Well, you can't say I didn't warn you. I even put it in the title. I told you that this could become a craphole. And it's been awhile since I've made a quality post. Last night's visual pun doesn't count. Even though it's a very nice picture of a fence post, it's not a post. This is an attempt.
Right now I'm watching the final moments of a miniseries called Downton Abbey. It's set in England pre-WWI. The clothes are fabulous, the millinery is fabulous. (btw, I spelled millinery right on the first try) They're just getting things like electricity and telephones. And it's full of awesome things like Maggie Smith saying "Stick that in your pipe an smoke it." And it just ended with the line "We are at war with Germany." And that's the end of the whole 7 episode arc. Ugh.
It's like the entire series was a build up to this moment, and while Ellen and Sarah had warned me that not everything got resolved, they didn't tell me that NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. The sad middle sister got fucked over by her vindictive awful older sister who also did not get her happy ending. The only people who got what they wanted were some of the servants. Which is awesome.
Now I'm watching this horrible scifi thing called Lexx. I remember catching some of it super late at night on the old Sci Fi channel and thinking I was hallucinating. It's just so weird. It's like, seriously odd.
Anyway, I think this is all I'm going to say for now. Maybe next time I'll have something more coherent for you.
Here's to hoping.
