ever_maedhrosI'm finally caught up on Downton Abbey, having watched episodes 2 and 3 today. And I am NOT okay with anything going on in Anna's storyline right now. I didn't think anything could bother me more than deaths of Sybil and Matthew--congratulations, this does. I get sympathetic trauma the way some people get sympathetic stomach pains. I can't imagine how people who actually have bad memories that can be triggered would feel about this.
On a much pleasanter note, I saw a semi-modern take on The Taming of the Shrew this evening. It was lots of fun, if a little eccentric in its execution, and I now I HAVE to see Kiss Me Kate again. :)
Also, I saw a mercifully preserved recording of a simple made-for-TV musical of Cinderella. Starring teenage Julie Andrews. I tell you, she's the MOST adorable thing I've ever seen in my life in that role. The musical itself is a pretty corny, but it's absolutely worth it, if only for baby Julie Andrews and her Fairy Trollmother. (If you watch it, you'll see why I think the godmother's a total troll having way too much fun. I got my copy with the Netflix DVD option.)
