In three days I’ve watched all FOUR DVDs of The Tudors, Season One. Well, I’m watching the fourth DVD right now. Princess Margaret is coughing up blood as we speak….

I must have lived another life in the 16th century because I’m OBSESSED with this time period. Sure, I specialized in 18th- and 19th-century English literature in grad school, but that was only because some professors were fighting over my sweet innocent (size-0) hottness, and the Romantic Poetry prof won by a landslide. Seriously, EVERYTHING is about hotness in grad school if you are even a LITTLE bit attractive. At least that was my experience. But, I digress.

Honestly? I don’t know what I’ll do when this DVD is done. Whatever will I do, Gorgeouses? Seriously, this is the best thing since my beloved ROME, which died a sorry death after a only two seasons WAAAAAAAAH! Let that be a cautionary tale to thee, OH THE TUTORS!

Can I just ask, before I change subject, how gorj is she?

Natalie Dormer is the PERFECT Anne Boleyn. PERFECT. It’s incredible, really. Award anyone? I’d talk about how pretty Jonathan Rhys Meyers is….

…But, he’s a little TOO pretty for me. I’m more into — don’t laugh — Jeremy Northam….

…whom I’ve loved since Emma — one of my favourite movies (and novels) of all time….


“Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend!”

And, off goes Cardinal Wolsey. I’m almost sorry to see th’ole guy die…at his own hands….

Sigh. Anyway. Tomorrow, I’m cleaning house. My bawd, that is. I know. I make this pact every freaking week. But, get used to it: I’m a virgo; we’re like that…. I’m serious. So serious. It’s not just about losing preggers pounds anymore. It’s about reaching my WHOLE potential. Because I am SO CERTAIN that chai lattes and other sugary goodies (and the not-sleeping) are keeping me from feeling my best. Don’t believe me? Ask Kathy Freston. I’m reading her totally brillers book right now. I mean, Oprah did it, and now Heather B. Armstrong is doing it. And, they both feel great! I’m not going totally vegan, but I’m cleaning up a few “little” things — STARTING with caffeine and sugar. Prone to anxiety and depression, AS I AM, I should NOT be ingesting these things. That much my own BODY tells me all the time. And, I’m getting tired of not listening….

Anyway, I just had a beautiful little butter tart. Yes, I bought it JUST for this occasion. A little goodbye party in my mouth.

Alas, now, The Tudors, Season 1, has ended for me…with lovely naked romp in the woods….

Hhhhott. Knuckle. Biting. Hhhhhott.

And, now I (and the rest of Canada) have to wait until September 30, 9pm, for season 2. Baaahhhh.
