I have no new pictures for you so here is one of the last of the mittens.  I really didn't get much done over the weekend.  Maybe I'll have a picture tomorrow.

I haven't done much this weekend at all.  On Friday the podasts were regular and Saturday I didn't get much done in WOW.  I got about half a washcloth done at a birthday party on Saturday and yesterday I worked on the blanket for PRR.

I did watch one drama special yesterday.  It was called When I Was The Prettiest or My Prettiest Memories.  It was not what I expected.  It was about an hour long and had sort of an art film feel to it.  It's about a woman who's cancer has come back again.  She wants to go on a last trip with her family and die at home. Her husband wants her to take cancer treatment again even though there is little hope.  The concept of a guardian feels weird to me.  Because the husband is the guardian, the doctors discuss what is wrong and what the treatment should be with him and not her. That's not necessarily important to the story it was just odd to me even though I've seen the concept in dramas before. O.k. back to the story after the tangent.  Wile she is in the hospital she meets a young guy who is acting as guardian for his girlfriend.  They develop a relationship and it causes everyone pain.  I'm not sure I liked it but if you are looking it up I feel like the mydramalist summary is kind of inaccurate.

The other thing I watched was the Joss Whedon version of Much Ado About Nothing. It was different that I was expecting but it was good.  I love the Kenneth Branagh version so it's interesting to compare the two.   The Branagh version seemed funnier to me I think because the Whedon version was shot in black ans white. I liked the chemistry between Beatrice and Benedick in the Branagh version as well. Michael Keaton played Dogberry as a drunk where Nathan Fillion played it more bubbling and offended at being called an ass. With the Whedon version besides being black and white it was filmed quickly so it has a home movie or security footage feel to it. They also cast Conrad as female so that had an interesting twist. I think the Whedon version may be more accessible to a lot of people but I really like the Branagh version better for laughing.

The kids have today off for Memorial day so once again I'm not getting much done.  It's a little rainy here but mostly muggy. We are starting the count down to my sister's wedding. That's about it.  Sorry there isn't much knitting content hopefully next time.  See you then.
