It’s been a while since I’ve posted and although I’ve been having a lot of fun doing SL photography on my SL blog, and giving my mind time to settle, I realized that I honestly miss regular blogging. I have absolutely no inspiration or ability to create any product right now, sadly, so you’re stuck learning a bit more about just how quirky I am. *laugh*
Anyone close to me, if asked to describe me, would probably say that I’m a bit obsessed with my Celtic heritage. I totally own up to that and even bought L a machine gun toting leprechaun patch as a stocking gift even. *grin* However, it’s not limited to Ireland, Scotland, and the Druids. I love most things English, as well. Being the tech loving nerd that I am, I naturally am a faithful subscriber to both BritBox and Acorn streaming services, both with programs from across the pond, with a little Australian and Welsh thrown in.
While my favorite British quiz show, QI, is between seasons (or series, as they say), I have been exploring more of the mysteries and absolutely love Acorn’s “Queens of Mystery”. Two new episodes (they’re divided, but the second is the continuation of the first) every Monday and I have 2 delightful hours full of a bright-eyed Detective Sergeant Matilda along with her three crime-writing aunts solve a case, although the aunts are never involved if the Chief asks. *grin* With veteran actresses from amazing shows like The Bletchley Circle, Midsomer Murders (although, to be fair, I think it’s mandatory for all European actors and actresses to appear in at least one episode of that classic *laugh*), Taggart, Poirot, and one of my favorite English versions of Sherlock Holmes, it was destined to be fantastic, in my opinion. That’s some wicked talent just in the actresses who play the aunts!
There’s a continuing mystery underneath it all about Matilda’s mother’s disappearance when she was little, with very unexpected story lines, and a huge dose of charm. So if you can spare one Starbucks a month, I wholeheartedly recommend at least trying Acorn and seeing what you think about the Queens of Mystery!
So, I’m not all doom, gloom, and poison…well, they’re still murder mysteries and some poison, but this is a charming version. *grin* Although I rate at 100% as Wednesday Addams on every quiz I take, even I enjoy lighthearted shows like this (and Grease 2, Cry-Baby, and Dirty Dancing, if you happen to follow my Flickr and see my themed SL photography with those films for inspiration *laugh*). If you happen to also decide on a trial of BritBox, I recommend Midsomer Murders and The Vicar of Dibley, and maybe binge-watching/participating in QI’s trivia. I now know so much odd trivia that has actually come in handy a few times! For those that know the series, let’s all agree that Alan needs to stop saying Blue Whale. *laugh*
Anyway, that’s a little bit of random quirkiness for today. I hope this finds you all healthy and happy as you can be! 🙂
