- Went to Starbucks to visit with Sophia the other day! We don't often get to see each other, and it was fun being able to talk before winter quarter starts.
- Speaking of coffee, I've just got to say that I love Starbucks. I've got nothing against Tully's either. They're both part of our Seattle coffee tradition, so cool beans (pardon the pun).
- Started a poli sci book (one of my 2013 reading goals). It's called America and the World, an interview with foreign policy advisors of George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. Very interesting, and somewhat disconcerting, so far.
- Watched S1 of Downton Abbey in the space of a day and a half. Because we're cool like that (actually, the season is only seven episodes long). I just read the synopsis of S2 (no copies at the library right now!) and we're getting ready to watch S3 E1 on PBS tonight. Soap operas aren't my favorite, but I do like it better than Lark Rise (which was horribly addicting as well). Anyone else going to watch S3?

1) I hate the new Blogger interface.
THERE ARE TOO MANY MENUS, PEOPLE. Menus here, menus there, just loathsome to look at. But aside from aesthetics, they've got rid of the feature where you could look at a post without hitting "edit". Why? And now, if I am editing a post, I can't hit "back" or return to "Edit Posts". I have to go back to Dashboard and then re-enter editing posts.
So far, the only good things about this interface are the color scheme and its compatibility with mobile devices. However, the latter is something of a non-feature--who writes blog posts from their phone or tablet? Those that do are probably already using the Blogger app.
Maybe now I'll spend less time on Blogger. >_<
2) BBC's "The Paradise"
So I just read this book, and what do you know, they (literally) just made a miniseries of it, and it'll be airing in Britain next week:
Except instead of taking place in Paris, this is set in Northern England and is heavily altered/adapted from the book. More info here.
The casting of Mouret (now "Moray") and Denise looks perfect. If this makes it to PBS, I might watch it. What say you?
3) Day 20: A hobby of yours
Mostly reading and listening to music. :) Right now, I kind of alternate between synthpop and opera, with intervals of unclassifiable piano music (i.e. Einaudi and Yiruma). I used to listen to a lot of "heavy" classical music (concertos and symphonies), but a little variety is healthier, I think.

PBS is having a Masterpiece Theatre character tournament on Facebook. I don't have FB so I can't vote. But naturally, I'm hoping a certain someone will win. ;)
What I'd be interested to know is why so many people vote for Elizabeth Bennet. The comments say that it's because she is "outspoken"...but she really didn't go out on a limb to be so. Indeed, you could say that her whole family was in the habit of speaking their mind. Anyhow...inquiring minds want to know your opinion on why she is a great character. :)
And now I'm trying to picture said characters participating in the Olympic Games...tomorrow on short track speed-skating, Sherlock Holmes faces Hercule Poirot in the men's 500 meters...

Emma Woodhouse, from Emma, by Jane Austen.
The third installment in my "Heroines" costume series.
When I saw this fabric, I knew it was the one for Emma. :) The flowers are pink/peach instead of blue, but besides that it's pretty close (see Atlanta's post for inspiration photos and her lovely replica version). I just love the costumes in the new BBC series!
I had to try the Regency Colouring Tutorial too. ;)
For the skirt and sleeves, I used Simplicity 7089 (with less of a train for the skirt); and Simplicity 5673 as a base for the top. The back fastens with a snap and hook & eye.

...not! ;)
Frock coat - This is a gorgeous coat (sans skull embroidery). I love the style--it's so old-fashioned and wonderfully Victorian. The only problem? I haven't found the right sewing pattern yet.
"Sherlock" coat - Ok, I really don't *need* this, but it's very cool. :) I don't exactly feel like spending $200, but I wouldn't mind making one for $30 (or less).
Knit sweater vest - I wish my knitting skills were more advanced, because I'd love to knit a grey vest with this pattern (though with a few adjustments). Very classic.
Alas, as all of these are somewhat detailed, I think I'll have to wait until summer. And by then I'll have a million other sewing projects planned as well...in addition to all the ones I had before. ;)
What are your future sewing projects?

Holmes is very cold and arrogant in this version, isn't he? Even though he's supposed to be cold and arrogant (at the beginning of the series), and even though this is a 21st-century Holmes, I think they went a little too far with that. However, it looks interesting.... I love it when he says "The game, Mrs Hudson, is ON!" :) He really sounds like Holmes!

