Our potential new dinnerware. Just in case you really wanted to know.

Now what movie to watch next? It's been an awfully long time since I saw The Opposite of Sex and lord knows how much SNL bites these days.

That's some rather elegant dinnerware. I vote for Gosford Park (unless you already watched it), and yes. SNL is the drone in the background, and that's about all it is. They need Kevin Nealon and Timmy Meadows back. Perhaps.

Thank ye. And I did watch Gosford Park for I think the third time. Great cast.

"I fought for the South. We lost."

S'been ages since I saw Near Dark, which was a regular feature of my freshman year, but I still remember that ruefully calculating look in Jenny Wright's eyes. And Bill Paxton's spurs, of course.

You know, I've never seen it. Silly me. Tonight after the Simpsons HAlloween special!

That is a lovely design. *admires*

I'm watching SNL and it really is blah. The dinnerware is much more interesting. :)

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It just seemed very fitting.

I caught about five minutes of it, and I went back to the DVDs. Such a shame. I really haven't watched the show since I was 12.

SNL was impressively bad last night. Could they possibly have crammed any more simplistic ethnic jokes in there? I know it's generally bad, and I don't watch often lately, but last night seemed particularly lame.

Yeah, that's what made me turn it off. That, and the whole deep fried communion wafer thing. Icky.

Thanks really pretty dinnerware. it looks like a waterford/wedgewood pattern but the price is much more reasonable. :) that's a *GOODTHING* because you are more likely to get a full set! mikasa is top quality too. my mother bought a discontinued mikasa for her everyday and she uses it all the time- likes it better than her formal lenox :) (of course, her formal lenox is pretty bleh , very 70s...sorting, um, boring?)

have you picked out pretty glasses too? flatware? we went for a very obscure glassware pattern (i got it for christmas / bridal shower from my parents) and decided just to go with stainless for the time being since our china was very pricey. eventually i would LOVE sterling, and honestly, i would use it everyday-- it's the best way to avoid polishing.

it's staggering how expensive all this stuff is. i splurged on my bday to complete my china pattern for 8...as soon as i did that i thought "wouldn't it be better to have 12?" "wouldn't it be nice to have fruit bowls?" "wouldn't the coffeepot be lovely?" then i realized to handle dan's family and mine (adults only)- we would need 14! oh lordy! ::)


mikasa makes really nice crystal as well. :) HAVE FUN!! :)
(oh- most importantly, does gramma approve? :)

We still need to pick out some glassware and whatnot. I've been mostly staring at all the kitchen appliances. ;)

Granny does indeed approve. She thinks I've inherited her shopping gene.

kitchen appliances are gooooooooooooooood , but remember that things like waffle irons are 20 dollars and people really like to get them , but you'll love your china/crystal/irishlinen etcetc so much more in the long rung (if you remember to play with it! :)

now, if people want to give you cusinarts and espresso makers and kitchenaids.... go for it! :)

[water-damage.livejournal.com]

that's really pretty!!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank ye! I like it a lot.

My sister got Mikasa for her wedding and loves it. Her husband has even fumbled a few pieces, but no chips yet!

Woo, durable dishes are good dishes. We need those.
