During the Renaissance, cabinet of curiosities came into fashion as a collection of objects that would often defy classification. As a precursor to the modern museum, the cabinet referred to room(s), not actual furniture, of things that piqued the owners interest and would be collected and displayed in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Collectioun of Cunnynge Curioustes is my 21st century interpretation of that idea.
Dear Internet,
Watching
- Doc Martin
Finally finished up season 6. While on one hand I love the curmudgeonly doctor, the plot lines each season are exactly the same. - The Musketeers
Nice retelling of Dumas’ story, that also expounds on the story. It’s coming to BBCA this spring. - Mr. Selfridge
Season 2 of the hit show returns - The White Queen
I just finished the BBC version and then found out the Starz version was edited to INCLUDE more sexy times! Argh! But that aside, while the slow pick up, it got really interesting and started ramping up as the moves happened across the throne. - Moonfleet
Based on a beloved children’s story as a retelling of Blackbird, but the movie adaptation was bor-ring. - The IT Crowd
THE INTERNET IS COMING! The last episode of the benevolent geek show. - The Bletchley Circle
- QI
K series has now ended and we’re ever more sad for it. - Black Sails
Starz’s new show about pirates and it’s slow going. Choppy editing and writing. It’s pretty to look at, but kind of vaccus to listen to. - Top Gear
The boys are back! YAY.
