Shit. So I just finished the first season of The Tudors, and despite several grossly inaccurate historical events (Cardinal Wolsey did NOT commit suicide), the series is totally amazing for its entertainment value.
Prudish people would hate it because there's so much sex in the first season that it's hilarious, especially since the women get stripped down to nothing and the men normally take nothing off (I'm still trying to figure out how that's possible). But yeah, the rampant sex is hilarious. Especially when in the next scene Henry gets proclaimed a defender of the faith. I'm also a huge fan of knowing the history, especially with Anne Boleyn almost there on the getting married part, I know that Thomas More is finally going to get his head whacked. I actually hate him historically and fictitiously. He has this smug arrogance and absurd level of piety that is actually incredibly bizarre at this time. While I get why humanists were so revered, I also understand why they were universally loathed.
The unfortunate thing is that season two doesn't come out until December 30!!!! Damn. I have to wait that long for rampant sex, tons of gore, and the occassional historical fact thrown in???
Besides that, I am now only three sections away from finishing all of the material I'm supposed to learn in Greek this semester.
I also have about half of my history of medicine test done. I have my thesis set for my long essay and I know what sources I'm going to use.
That's tomorrow. Also to be done is that gdf outline....
But, alas.
