NOOOO!!!!! I just typed a big thing and the page refreshed on me!! GRRR...
1) Patrice, Monae & Laura.... I need one of you ladies to get a BFP so I'm not the lone pregnant chick!! hahaha
2) I can't believe I am 27 weeks already! But, I say that with each passing week... LOL. It's just exciting to feel her move. Except that my ribs and upper abdomen is really sore and my back and shoulders ache real bad
3) I just got done watching the Showtime/BBC series The Tudors! It was SO good, but somewhat historically inaccurate. Had no Idea that Queen Elizabeth 1 was actually Anne Boleyn's daughter. Has anyone watched that series as well? I think it was such a good idea to have authentic Irish/British actors! Because even if they had to tweek their accent to the Queen's English, it was so much better than hiring American actors to do so and try and fake phony accents. I'm not sure if they all were Irish & British, as Natalie Dormer said she actually auditioned for the part of Anne Boleyn here in the states in New York City in New York State. Frankly, comparing the two, Jonathan Rhys Meyers is probably way better looking than what Henry VIII actually looked like but towards the end of the series I was getting annoyed with him. It was almost as if he tried too hard. While the people & stories were adapted by real-life events, some of the story lines and timelines were incredibly off but it was never made to be historically accurate. Who wants to see a real like 50 year old bedding 16 year old Queen Katherine Howard? No thanks. LOL. I'd rather see a hot guy LOL. Kidding, but still. They could of at least have made Jonathan who played Henry VIII have red hair for crying out loud. Now, after seeing the series AND the move, The Other Boleyn Girl I have to say that I do love both. I love how with The Tudors, even if some parts were totally fictional, you got to see more of the day-to-day interaction between Anne Boleyn & Henry, however, I prefer Natalie Portman's portrayal of Anne over Natalie Dormer. Which, oddly, Portman is American with a horrible fake British accent but IMO her execution scene was far better with more emotion. The very thought of getting your head chopped off is scary! yikes! Especially since after that happens your brain still thinks and feels for over 8 seconds so your aware your head is off your body! But, in other ways I like Dormer. I guess I can't REALLY chose my favorite but if I did have to chose between the two, I'd chose Portman. I just love her anyways, she's a beautiful actress. Although both actresses physically are wonderful, Portman looks closer to what the real Queen Anne Boleyn would look like. Upon that, knowing what Queen Mary 1 did in her five-six year reign, burning protestants at the stake knowing the back story about what her father did to her mother and her, and the reformation from the Catholic Church to The Church Of England, I can see why Mary herself wanted to reinstate England as a Catholic Nation. In any case, since my ancestors are from England/UK/London area and my husband's are from Scotland, we are going to try and save up for a couples trip over there. The trip won't happen anytime soon, because we have to save up but hopefully within a year or two's time we can take a trip there. I'm not sure if we will get to Scotland for financial reasons, but it's a place on our list that my DH really wants to go too sometime. The most of our trip to London I think will be visiting more of the historical sites.
