Flying: grocery, laundry
Reading: How to Distract a Duchess
Crafting: Dragonfly shawl, Dr Who scarf, Jayne hat
Media: Merchant of Venice, 2004 Really excellent and not just because that was gayer than I remembered or imagined it.
From the IMDB trivia page: "The bare-breasted prostitutes were not put in the film to make it more risqué, but rather to add a note of historical authenticity. Venetian law at the time required all prostitutes to bare their breasts because the Christian authorities were concerned about rampant homosexuality in their city."
Yep. And Bassanio may be marrying Portia, but he is very in love with Antonio, and vice versa...
Pacino was brilliant, Irons and Fiennes were convincingly in love, and Lynn Collins held her own among that cast.
Business: none
