Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths
Talking with Hobbitsister on the phone:
Me: You should be proud of me!
Hobsis: I am proud of you. Every day.
Me: Aw, that's so nice! And you should be proud of me today.
Hobsis: Why should I be proud of you today?
Me: I'm watching Shakespeare with no one woo-woo in it!
Hobsis: Why?
Me: Aren't you proud of me?
Hobsis: Okay, but why?
Me: Aren't you the one who wants me to like Shakespeare?
Hobsis: Well, yeah, but you don't, so why are you watching it if there's no one woo-woo in it?
Me: Because I've just read a couple books about the Wars of the Roses, and last time I watched the Hollow Crown I skipped Henry VI Part One, because there's no one woo-woo in it, but now I think I should watch all three movies.
Hobsis: All three?
Me: Yes, I only watched the other two last time because they have Benedict in them.
Hobsis: Oh, so you're watching it anticipating woo-woo.
Me: Okay, yeah, fine. But I still get some credit for watching Shakespeare with no one woo-woo in it!
Hobsis: Yes, you do.
Me: You should be proud of me!
Hobsis: I am proud of you. Every day.
Me: Aw, that's so nice! And you should be proud of me today.
Hobsis: Why should I be proud of you today?
Me: I'm watching Shakespeare with no one woo-woo in it!
Hobsis: Why?
Me: Aren't you proud of me?
Hobsis: Okay, but why?
Me: Aren't you the one who wants me to like Shakespeare?
Hobsis: Well, yeah, but you don't, so why are you watching it if there's no one woo-woo in it?
Hobsis: All three?
Hobsis: Oh, so you're watching it anticipating woo-woo.
Me: Okay, yeah, fine. But I still get some credit for watching Shakespeare with no one woo-woo in it!
Hobsis: Yes, you do.

Oh! I have read this one! How did I miss some before it then? Sorry. Anyway, that was one bloody movie series. But I look forward to touring the Tower of London with you now. ;)
(I mean, I did before! Sigh.)
I started off with the first one. Just sayin'. But I also only watched them all once; that was enough. ;) I really didn't like Queen Margaret or that guy who found her.
I warned you they were bloody! And I told you you could skip the first. So I did my part. :)
And you're not supposed to like Queen Margaret or that guy, so good job. You're also not supposed to like Richard. Whoops.
I feel like they shouldn't have had Benedict Cumberbatch play him then, you know? I mean, he and his fans have kind of a reputation.
:D
