I've been brushing up my Shakespeare in preparation for RADA -- the more obscure histories, of course, being the bits that need the most brushing. And now I'm watching this really excellent A&E miniseries on Charles II (a king whose reign I remember finding really fascinating when we studied him in high school).
In the middle of all of these super-stressful packing and shipping arrangements, I have this lovely warm vision of walking into a bookstore in London and asking for a really good book of British history, heavy on the kings and queens, full of colorful detail. If I just keep thinking about that, maybe it'll be easier to get through all of this rubbish.
