gwynnegaI'm having a cozy day at home, while outside it's LA-autumnal. Just had a second (small) pot of Trader Joe's Wintry Blend coffee, which I adore. I just wrote 500 words of chapter 20, and will do more. I need to do some research too. The chapter is set at a 1976 daytime TV awards ceremony, so I've been researching the Daytime Emmys, which only got started in 1973. I can't find any Youtube clips from the 1976 show, but the 1975 show, weirdly enough, took place on a boat in the Hudson! Everyone looks a little discombobulated, or, possibly, seasick. The 1976 Daytime Emmys took place at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center.
I've started reading Georgette Heyer's The Corinthian. I find I can't read as much as I'd like these days, focused as I am on the home stretch of the Jo book, but Heyer seems to work. Also I'm back to watching the 1966 pre-Barnabas episodes of Dark Shadows, which are comforting in their glacial pace. David Collins is an excellent Creepy Child.
Victoria Winters (David's governess): You said you hated me. You said if I died, you wouldn't come to my funeral.
David: Did I say that? If you died, I would go to your funeral.
Victoria: Why?
David: Because I LIKE funerals.
Heeee.
