though, and my dentist is in our neighborhood, so I walked up there and then to the library. I am living 8-year-old Steph's dream.
