The Lady of the Camellias

A thunderstorm at teatime! It cleared the air and cooled the world enough that I could in fact have tea, which was lovely. (I was organizing my tags last night, and you guys, I had not realized how much I post about tea. Which reminds me, assuming that no one falls deathly ill over night, tomorrow I am having an Oreo tea with Emma and Rick. Did you

I find the idea of watermelon oreas rather bizarre. ::shrugs:: To each his own.

I shall have to try Camilla one of these days. One of these days...

They are bizarre. They were interesting, but...not very Oreo-like.

However, one of my friends loved them, so at least someone enjoyed the bag!

I kind of want to see the Colin Firth version too. In the still in the book (the book had a selection of photos from the approximately gazillion stage and film version there have been of this story) he looked a bit odd - maybe he didn't grow into his looks till he was a bit older? - but. Colin Firth!

And I've heard of the Valentino version! I had kind of a crush on Valentino in high school, on account of a project we did about the Twenties. I never managed to see any of his movies, though. I wonder if Netflix has this one...

And I still have not seen Moulin Rouge. I tried to watch it on a plane once, but the glitz was WAY too much for the tiny airplane screen. Maybe I should rectify this...

Netflix has The Eagle! (Why are there so many films called The Eagle? Humans just like eagles, it seems.)

It also has Blood and Sand, which features Valentino in bullfighting clothes. Maybe I should have a double feature: Rudolph Valentino in Swoonworthy Clothes...