Saw this at Costume Drama Madness: Brooding Brontës replace Austen as ‘bonnet drama’ returns
I was REALLY excited; I thought it meant we were finally getting an adaptation of Villette and other underrated Bronte books! But it turns out the article is only about the upcoming Jane Eyre and (yet another) Wuthering Heights films. Mind you, if it's a good adaptation, I'd love to see another Jane Eyre. I haven't yet seen the perfect one yet...so far I think the 1983 one is the best. The 2006 one was accurate in some ways (the self-portrait scene, for example), but it drastically changed the character of Jane Eyre, which really bothers me.
Now, if this new one is good, and if lots of people like it, it might lead to more Bronte stories being adapted--like Cranford was, after North & South. I really hope that will turn out to be the case. :) The problem is, I'm almost a purist when it comes to Charlotte Bronte's books, so if the films aren't good, I will be exceedingly disappointed. Exceedingly...

When it comes to sewing, few things (if any) are more inspiring to me than watching a good costume drama. :) So, I sewed a costume from The Young Victoria--it's based on the yellow dress she wears to the king's birthday, and I made it for an 11 1/2 inch doll:
The lovely flower-print lace was something someone gave me a couple years ago; the ribbon is also from the lady who gave me the lace, and the rest of the fabric/trim was stuff we had already...
The gloves were an experiment, first time I'd attempted to make them.
If I were to do it over, there are a couple things I'd change; but overall, I'm really happy with how it turned out. =)
BTW, the DVD is set for a release date of April 20; you can pre-order it from Amazon.

Well, yesterday was the last part of Emma, and (not being a football fan) I also finished rewatching Lord of the Rings for the umpteenth time--actually, I've been keeping track, and this is approx. the 6th time I've seen Fellowship and Two Towers, and the 4th time I've seen Return. I'm still impressed by how good they are! I keep noticing things I didn't notice before, and certain scenes are almost just as amazing as when I first saw them--Emiko and I ran out of Kleenex more than once.
This version of Emma is definitely one of my top favourite Jane Austen movies, and it wins the award, imo, for best Regency costumes ever! Most of the dresses are pretty, colourful, creative, and relatively modest; and all the costumes in general look pretty realistic...I mean, they actually look wearable! Episode 2 inspired me to make a Regency blouse, not finished yet but I'll post pics when it is. :) And forget Darcy; MR KNIGHTLEY IS THE BEST!!! I think I like this version of him just as much as Northam's version, and that's saying a lot, lol. This Emma Woodhouse is also the best version I've seen, actually a little bit likeable; I love the scene where she echoes "Badly done!"--that was brilliant on the part of the scriptwriters. Overall, the most enjoyable adaptation of Emma yet. Most of the cast is excellent, and I love the use of flashbacks, narration, and Emma's imagination. I wouldn't call myself a Jane Austen purist, but I still think this series kept to the spirit of the book well, and most of the stuff the scriptwriters added was in good taste and in keeping with the original story and portrayals.
Now if they would only do some Bronte adaptations that kept to the spirit of the books. *sigh* Maybe someday!
What did you think of "Emma"?
Also, thanks to those of you who've tagged or awarded me! I'll be posting those soon, as well as some photos......

2010 has been going really well, so far. I've been somewhat busy--trying not to be confuzzled with acid/base equilibria, for one. Chemistry is cool, but it takes a lot of deep thought and concentration (no pun intended). I'm re-reading Heart of Darkness and The Hound of the Baskervilles, too, until the Barnaby Rudge Read begins; my copy of Barnaby is on its way from the UK, and I've never been in any kind of a reading group before, so I'm really excited!
The other thing that is really exciting is that my 18th-century story (doesn't make sense to call it a Sleeping Beauty story, when it isn't based much on that) is now about 35 pages. I'm now on Chapter 2; my goal is to write a chapter a week, and the finished book should be about 260-300 pages. That will be the longest completed thing I've written...not very long, but a step up from my other stories. :)
What did you all think of "Return to Cranford", part 1? I don't particularly like any of the new characters, and I'm glad Mary Smith is still in it. The train ride was cool, too. Overall, it's not as good as the first one, imo.

