Me, obsessed? You don't say...

Period dramas. All I want to watch anymore are period dramas. Sherlock Holmes included, [livejournal.com profile] ewanspotter, which I saw at the store today. While browsing for pictures of Little Dorrit I keep coming across listings and recommendations for other period dramas. I still have Bleak House to watch, as well as Oliver Twist (it came with LD). Let's add Tess of the D'Ubervilles, Wives and Daughters, aaaaaaand I can't remember what else.

Maybe I just like happy endings. Maybe I just like seeing familiar British actors and then going on wild imdb.com searches to see where I've seen so and so before.

Hmm, and what am I going to do when LOST is over? Gasp.

LJ needs to expand it's mood selection. I'd like to add procrastinating, obsessed, and pondering, among others.

You're not really supposed to, unless you're uber familiar with Victorian medicine (I certainly didn't until after I saw the movie). But it was a nod to Canon in a subtle way. Holmes uses both morphine and cocaine (his famed seven-percent-solution) occasionally, neither of which were illegal at the time (although Watson is not fond of the "vices" and eventually weans Holmes from them).
