Here is a list of all the things I have cried over this past week:
- When I spilled my tea and had to make another cup
- Every single thing I see related to Trayvon Martin
- A global warming podcast from Democracy Now
- The Discovery Channel special “Frozen Planet” when a seal tried to get away from…
Make it room for two. I’m always about one bad day away for Bellvue.
Imagine if we shared a room at Bellvue? We’d put up Robbie Williams posters.

DOWNTONIANS!!
Are you reading her recaps? Because seriously they are the best. Just a warning though - she is no fan of Edith, so if you’re pro-Edith I’d stay away (although I think her hate is hilarious and not cruel) and she is Team SybilxBranson so all should be forgiven.
(via haveyoumetmissjones)
Just a snippet of her genius and hilarious recap…
“After the explosive opening, the first metaphorical bombshell hits. Matthew, now serving for the British army, is engaged. And not to Mary. Sorry incest lovers, he’s fallen for a girl named Lavinia Swire and wants to bring her to Downton for dinner. Sad faces and dramatic music for everyone, especially the incest loving creeps. With impeccable timing, Grandma Crawley aka Professor McGonagall saves the day with one of her zingers. When it’s explained that Mary and Matthew will meet at the house because they are taking different modes of transport from London, Grandma McGonagall responds: “Well that’s a relief. I hate Greek drama. You know, where everything happens offstage.” We do too Professor, we do too. Ten points to Gryffindor.”
My friend Margaret has basically stolen my dream job (still love you Mags) and she will be writing recaps of S2 Downton Abbey! Click link to read her first post with reasons to watch S2!
Of course, Thomas has something to do with my #1 reason to watch Downton.
Miss O'Brien: A History
- O'Brien (age 7): Mother, may I please have a macaroon?
- O'Brien's mother: What? Do you think you are some kind of lady or something? All posh and living in a big house on a hill? Do you think there's money in this hovel for some macaroons? Have some stew.
- O'Brien (age 9, looks up from her sewing): Mother, when I grow up, I want to marry a soldier and be a secretary.
- O'Brien's mother: Oh really? Do you think you can change your stars now, do you? You think you'll be some sort of learn-ed woman of class? You better get used to that sewing. You'll be fixin' things for the rest of your life.
- O'Brien (age 12): Mother, I don't think you should smoke.
- O'Brien's mother: Piss off. I'm smoking with my smoldering gay work husband. Someday, if you're lucky, you'll be able to find a minute from your pressing and dressing and sewing to step outside and have bitter conversations with yours.
Not a day goes by when I don’t think: “Poor Mr. Pamook” in Elizabeth McGovern’s Carol Channing voice.
Downton Abbey.
