Why did you have to make that Cera/Lady Edith thing happen in my head? Downton Abbey reruns are never going to be the same. :(

That is magnificent, just like Lady Edith.

I wouldn’t find it weird that my guy only dated beautiful women before me (and I would hope I was the next in line). I would find it hella weird if he only ever dated women with one profession, especially if it’s not a profession he was in personally. That’s creepy. Kind of implies he’s hiring women for job…

I know! I miss Tweet Beat so much! And I’m even on Twitter now. COme back to us!!!

He reminds me so much of my elementary school librarian and sexy is the last thing Ms. Watkins was.

So hello dirt bag. I love you, but where did your sister tweet bear go. I am to old and set in my ways to actually do Twitter. Y’all where my hook up.

That’s my criticism of the Coens as well. And if I remember correctly it was also Jezebel’s. They’ve written a lot about them but here’s one article from Jez I found.
