Now reading: The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett - One of my great obsessions is medieval England, so the modern classic The Pillars of the Earth has been on my radar for several years. I watched the mini-series last year and absolutely loved it, although I tended to yell at the TV every time that the true historical account of The Anarchy was changed to suit Follett's plot. I started reading the book a couple of days ago, and I must admit, I can't put it down. Despite the fact that he's yet another author who changes history on a whim, I can't deny that Follett is a masterful storyteller when employing his own characters.
Now watching: Miranda - One week ago, I had never heard of the TV show Miranda or its creator and star, Miranda Hart. Now, it's one of my top ten favorite Britcoms (mental note: top ten list would make a great blog post). I watched all twelve episodes of its two seasons in three days, and I'm going through such terrible withdrawals that I will probably watch it again next week. Oh all right, I admit it...I'm madly in love with Gary (played by the adorable Tom Ellis) and want to see him again.
Can you blame a girl?
Now listening to: "Proud" by Heather Small - This song is one of the running jokes in Miranda, but it's actually legitimately good!
