Wacky thing I learned about Dame Dench the other day: She originated the role of Sally Bowles in Cabaret on the London Stage in 1968.
Wow. That's kinda awesome.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In entirely trivial news, I realized that I am one degree from Martin Freeman, and two from the Cumberbatch. (I went to drama school with a guy who was in Nightwatching with Freeman.)

The BBC has rehearsal footage from that show - it is indeed awesome.

Snow day! You know what's better than an excellent dinner? An excellent dinner where you can sleep in the next day!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Lola was obsessed with Westminster last night! She kept climbing into the chair by the television and watching the action.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister has decided to wear black for two weeks mourning Whitney Houston (she was *huge* to her in high school--popped her concert cherry, etc--kinda like I'm gonna feel if Prince dies before I do, like the musical landscape is forever changed, even if it's not like it was in your heyday). She's having difficulty already. We're very different people with very different wardrobes, let's just say. I'd be ticked at two weeks of black, because I only have one pair of black jeans and I like being able to wear them to work, but it would certainly not cause me much in the way of issues, and clashing blacks wouldn't happen until week 2, or at all if I can put grey in there for leavening.
Thing is, we don't really wear black to funerals in my family (she'll be attending a family funeral this weekend, I think), so it's a bit weird to do for someone you don't know.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ooo, Liese, that sounds delish.
Is Sue Perkins on Downton Abbey? It's so weird being constantly out of the loop on tv.

Where is the US broadcast of Downton up to? I watched all of S2 on DVD so I don't want to spoil anything.
