I had been thinking about these similarities myself for quite some time and finally decided to see if others had the same insight. Glad to see you've done the writing for me! and Very well done indeed. Now, let's see if Ethel can get William's war pension for herself and her baby since Daisy doesn't seem to want it. Maybe she'll let Ethel step in in her stead....sweet. And, btw, isn't Daisy the only one who could have ratted out Mary and the dead Turk to the others? Wow.

It was a long time ago. I've never owned a Mac, but I've taken a couple of Apple computers apart to do upgrades -- they are always so tidy and well laid out inside.

Suellen and Edith do look a little a like! They all do! You have mentioned the Scarlett/Mary similarities a bit before, but I never realized how far the similarities extend through all sisters. I wonder if anyone else noticed? I mean, anyone in the production or in the media. I'm glad you included differences, because I don't think Mary could ever be as mean-spirited as Scarlett, but she hasn't been pushed to the extreme like Scarlett either. I think Mary learns from her mistakes, but Scarlett is slower to see and learn. Loved it! I love this! Suellen and Edith do look a little a like! They all do!

The skirt area isn't petticoatedand goes almost straight down. Maybe the waistline on Mary’s is a little lower than it should be but I think that’s it.

]]> Comment on Downton Abbey Soundtrack & Book: Tweeting with the Earl by Missy http://www.missyisms.com/2011/08/29/downton-abbey-soundtrack-book-tweeting-with-the-earl/comment-page-1/#comment-855 Missy Wed, 31 Aug 2011 21:00:37 +0000 http://www.missyisms.com/?p=1574#comment-855 I think some actors reply some of the time; Mr. B. just seems to be especially tuned in. ;-) I did listen to the links on LJ comm. Do you know if those are from the actual CD/soundtrack or if they are other recordings of the same songs? (I speak of the two period vocal pieces.) Sometimes new recordings of those older songs can be lovely, even if existing recordings are not. Have you heard the songs Jeremy Northam sings in GOSFORD PARK? I love them, but can't find many other recordings of Ivor Novella's songs that I do like. Hmm. As for the book, I'm expecting a book with lots of pictures and narrative explaining the filming and writing process, etc. BUT...there's going to be an audiobook too, that's odd. I won't order the book till I know more about it. I don't want to spend $$$ and then be disappointed. I'm a Scrooge that way. ;-) I think some actors reply some of the time; Mr. B. just seems to be especially tuned in. ;-)

I'm not feeling it, for some reason (except for the new instrumental piece -- that's beautiful. :) IDK, I don't think DA should have music with words... ;) I'm a little confused about what this book will actually be -- unless it's a pictorial book of Highclere Castle (which is almost what it sounds like!) Though I suppose it'd be cool to have a coffee table book about DA...will have to wait and see if it goes on sale... :D Awww, that’s so cool that you had a Twitter conversation with Hugh B.! :D That’s so neat he responds to fans (I never expect actors on Twitter to do that — but he seems like such a cool guy! :)

He...doesn't seem like the type. The Crawleys [Robert/Cora/Violet] maybe, but I don't think a middle class solicitor much cares what London society thinks... :p ) Just my opinion, though... Absolutely! Go for it. :D (I kind of want to see the theory all laid out!!! :) ) (You think Matthew would care what society would think of him? He…doesn’t seem like the type.
