Yay, I found my camera cord! So now you can see what I’ve been up to recently.
A little of this:
And a lot of this:
Note the Kindle. I’m not head over heels in love with it, but it did come in handy when Sailor Boy, on the next beach chair over, said “I feel like reading Snow Crash,” and five seconds later I gave it to him. Now, of course, he wants this t-shirt.
We also went sailing, but not as much as I thought we were going to.
My mom’s in town this week, so I’ve been hanging out with her, and her awesome sheepdog, Harry. (Or Uncle Harry, as we refer to him to Rio, who is his niece if you do the familial math.) Rio and Harry are the approximately the same age, and they love playing with each other. They also love each other’s food, and we spent the first half of the week devising creative ways to keep them in their own kibble bowls, and the second half of the week giving up and letting them do what they wanted.
And, because we all deserve something spectacular this weekend, I present to you Mr Greg Wise (otherwise known as Willoughby and Mr Emma Thompson) reading The Letter from Persuasion. Be still my beating heart. (Sorry, can’t embed.)
Yes, Darkness is going very well. Why do you ask?

Pictures, yes, nice and lovely. Glad you had a great time and all, but.
OH MY WORD. That VIDEO. I nearly passed out. And there are so many more! Thank you for the link!

Looks like an amazing vacation – hope you had a great time!
Glad you enjoyed Greg Wise reading The Letter! I pretty much passed out when I heard it. =P
Off to go watch the 2007 Persuasion – if I watch the other one first, it will ruin this one for me!

Why is that, Tiff? The 2007 movie sucks. Anne runs a marathon for god knows what reason, and they RUIN the letter.

Well, I want to watch both movies, since I own the 2007 one (it came with my 2008 Sense and Sensibility), and I figure if I’m going to watch one first, it’s best to start with the one that everyone hates so that I don’t have any expectations beforehand. =)
