The Kenneth Branagh film version of Much Ado About Nothing always makes me smile.



Sigh no more, ladies,
Sign no more.
Men were deceivers ever.
One foot in sea and one on shore
To one thing constant, never.
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into hey, nonny, nonny!



I'll tell you more things later. G'night.

So Thursday night, ahn1010 came over and helped me hang some stuff in my bedroom. It looks all girly now.


For my birthday two years ago, Kate and Larry gave me one of those mosquito netting bed canopies. I had mentioned drooling over them, and lamented over how expensive they were. But they found one that wasn't very expensive, picked out a really cool color, and gave it to me. I believe the color on the package called it "curry". Interestingly, that canopy sparked the color and style theme that evolved to where it is now.



This is what my bedroom in the old place looked like after sleepykins and tanyad helped me put it together a couple years ago. Clearly, the canopy works best when there is a bed frame to keep it from eating its occupant, but I have found that a few well-placed pillows keep it anchored enough that I don't feel like I'm being digested by mosquito netting.

Ahn also helped me hang two gorgeous lanterns that I have collected from World Market over the last few years. They are that Indian/Middle Eastern style with mirrors and dangly things on the bottom. One is a deep rose, and the other is a burnt sienna kind of color. When they're on, and the only lights in the room, they cast a very interesting hue. They give the room a kind of fantasy feel.

Last night, I took some movies in my room with me, climbed in bed, turned on the rosy light, pulled my canopy closed, and watched Ever After and Much Ado About Nothing. I felt about twelve, but this room theme is making me very happy. I have a duvet that matches the throw that you can see on the bed in the above pictures, and when I clean my room and put the duvet on the bed, my harem/Middle Eastern/Indian bedroom theme will be complete. And then I will take pictures and make you look at them.
