would you like to go to downton abbey? yes please

with winter being so dreary and the weather so cold and snowy and the bottoms of my snow boots gone (fallen off in little tiny pieces) we tend to stay in the house and i've dedicated friday afternoons to masterpiece theater.  this current series is definitely more, hmmmm, adult than say, emma, but it's very british and that is, well, very me (movie wise anyway).

here's to a dvr, pbs, and a good long baby nap, i raise my steaming cup of american joe to you.

......maggie smith - oh, to die for; hugh bonneville - um british lord perfections; jim crawford - so glad to see you again, one of the best parts of "cranford"