The Young Victoria
The Young Victoria (2009)
Director: Jean-Marc Vallée
Cast: Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Paul Bettany, etc.
Rated: PG. This review talks about how the movie is, content-wise.
My overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars. One thing which would have made it even BETTER would be a cameo appearance of Felix Mendelssohn, one of Victoria's (and my) favourite composers. But that would be too good to be true. ;)
The story: As the young, soon-to-be Queen of England, Victoria faces a difficult life ahead of her. She is surrounded by critics and politicians with their own agenda, such as the calm and collected Lord Melbourne and her mother's friend, the violent Sir John Conroy. Meanwhile, Prince Albert, of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, has plenty of pressure of his own to deal with, and it's with hesitance that he goes to meet Victoria, whom his relations want him to marry. Yet, unexpectedly, they both find in each other an understanding, genuine friend; and, that despite whatever schemers they meet in life, they can always depend on each other.
My thoughts: This movie turned out to be way better than I'd expected, and in about every aspect! I was thinking it'd be a nice, pretty, chick-flick kind of film, but it goes a lot deeper than that. In fact, it's so good, I hardly know where to begin.
Costumes, of course, were lovely; Victoria had so many different gowns, and Prince Albert's outfits were very nice too (especially the blue waistcoat). It makes a big difference that they actually designed some new costumes for this film, instead of digging something out of a closet, and I think their efforts were totally worthwhile in this respect. It was a pity that some of the costumes, like the yellow birthday gown, didn't get enough screen time, but one can't really complain, especially as there are some nice photos online of the dresses. The sets were also really detailed and tasteful, and I love the cinematography! There was a beautiful, rich look about the whole film, without looking too overdone or superficial; it's hard to describe, but I guess I'd call the lighting/cinematography as "natural but artistic". Or something like that. :)
The cast was excellent. Though Bettany as Melbourne did look too young, he nevertheless played the part very well, portraying a Lord Melbourne who is cool and composed no matter what the situation. Blunt was quite convincing as a young Queen Victoria; she is young Victoria, in the sense that I don't think I could see anybody else acting the part. Her facial expressions are perfect for the role, and she conveys the "half-Queen, half-inexperienced young lady" character wonderfully. Friend as Prince Albert was charming from start to finish; he really stole the show in some scenes!
Script was very, very good. There were all sorts of great moments, and some humour, too--like the part at the dinner where Victoria takes a big bite, then Lord Melbourne asks her a question (or something). I think most of us can relate. ;) Balance is the key word for this film: the characters were well-balanced (Victoria not being too timid or too fiery, too inexperienced or too authoritative, but some of each), the mood of the film was well-balanced (you'll laugh, and cry), and the plot/story was well-balanced overall. One of the best things about the film (in my opinion) was the way they wrote the proposal scene--it doesn't come when you expect it to, and when it does happen, it's not over-dramatized or anything, but instead quite realistic.
People have said that Blunt and Friend's Victoria & Albert didn't have much chemistry, but I quite disagree. This is a very romantic film, and now one of my favourites. Like my mom said, you have to understand the personalities and the era. Not only were Victoria and Albert (as here portrayed) naturally both rather quiet people, but they also had to maintain reserve, due to the standards of the era and their being public figures. Besides, I think writing letters and having serious talks with each other, as in this film, very romantic. In fact, I could have done with fewer kissing scenes, lol. This movie also has one of the best ballroom dances I've seen yet. <3
The soundtrack was epic, and deserves a paragraph of its own. There was only one theme that really stood out as being a consistent theme: Schubert's Serenade (aka Swan Song), best rendition/context I've heard and I'm not really a fan of that song. But in this kind of story, a solid theme song isn't a must; the soundtrack instead consists of various themes, most of which are orchestral and set the mood. I got the soundtrack from iTunes, and it's great stuff--some of my favourite tracks are "The King's Birthday" (which quotes Paganini), "Lord Melbourne", and "Constitutional Crisis" (which reminds me of A Tale of Two Cities). "The First Waltz" is also really nice.
All in all, I was sad to see it end; it's the sort of movie that you wish went on longer. You come to really care about the characters: Victoria, learning how to fulfill her role in life, and Albert, eager to be her help and support. It's a great movie on several different levels, and I highly recommend it!

This is my fourth--and perhaps my last, unfortunately--American Girl doll dress that was made for one of my cousins, this time my youngest cousin, who's getting a "Just Like You" doll for Christmas. =)
I was quite happy to finally be able to use the green fabric...I had about a couple yards of it, but hadn't ever made anything with it.
While I'm at it, here's a fairly recent 11 1/2" doll dress I did--it's supposed to be one of Lucy Snowe's dresses, from Villette by Charlotte Bronte:
