    Foyle's War UK WW II period police drama

    I've just started watching the series, thanks to Netflix. And I love it--Michael Kitchen especially. His eyes are so kind, and I adore his understatements. My kinda guy. I've got my parents hooked on it too! So far, we've watched the first three episodes, and I'm very excited about the next...

    How Did They Do It?

    You should take a look at these, from Restoration Hardware. They're really light, and very retro-cool! http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1417006&navAction=jump&navCount=1

    Oscar Night

    Now to be fair, I have yet to see No Country for Old Men, and I wanted to--that wasn't the choice I was disappointed about, 'cause I really respect the Coen Brothers. I'll see if I'm upset after I see the film. Diabolo Cody's win irritated me (I thought Juno was way overrated) and There Will Be...

    Anything in the coming months that you are excited for?

    I'm looking forward to Scotland next month, graduating at last, then perhaps moving and getting a job overseas.

    Oscar Night

    I've seen Once three times now, and the last time I watched it, I cried through the whole thing. Silly hormones. I love that movie! Some of the gowns this year were really stunning, Helen Mirren and Katherine Heigl in particular. Very thirties-inspired, I think.

    Oscar Night

    Me too! It was the highlight of the awards, along with Marion Cotillard and Daniel Day-Lewis winning. Not so happy about most of the other choices, though...

    What are you listening to?

    Yeasayer. Promising album, but their single "2080" is probably the best song on the album.

    Do you have a crush?

    Okay, I'm going to throw one in who I haven't seen mentioned yet... I think he's a knockout.

    Music/Bands you think are really pushing the bounds these days

    Ooh, music that's pushing the bounds? Noisettes West Indian Girl Cold War Kids Modest Mouse Yeasayer As to whether "and 'pushing the bounds' just screams "golden era'", well, why not? There's no such thing as a period without change, and music evolved just as everything else did. I...

    What are you wearing today??

    Charleston, you look dapper, and I can't believe this is your, um, "scruffy" look! lol I'm thinking that someone compared you to Andy Garcia a few days ago, but you remind me of this guy, Richard Armitage:

    Were you a sharp-dressed kid?

    Erm, well, growing up in the late eighties, I didn't have a chance! Acid wash, polka dots, lime green, stirrup pants. Lovely. The choice was limited, and I didn't learn what looked good on me until the past few years.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, how was Notes on a Scandal? I've wanted to watch it since the previews came out--it looks fantastic. Both leading ladies are two of my favorite actresses.

    Oh, Samantha, you and your new husband look marvelous! What a wonderful day for you both, and thanks Kilroy for the pictures!

    RUM?!

    The only time I had rum straight was in France, at a bar on the island of Saint-Malo. A local bought me a few shots of the cinnamon-infused variety, and it was amazing! Makes me drunk like a pirate though. Fun for everyone. Otherwise I have it in a mojito...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    I'm quite boring with sandwiches...I really like anything with portobellos, mozzarella, and balsamic, if I was going fancy. But truly? Ham, gruy?®re and butter on a baguette. Or egg mayo, which, I am told, is the only sandwich ever left over at children's parties. Oh well, more for me!!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Age of Innocence. It's been so long since I've seen this movie that it felt like watching it again for the first time. Really gorgeous, frustrating, educational, and entertaining--what a bargain! lol

    Antisocial.....is this normal?

    Agreed... and I think that this "super-life" expectation is even more so where we live, RBD. I get lonely too--one of my best friends lives in Scotland, the other in San Francisco. I have other people to see down here, but everyone is too busy to enjoy a spontaneous night out. That's what I...
