ok, so you actually couldn't pay me to go back to 1912 england because that society was a classest mess. all of that was wonderfully apparent in downton abbey, a new bbc/masterpiece theater 7 hour show. vanessa and jenna both loved it and although i don't usually go for costume dramas, i gave it a try and couldn't stop. there's lots of repressed lust but some actual lust. lots of hidden tension, but some actual tension and plenty of fancy outfits.
do you like stuff like that? i guess i do.

the only person who ever asks me for literary fiction at the library really really loves this show. i might like it. it all depends on what things look like to me. i can maybe get sucked in or totally repulsed. extra points if it's dark.
