Upstairs, Downton

A few days ago my mom asked me whether or not I had seen the season finale of Downton Abbey.  I hadn't and so the next sentence out of her mouth....wasn't words.  I take that back. There might have been an "oh my" somewhere in that sentence of oh...............wow................oh.............my..........ah...oh..

So yesterday I caught up with Downton Abbey.  I was two episodes shy from the end of the show.  I don't consider Downton much more than a historical soap, but the show is fun and it's amazing to see how it's become a pop cultural icon here in the US, so I watch the show.  That and avoiding conversations like the one above with my mother.

Anyway, my thoughts about Downton Abbey without giving any plot spoilers away can pretty much be summarized by the cartoon below that's been circulating on the internet the past couple of weeks:

From the Internets: Catch-up Version

Here's just a random group of stuff I found online that amused me:

1) On today, the day that Lindsey Lohan reported to jail, the following image was released for Lohan's new film, "Machete" .
2) Selleck-Waterfall-Sandwich:Several months ago, a website featuring photoshopped pictures of Tom Selleck with a sandwich amongst a backdrop of a waterfall was all the rage for about 5 minutes. Here's my favorite so far. Via http://selleckwaterfallsandwich.tumblr.com/

3) Mothers Marrying off their Adult Single Children

There's now a website for everything. A mother who is obsessed getting her single son married set up a website where mothers can set up their kids. I foresee a Mormon version in less than 6 months. I foresee my mom talking about doing this half-jokingly for myself and my baby brother.
