13 March 2024 12:21Hi. It's been a while.
I was going to complain about politics, my shitty master's colleagues, no mojo for drawing and uni work being stressful.
But I need some happy, here's a book report.
Finished Married by Morning by Lisa Kleypas. Yep, book's crazy. And so was Tessa Dare's Any Duchess Will Do. Are they great pieces or literature? No, but I had a time. Sometimes you need a slapstick comedy in a vaguely historical setting when life throws you rocks.
Still going on Gay Berlin, just put it on pause for the moment. Priorities, and my uni work surely needs to be the number 1. Although, I do read one chapter of the godawful Conrad Veidt biography. It's godawful. I need to get that one out asap. No seriously, I had to rant about it in my Velha Estante. Sigh.
In regards to the Lux Radio version of A Woman's Face (which isn't a book), it's much better than the other radio version, but not as good as the film (as it is to be expected). Nobody felt like they were falling asleep! Connie was normal (for the most part, we'll talk about it), and it was closer to the film too.
And then the attic scene. It's not very good, but Connie is all over the top again, screaming "POWER! POWER! POWER!" (endearing) and I lost it. Now that's the radio!Torsten I know :D
It all goes downhill from there, but again, much better than the other version.
