the borgias - so it really is christmas after all

(I am only half-here; work has gone downhill, and in so many ways.)

Okay, so I didn't think I'd like it. Oh, I was very wrong.



Oh my God The Borgias.

Hello, incest, orgies, murder, and power: I don't know how this could be more awesome unless sent me a pony, too.

hello, the borgias, where have you been all my life?

So this is a bad day already (hello system environment, are you drunk? LOAD), but I realized two things:

1.) I brought my laptop to work for a reason.
2.) So I can play the The Borgia's trailer on it forever while I work.

So I am. My day got exponentially better.

Trufax, I am in it for the Lucrezia, the Cesar/Lucrezia, and God willing the Cesar/Machiavelli, because come on, Machiavelli wrote him love letters. Thing is, Jeremy Irons is ridiculously hot as Rodrigo (Pope Alexander VI)and while technically speaking I never had a particular kink for religious authority figures who at the time of their reign were second only to God in their power...yeah, that changed abruptly. Who knew?

But mostly it's Lucrezia, whom I have loved since Cecilia Holland's City of God, which I read as a wee Seperis and was really confused that the Pope a.) had kids and b.) everyone was okay with this.

Why is it not spring yet???????
