Finally got around to finishing the august part of last year's Stitch-a-long from cloudsfactory!
So now I have 10 days left to do the September part, if I don't want to be more than a year behind.
But of course I made a new start today instead of doing that, or give my unicorn a leg.
Eh, I kinda get it from a telescopic point of view -- to quote A Tale of Two Cities which I'm listening to for the first time right now,
In this respect the House was much on a par with the Country; which did very often disinherit its sons for suggesting improvements in laws and customs that had long been highly objectionable, but were only the more respectable.
So like, I get the appeal of the star-crossed lovers held apart by little more than TRADITIOOOON!!! and getting together in spite of that. By my impressions, half the play is saying "look what we're doing to our children", it's just that the other half is nudging and winking at the audience going "kids, am I right?" and it makes the main characters kind of insufferable as a result.
