Heading out the door
Dec. 21st, 2004 08:12 amWe have a release date for HP Book 6. Mark your calendars for July 16, 2005 for Half Blood Prince.
While I was packing, I finished watching PBS' "Regency House Party". I'm glad I watched. I haven't enjoyed any of the previous programs in this vein, because casting always seem to pick the whiniest most annoying group they can find. This group did whine, especially the ladies, but for some reason, I didn't mind it as much. You really had a sense of the differences in status in the house from their accomodations to their leisurely activities to marching in at dinner. The chaperones were an irritating group of snobby old married women. The hostess reminded me of an old Dame Judi Dench without any of her charm, all nails on chalkboard. If you didn't do something exactly or if you crossed them, you were in for the long one. The boys were all nice British eye candy, especially Everett and Glover. Everett reminded me of Hugh Grant with his voice and mannerisms. He was in the theater so maybe it's just an English theater affectation. I did desperately want to shake some sense into Miss Hopkins sometimes, but she settled on the "better" choice in the end. This almost makes me want to read or write a Regency romance...
