Accents

I had started watching the show “The Gilded Age” a few months back. One of the things I was thinking about just now that had struck me so strongly at first was how well done the accents were for the show. They were somewhere in the 1800s US in the show, and the accents were both nostalgic for me and incredibly annoying. That early American accent has always rubbed me a bit raw. Haha It isn’t quite British, but it isn’t fully its own yet. It’s like a British accent that forgot to take its makeup off two days ago, and all the smudgy bits are still everywhere, and you can still see what makeup was applied, but the general effect has gone already. Same idea, but with an accent of an entire people.

Anyway, off to sleep before I meet my husband in a few hours at the airport. Yippee-yay!

Thank you, God. Please, keep my husband and my baby safe and make them well and whole. Keep us together as a happy and loving family, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

P.S. I think I actually already wrote about this, back at the time…
