Lately I have been watching a lot of Historical T.V.

My husband and I watched the John Adams series on HBO.  It was a fantastic series and really made history come alive in a whole new way for me.  It made  American History real.  I am sure they may have taken a few liberty's here and there since its a T.V Show but for the most part I think it was accurate.  I hope HBO might do more of these.

I always loved history anyway, one of my best subjects.  If you could make money in going into History in college I would have done it, but as far as I know, there isn't much you can do except for teach, and I am not really a teacher. 

Last night I stayed up and watched the movie "Marie Antoinette".  I really really enjoyed it.  I knew the basic story about her but I didn't know very much.  It was very interesting and I thought Kirsten Dunst did a fantastic job in the movie, I also liked the addition of todays music added to the movie.  It was still a historical telling just the addition of fun music. 

I think next time I go to the library I will get some historical biographies.  I just get so into these things and just love to learn about other peoples lives.  If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
