What a wallow

[wojelah]

I have spent this weekend in a wallow of the sort I haven't indulged in for an age, but instead of being a hormonal pity party, I passed through that valley and came out the other side into sheer ridiculous enjoyment of Gothic novels, Jane Austen, and men in well-fitted trousers. (This despite working from home today.)

You should take a look at Dunnett's Lymond series. It's books, not TV, but I think it would be right up your alley. Oh, and the Anthony Andrews/Jeremy Irons version of Brideshead Revisited. Luscious, just luscious...

I LOVE LYMOND. Which is kurayami_hime's fault, but I can add you to the list of blameworthy recommenders. I may have to find a good narrator for that series and audiobook that too,

And okay, I now have viewing plans for next weekend. I do love me some Jeremy Irons....

The woman who gave my the Lymond Chronicles (as a high school graduation present) told me "Francis Crawford will ruin you for other men." AND SHE WAS RIGHT.

I admit, I had already been ruined by Messrs. Darcy, Rochester, and Knightley, because I did not come to Lymond until law school, but he may have saved second year law school for me. Which makes him, truly, a shining paragon among men.

I'm . . . sorry?

No, wait. If an apology is in the form of a question, I don't really mean it.

TEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE.

Ahem.

Carry on.

I feel like there are so, so many things to which this comment could apply; Lymond is only the TIP of that iceberg. :D
