Cranford

I do believe I spent the majority of my waking hours in Cranford (based on Elizabeth Gaskell's books). :P Masterpiece Classics  (part of the old Masterpiece Theatre) started it's new season tonight with Return to Cranford, a continuation of the "Cranford" (2007 TV mini series) , starring Judi Dench. I love just about all those classic Masterpiece movies and mini series'. I'd already seen the first part last year, but there's alot of characters, so I wanted a refresher.

Masterpiece started putting up it's movies online. And while I missed the TV re-airing, I DID catch the three part (five hour) mini series at the website before they expired tonight at midnight (EST), And man did it look awesome on my new screen! And considering I watched two of the parts (three hours total) right after each other with several pauses, I am happy to say my baby didn't get laggy at any point! :D

At 2:30am, instead of hurrying to do the dishes, I watched part one (two hours). Then, after I woke and showered, I watched part two and three. I barely finished those around 6pm. And then Return to Crandford, part one (hour and a half), was on TV at 9pm. So, that's a whole LOT of time spent in Cranford. :D Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.


As I am trying to get used to Josh's camera and I liked Mellie's pic-a-day idea (yes, yes, I know ya got it from faceywaceyplace), I think I'll put up at least one pic a day up, too. They may not always be interesting to everyone else, but I like them. :P

Today's:  Pixie lazing under her box. Why she likes to be under or in cardboard boxes I don't know. But she does it all the time. When she runs out from under it too quickly, it falls (well her big butt probably taps it and makes it fall :P ). So, Mom and I will prop it up for her every now and then. The secod her "cave" is ready, she runs underneath it. :P My little weirdo.
