Stuff and things
Oct. 7th, 2012 10:32 amWent shopping yesterday. Fruits include Twinings Hazelnut Chai, which is fantastic. I was a bit wary when I bought it, but it's really, really good.
( Blather that's kind of boring even to me )

My mother suggested I watch Downton Abbey. Flist, you know me; do you think I'd like it? I do love that time period, but BBC costume dramas can be very hit or miss for me. Also, I will cop to being a bit of a snob about Modernism, and I tend to think the people writing during the period did it much better than people today who try to write about the shattering changes of the early twentieth century.
Nashville premieres on Wednesday. I plan to watch, possibly muting the musical numbers, because I want to see how they present the city and where they chose to film. Also, I approve of there being two female leads, and it looks like they'll avoid it being All Catty All The Time, at least.
ETA: Oooh, ABC continued its policy of releasing the pilot free on iTunes the week before the premiere! Downloading now. Will report back.

I still have to write most of you who gave me comments on my space pilots novella. I swear, if not this weekend, then by Wednesday. Short version: it looks like I'm going to expand it into a real live novel, which will probably address most of y'all's concerns about the pacing.
