I am a drama/history major with a french minor. I am generally interested in the world and studying things. I love traveling and my friends and family. I am a history, literature/theatre nerd and a self proclaimed Dramaturge. I love The Muppets, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Period Dramas, Doctor Who, Old British TV shows, Masterpiece/Mystery, The French Revolution, hiking in hills, old movies and food. Apparently I am going to use this as a place to post things I love and to focus things I am trying to figure out.

Rewatched some Upstairs Downstairs

In anticipation of my excellent Upstairs Downstairs/Downton Abbey critical comparison. Man, I have missed it.

VIOLET!

  • Richard: I'm leaving in the morning, Lady Grantham, I doubt we'll meet again.
  • Violet: Do you promise?
  • ...
  • Matthew: Sorry about the vase.
  • Violet: Oh don't be, don't be! It was a wedding present from a frightful aunt, I have hated it for half a century!

Tomorrow is Christmas

And while I am excited about other aspects of the day (sharing it with family, seeing baby cousin, eating food I love) I am wildly excited about Doctor Who and Downton Abbey. Is that wrong? It feels like British Television is giving me my very own much anticipated Christmas gift!

And I still have so many feelings. Sooooo many Downton feelings. Weeping on the couch. At least it’ll be back at Christmas. And Doctor Who. Is it Christmas yet?

Mr. Preston: I think some letters in my possession would make it perfectly clear to Miss Gibson that I am telling the truth
Richard Carlisle: You have given me the power to destroy you and don’t think I won’t use it.
