A quick rundown of what we've enjoyed this week in the Glad House…
Watching
Gosford Park on Netflix - can you believe I hadn't seen this inspiration for Downton Abbey until now? Fabulous cast, and great screenplay worthy of the Academy Award.
Vinepeek - with the launch of new social media site Vine, the video equivalent of Instagram, comes vinepeek. It's like the movie Life in a Day with even less context, but just as compelling. I noticed lots of cats, lots of wine, lots of babies.
Admiring
Pinup paintings with the original photographs - Elvgren pinup girls are well-known for their beautiful cheekiness. It's fun to see the original models for some of the famous paintings.
Frosty the snowcat and namesake - cold weather hit the news on both sides of the pond this week. I'm a sucker for this photo just because I have my own white kitty.
Fire and ice in Chicago - such strange yet beautiful photos of firefighters putting out a smoldering blaze in sub-zero temperatures.
Reading
Love Note to a Pink door - this is what happens when you ask a kid for their favorite thing about Philadelphia.
Frozen Soda shuts down PA highway - a bit of a sticky situation.
How I lost my wedding ring - poor Raspy Wit, but hilariously illustrated.
How Toy Story 2 was deleted twice - this is a fascinating account of one of the best movie sequels made. Well worth a read.

I had no idea that there was insperation for Downton Abbey! How fun, I must watch.
ReplyDeleteToday, I am enjoying the sun and a wonderful cup of coffee!
Yes, I didn't realize it was the inspiration either to be honest, until after we watched it. It's a fantastic movie so I definitely recommend you watch.
