Here Comes the Brides

I took a quick break from writing my final on the homosociality in Shakespeare's 'problem plays' to buy a Mother's Day gift. I still don't know if I'll be going home for the summer or staying here (my lease ends on the 15th--ack!) so I just bought it online and hope it ships home at an appropriate time.

Her favorite show growing up was Here Comes the Brides, which comes out on DVD within the next few days.

Set in Seattle in the 1870s, "Here Comes the Brides" followed the tale of how the Bolt brothers were in danger of losing their timberland at Bridal Veil Mountain because their men were in near revolt over the lack of women in Seattle.

Her schoolgirl crush was on a young Bobby Sherman. She was a member of his 'offical fanclub' owning the albums and the lunchbox.



Apart from the lunchbox, my mom had all-right taste. For the late 60s, at least.
Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
