YouTube has so many BBC period romances with governesses in rich mansions and victorian decor and 20 acre manicured lawns and enormous perfect gardens hidden behind giant houses with mysterious gothic architecture, you could be watching them for a year.

I don’t get it. If I had a yard that big, I’d have four legged pot roasts walking around on it. I like the victorian ladies and some of the stories, though. “Emma”, “North and South”, “Sense and Sensibility”, are really good.

I’m still a guy, though. “Titanic” sucked...LOL

I thought “Titanic” was such a totally stupid movie that when I was given the two-VHS boxed set for some holiday or another, I almost immediately gave it away. “North and South” was “good” (with reservations) but sappy stories are just that: Sappy. I don’t do romances, even though to some extent, I am a romantic.

The plots are predictible, the bodies differ only by settings, and the endings are always mundane.

If I had a yard “that big,” I would have found more things to do with the possessions than letting the ground go fallow. The possibilities are endless!
