It turned out to be a Gaskell day. Yes, the entire day.

Every so often, and entire day of friends, junk food, and movies is not only acceptable but necessary. Wives and Daughters and North and South make for hours and hours of fun. Yelling at annoying characters, looking up actors on IMDb, and failing to keep our fingers out of the chip bowls.

We tried to watch Much Ado About Nothing but Netflix doesn't have subtitles. We couldn't translate Shakespeare in our heads fast enough to keep up with the plot.

But, today is back to real life, chores, etc. This is actually ok with me. Maybe I'll fit in an ep of Doctor Who.

Why did you need subtitles for much ado?

I love that movie. My mom bought it for me because she thought it was a Jane Austen book cause if some of the people in it.

When you're not used to hearing Shakespeare, subtitles help. Heck I used to keep the books open with me when we watched movies in high school. Except for the 1 or 2 times I've watched Romeo and Juliet since college, my brain hasn't been exposed to it.
