    <content type="html">Went shopping yesterday.  Fruits include Twinings Hazelnut Chai, which is &lt;em&gt;fantastic&lt;/em&gt;.  I was a bit wary when I bought it, but it's really, really good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://icepixie.dreamwidth.org/875911.html#cutid1"&gt;Blather that's kind of boring even to me&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother suggested I watch &lt;i&gt;Downton Abbey&lt;/i&gt;.  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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Nashville&lt;/i&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ETA:&lt;/b&gt; Oooh, ABC continued its policy of releasing the pilot free on iTunes the week before the premiere!  Downloading now.  Will report back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=icepixie&amp;ditemid=875911" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
